OUTKAST - WEB SEALED MOVIE ROLE FOR ANDRE 3000

OUTKAST star ANDRE 3000 credits an internet advertisement for influencing his decision to join the cast of upcoming movie FOUR BROTHERS.

The HEY YA! hitmaker, real name ANDRE BENJAMIN, MARK WAHLBERG, TYRESE and GARRETT HEDLUND play foster brothers in the film, and Benjamin admits that if he hadn't surfed the web, he may never have accept the role offered to him by director JOHN SINGLETON.

The rapper says, "I read it and I said, 'You know, John, I don't know if this is the next one for me.'

"And then I was on the Isle of Man in Europe, and I was on iTUNES trying to buy some songs or something, and an advertisement for a CD popped up on screen, and it was for a band called the BROTHERS FOUR. I swear to God, the Brothers Four!

"The next day I called my agent."
