“Extra” was with Ice Cube as he cemented his place in Hollywood history with a hand and footprint ceremony in front of the TCL Chinese Theatre.
The rapper and actor shared his gratitude, telling us, “The longer I’m in this business, the more I’m amazed by things like this, something I never dreamed of. When you look up and people reward you with honors like this or Walk of Fame or even doing the Dodgers trophy, you know, all those things… they blow me away."
He marveled, "This is movie star stuff right here."
During his acceptance speech, Ice Cube showed his appreciation to all those on hand for his ceremony.
He said, “Thank you for everyone that showed up to hear a young dude from South Central Los Angeles get the chance to express how much I’m appreciative and I'm living the dream."
He stressed, “I’m living the dream. There’s no greater canvas for artists than a movie screen. Nothing gets bigger. There’s no more way to express yourself better than a movie screen for artists, so being able to paint on a canvas that big with so many great people, I'm really appreciative."
He added, "I know a lot of people are on the Walk of Fame, but the true movie stars are in front of the Chinese Theatre."
