Hairy Eminem Attends ‘The Defiant Ones’ Premiere With Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar
Detroit rapper Marshall Bruce Mathers III, who is professionally known as Eminem, was at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles on June 22, Thursday, to attend the premiere of the HBO documentary series "The Defiant Ones." During the event, he reportedly avoided the red carpet.
Eminem took to Instagram to share a photo of himself with Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar. It appears that the "Rap God" rapper did not want photographers at the red carpet to take photos of his red carpet as he wanted to reveal it on social media himself.
"Just a couple of guys from Compton and one from Detroit," Eminem wrote in the caption. "With a beard."
Fans were surprised as they got used to seeing Eminem being clean-shaven. The photo received almost 1 million likes just three days after Eminem posted in on Instagram.
"The Defiant Ones" is about the friendship and partnership of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Directed by Allen Hughes, the HBO documentary series has four parts and it features several rappers including Eminem.
Eminem and Lamar were not the only celebrities who joined Dr. Dre and during the premiere of "The Defiant Ones" at Paramount Studios. Also present during the event were Pharrell Williams, Sean Combs, who is professionally known as Diddy, and "Suicide Squad" actor Jared Leto, Billboard reported.
During the event, Leto was asked about the film "Wonder Woman." The "Suicide Squad" actor revealed that he saw the superhero film starring Gal Gadot and loved it.
"I thought it was incredible," Leto told Entertainment Tonight. "They did such a good job."
Among Leto's upcoming films is "Blade Runner 2049." Set to hit theaters on Oct. 6, the sci-fi thriller film also stars Harrison Ford, Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas and "Wonder Woman" star Robin Wright, among others.
As for Eminem, it appears that fans will not be seeing him star in a feature film like "8 Mile" soon. What they can expect is the upcoming release of his ninth studio album, which he has revealed to be in the works.
