Lil Nas X may be a great rapper and singer, but he also has acting aspirations. And in the episode of Carpool Karaoke above, he finally gets his chance to realise them.

After joining James Corden for some passionate renditions of classics like "Old Town Road" and "That's What I Want", the two head over to the taping of an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful — and actually get the chance to star in a scene.

Sadly Corden only gets a background role, but Lil Nas X gets a solid nine lines as a waiter serving two of the stars having a very tense discussion about an affair. The episode will air on April 19 on CBS.
