Comedian and 'Praise This' star Druski says appearing in his first major movie was 'mind-blowing': 'I thought it'd be years before I'd get my own trailer'

• Comedian Druski has described starring in his first major movie as "mind-blowing."
• Druski, 28, stars alongside Quavo and Chloe Bailey in the new Peacock movie "Praise This."
• "I thought it'd be years before I'd get my own trailer. Everything was dope," he told Insider. 

Social media star and comedian Druski has described starring in his first major movie as "mind-blowing."

The 28-year-old star plays a supporting character by the name of Aaron in the new Peacock movie, "Praise This."

Chloe Bailey, Quavo, Anjelika Washington, and Tristan Mack Wilds also star in the film, which follows a young singer's journey to stardom through the medium of an underdog praise team.

"The whole thing was great," Druski, who rose to fame in 2017 thanks to his comedic skits on Instagram, told Insider. "Just getting accustomed to this new way of movie acting and just filming in general, it was all new to me. Like having my own trailer. I thought it'd be years before I'd get my own trailer. Everything was dope."

"It was a great experience with great people," he added. "Everybody helped me out a lot that was on the set, co-actors, directors, producers, everybody."

Druski said he got on especially well with Quavo, who plays a superstar rapper named Ty in the film.

"Me and him are from the same area in Atlanta, man. So that was natural. He's one of my dogs, man, it was a good link-up," he said.

Asked what was the most challenging bit about starring in his first movie, Druski said "learning the lines."

"Not that I had a lot, but I think it's just new to me," he said. "I'm so used to improving and just doing my own thing, you know? That'd probably be the biggest thing I had to adjust to. But the comedy side of things, you know, that's easy for me."

Just like the comedy, Druski said the film's scenes in which he had to dance also came easy to him.

"Black people got rhythm," he said. 

On top of starring in "Praise This," Druski is also in the middle of his first solo standup tour, "Coulda, Woulda Shoulda."

Things were going swimmingly at first, but, quite literally, came crashing down at the ninth show in Austin, Texas, when Druski slipped and fell down the stairs.

He broke his ankle and has been in a cast ever since.

In true Druski style, however, the comedian saw the funny side, sharing memes of the moment made by fans to his Instagram, which included edited photos of him playing Twister and starring in "The Matrix."

"It had a rough start, I'll tell you that," Druski told Insider of the tour with a laugh. "I have this two-week break right now that I'm on, so thank God, you know, I have a little bit of time to rest."

"But I actually loved going out there, seeing the fans, doing the meet-and-greets, it's been great," he added. "Everything's just been really good. I'm just learning. This is my first tour by myself and I'm definitely getting better every night."

"Praise This" is now streaming on Peacock.
