Machine Gun Kelly talks about new film 'Taurus'

Machine Gun Kelly, said he hoped his semi-autobiographical film about the final days of Cole, a troubled rapper, would inspire others with turbulent lives, according to Reuters.

In "Taurus", director Tim Sutton teamed up with Baker for a film that blurs reality and fiction, casting Baker as Cole, in a study of superstardom and its pitfalls.

"We almost were shying away from it being autobiographical," he told a news conference at the Berlin Film Festival. "It felt like ... it just became me."

"I got to have ... on-screen therapy for things that I never really dealt with," said Baker, who previously worked with Sutton on the 2021 Western "The Last Son".

Baker's fiancee Megan Fox makes a brief appearance in the film, playing Cole's ex-wife.

The film's production title was "Good News", but the new title was chosen to match Baker's star sign.

"I'm more hoping that people can watch it and I'm the muse for someone to find their own inspiration and finding a will to live," he said
