Hart to Heart | How Ice Cube Prepared His Son O'Shea for Straight Outta Compton Role

Ice Cube's full interview on Hart to Heart is streaming now on Peacock: pck.tv/3AdrWFY
Ice Cube's life story has been incredible, but having his son play him in a biopic was awe-inspiring. Kevin Hart and Ice Cube sit down with a glass of wine to discuss O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s role in "Straight Outta Compton" and how Ice Cube prepared him to play the young rapper.
Synopsis: Armed with his insatiable curiosity, lightning wit and vintage wine, Kevin Hart sits down to interview A-list guests in the comfort of his virtual wine cellar for an uninterrupted hour of insight, truth, enlightenment and of course, some humor. Hart to Heart will dig deep to find out what makes these world class influencers tick, their goals and aspirations, their journey to stardom, and the obstacles they overcame to reach their lofty status.

It was actually unbelievable how he absolutely and entirely impersonated his dad! Astonishing! I was hypnotized!

[@IWannaUnaliveMyself]

He sucked.

[@Larep11]

“I gotta do this for the family” I got chills when Cube said that. It’s so real.

[@marct9221]

Cube has always been genuine!

O'Shea Toretto-kson

[@edithesquinca2169]

O'Shea was amazing in Den of Thieves. I've seen that movie so many times just because of him. He blew my mind! The ending is just crazy!

[@pkpurpledope]

Amazing movie

[@EJ0222]

Literally same, watched it over & over because of O’Shea

[@zanelemofikoe2374]

Where can I watch that

[@malcolmmaze2583]

He's English accent in the end scene(Den Of Thieves) was on point 😊

[@majhislife]

exactly. Plus he's in a movie with 50 cent too. That's amazing

[@KniteSparxx]

What a surreal experience and opportunity that was..and his son slayed that role. Imo, He was the best part of that movie.

[@mc8135]

Yup. O'shea became a star and got himself some really nice roles out of it. The movie was a springboard for his career

[@vandalg282]

Its also helps that O'shea literally looks 100% like his dad, So Surreal, they could be twins, probably the most accurate portrayal of anyone. Especially when you see him with the Jerri curl, its like "When did Cube age 20 years?"

[@yoboyrob201]

Nobody should be able to portray your father better than the son. He what happens when you put knowledge and talent together

[@michaeloyston5373]

Cube is a legend, and his son is a class actor.

[@bjakfalvy]

we need a lot more movies like straight outta compton

[@ccrz77]

more fake representations of historical events to make someone look like a hero?

[@daintyjoey3350]

@@ccrz77 woooooow and you totally know exactly which facts was true and which was false like you were “actually there” get a load of this guy fellas😒

[@gwillonthebass]

I’m thankful to hear this story. I remember debating with my uncle about how I didn’t think Oshae was gonna be best for the role, but boy was I proven wrong when I finally saw it. He was by far my fav actor.

[@mrsbreazy7413]

Whoever directed this movie did a fantastic job🙏🏽 one of the best biopics of artists I’ve ever seen

[@CHIM3RA.]

Who would've thought of a better father son collaboration than this? Nailed it 😊

[@manishs_]

Love the style of questions on these interviews - like I’m genuinely learning so much of what the actors history was

[@denise_1]

Yes Kevin did a great job!

[@Jasitus]

At 1:07, in this moment you realize how proud a father was of a worthy son. Cube was really moved.

[@OnlyAntonis]

O’shea, Ice Cube, Kevin and Chris Tucker should make the Last Friday Movie 🙌

[@tonysoulz]

No

[@AjaArrow]

This sounds legit.

[@timothyahn2006]

It's always nice to see them having a nice serious conversation lol. Every time I see these 2 together it's always jokes and laughs and roasts, but while that's nice this is also nice

[@pharaoh2537]

I think it's amazing and a blessing to be able to have such a beautiful life where your son grows up to honor You by wanting to play you in a movie. And launch a total successful individual career on it.

[@djmoodstabilizer9142]

Kevin is such a great interviewer 😀

[@Parlourboiz]

I watched straight out of Compton and 30mins into the movie, I was asking how they got some one to play ICE Cube and why do they look so much alike. I really had no idea it was his biological son until I saw the cast credits after the movie....Great portrayal!

[@melissauribe948]

i been loving Ice Cube and i will forever love Ice Cube!

[@MoparSammy]

It’s crazy Cube doesn’t get old

[@mariajulien-harris146]

Always love me some ice cube. I really enjoy his movies.

[@cobenstorer6114]

O'Shea Jnr is gonna win an Oscar in the future. He's got major screen presence. I knew it after seeing him in Ingrid Goes West. After Obi-Wan it was a wrap.

[@SquidandCatAdventures]

Great interview.

Dre should’ve followed suit an had his oldest son play him but he hates his kids.🤷🏾‍♀️ He seems very talented and determined. I think he would’ve done a great job. His son always honors his dad even though he’s basically disowned them all.

Ice cube: The first thing you need to do son to prepare for this part is learn to age at a quarter of the rate a normal man does...

[@d2dar459]

Its like he stopped ageing after Barbershop. Lol.

Feels weird to see someone does the talking and kevib does the listning

[@norouziman8748]

In my opinion out of all the celebrities who have kids right now Ice Cube is doing it right. O’Shea is doing thing differently then his old man, granted I want him to do more but he’s doing okay for himself. It also helps to know he watches WWE

I didn't know O'shea was cubes son wow
