Musician and actor Usher has joined the cast of STX Films’ upcoming stripper saga “Hustlers”.
The film, starring Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Constance Wu, Lili Reinhart, Keke Palmer, Julia Stiles and Mercedes Ruehl, follows a crew of former strip club employees who team up to get revenge on their wealthy Wall Street clients by maxing out their credit cards.
According to Rap-Up, the “She’s All That” and “The Faculty” actor will play a high-level client who attends the Scores nightclub. Additionally, British actor Tommy Hatto will star as the love interest to Lili Reinhart’s character, who is unaware of Lili’s strip club career.
“Usher was brought in to provide some star power to the project, and Hatto was cast, after impressing Jennifer when he auditioned for her film The Boy Next Door,” a source close to the production tells the outlet.
“Hustlers” shoots this month under the direction of Lorene Scafaria, who also penned the script.
