Kane Hodder, who played Jason Voorhees in several of the Friday the 13th films, has spoken out on Kanye West’s usage of his character’s iconic mask. He says he’s fully in support of the rapper but wants him to get a nicer version of the mask. Ye has been wearing the mask in numerous public appearances and performances in recent weeks.
“I was watching a bunch of the videos and I love it. Kanye, you gotta let me get you a better mask though. That’s kind of a cheesy one. I could get you a nice one and if you would just, during your performance, give the eyes a little bit. That’s what gets people when you’re wearing the mask. Do the big eyes.” From there, Hodder remarked that he’d be down to send Ye a movie-worn version of the mask. He also suggested that Kanye’s polarizing reputation isn’t hurting that of the mask.
