Atlanta actor, Danny Glover has compared his journey to stardom with that of Tupac‘s, widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, in a new interview with Esquire magazine.

Like Tupac, Glover has successfully moved from television to music and now film, thanks to starring roles in upcoming blockbusters like the Lion King remake and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

I know everybody likens themselves to Tupac a lot,” Glover said.

I am the new Tupac in a strange way. I grew up similar. I didn’t have a mom in the Black Panthers, but my parents were very pro-black. Also, my mom made me go to performing arts high school. She was like, ‘That’s where you need to be.'”
