This is not the first time that the well-known Latina singer Becky G, 25, has been cast in a big screen production. She has already had roles in "Power Rangers" and "Empire" series, and now she will be starring in the movie "Good Mourning".

This romantic drama is directed by American rapper Colson Baker, better known in the entertainment industry as Machine Gun Kelly (MGK).

The film, which is MGK's first feature film, tells the story of a Hollywood actor (Machine Gun Kelly) who is faced with a dilemma choosing an opportunity as an actor that will boost his artistic career or leave everything to follow the love of his life (Becky G).

In the film, MGK believes that his girlfriend has broken up with him by text. This story is based on a real episode that MGK lived with his fiancé, actress Megan Fox, who is also joining the cast of "Good Mourning". “It was right before she went on a trip,” Kelly recalled, adding, “So I was just stuck, like, sitting there trying to decode this text. And it was like the Da Vinci Code. I went to all these places, like what does this mean? What does this mean? And everyone I was getting relationship advice from wasn’t in a relationship”,  Machine Gun Kelly said in an interview with Variety.

In the movie credits, MGK uses his real name as he claims that his role in the movie is not related with his personality in the music industry. “A huge part of that character that you’re watching in the movie is me in real life,” he said. “Like I am very kind of a boyish, lost, sweet kid at heart and I feel like the world kind of makes me kind of harden up and feel like I have to defend myself,” he commented.

The cast of "Good Mourning" also includes Pete Davidson, Dove Cameron and Mod Sun.

The film will premiere in theaters on Friday, May 20.
