Actor Anthony Mackie recently appeared on The Pivot Podcast, where he reflected on his experience playing Clarence in the 2002 classic 8 Mile—a role that became legendary after Eminem’s character publicly roasted him in a rap battle.
Mackie laughed about the infamous scene, where Eminem’s character, B-Rabbit, calls out Clarence for coming from a privileged background, attending a private school, and having both parents still together. He pointed out that the school mentioned in the film, Cranbrook, is actually an incredibly prestigious private school—a detail that made the diss even funnier.
