We know, based on his iconic role in Degrassi, that Drake can act. But can actors be Drake?
W asked stars like Amy Schumer, Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks to offer their dramatic interpretations of the year's catchiest song.

Amy Schumer, Kristen Wiig and Bryan Cranston are stern. Greta Gerwig is predictably earnest, because maybe "Hotline Bling" really is just about finding yourself. Paul Dano makes Drake sound like a serial killer, and Seth Rogen is a neurotic dude who might be afraid about that serial killer, or just a girl calling him back. Brie Larsen is a bored party girl, while Rooney Mara plays it straight, but you know something much darker is lurking beneath.
There really are a lot of directions the film adaptation could go in.
