Eminem Speaks On The Success Of ”Relapse” And Possibly Acting In Future / MTV

Eminem Reveals Secret Ingredients For Sunday’s Movie Awards Performance What would it take for the MC to hit the big screen again? ‘The right script,’ Em tells Sway. UNIVERSAL CITY, California — Eminem is back. Selling an impressive 608000 copies in its first week, his latest album Relapse announced the rapper’s comeback in a big way. And now, to further cement his return, Eminem will be hitting the MTV Movie Awards stage, for one of his first live-TV performances in years. Eminem had a top-secret, closed-door rehearsal at the Gibson Amphitheatre late Saturday night for Sunday’s show, and MTV News’ Sway caught up with the Detroit MC on his way in to the theater to talk about his recent success and what has surprised him lately. “I don’t know if anything’s really surprised me,” he said. “More so, I’m happy about the response the record is getting. I’m glad people have caught on to the concept.” After his bumpy road with substance abuse, Em has some less harmful ways to get pumped up for a performance. “Lots of alcohol and lots of prescription medications used to be the ingredients,” he told MTV News. “But now, it’s Diet Coke and Red Bull.” Em, who is no stranger to movies, having starred in the acclaimed “8 Mile,” said he’s considering a return to the silver screen. “For a while, I guess, I wasn’t ready,” he said. “But I’m ready now. I’m just looking for the right script.” Eminem will take the stage during Sunday’s show, which kicks off at 9 pm ET.
