Jonah Hill wanted to be a rapper.

The 34-year-old actor is known now for his roles in comedy movies such as 'Superbad' and 'Knocked Up', but has revealed he never wanted to be an actor when he was younger, as he instead had his sights set on making music.

When asked if he had ever considered a career as a rapper, Jonah said: "Of course I did. This is an exclusive. I didn't have an emcee name, but I made a lot of beats. ... This is very embarrassing - it was Spindrome. Like syndrome, but spin. It was wack, dude.

"I'm not a good emcee or a good producer - I mean I kind of made fire beats - but I still had an MPC [drum machine] and was making beats for six years."

The 'Maniac' actor spoke as he gears up for his directorial debut on 'Mid90s', a movie about a boy named Stevie growing up in the 1990s who escapes his troubled home by falling in with a group of young skateboarders.

Rap music is featured heavily in the movie, and Jonah says it was important to him that the genre was treated with respect.
