A$AP Rocky’s Acting Chops Praised by Costar Rose Byrne & Director of New Film

A$AP Rocky had to miss out on the Berlin Film Festival today due to his ongoing assault trial in L.A. … but his new film costar Rose Byrne and the director are filling his absence with praise!!!

The rapper stars with Byrne in the upcoming flick “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” … and according to Variety, she and director Mary Bronstein had nothing but good things to say about his performance.

Bronstein revealed she wanted “non-traditional actors for the supporting roles,” which opened up the space for Rocky to play a motel superintendent.

The director also says she and Rocky are in constant communication … hoping for the best, relating he was a pleasure to work with, for herself and the crew on set.

Byrne called Rocky a “true renaissance man” and peeped his swag … “He lives and breathes art and fashion and film and he has such respect and reverence for all the genres and all artists. I was totally disarmed by him.”
