Andre Benjamin aka Andre 3000 portrays Jimi Hendrix filming 'All Is by My Side' on May 28, 2012 in Dublin, Ireland.
Jimi Hendrix is back from the dead ... kind of.
Donning an afro and a style straight from the '60s, OutKast's Andre 3000 was snapped Monday on set of the upcoming 'All is By My Side', a biopic about the legendary guitarist.
Andre 3000 – whose real name is Andre Benjamin – will stray from his rapper past to play the psychedelic rocker. The film is said to be based on Hendrix's pre-fame years and is due out next year.

Benjamin told the Daily News eight years ago that he was slated to play
the guitar god on screen, but it took this long for the pieces to fall
into place.
It seems it was well worth the wait for the OutKast rapper. The film, which co-stars Haley Atwell, is currently filming in Ireland.
