We first knew him as Mr. 305. Today he's best known as Mr. Worldwide, singing, performing and entertaining kids and adults alike, scoring several number one hits. Recently Pitbull hit the big screen in the new animated film "Epic," which also stars Beyoncé, Steven Tyler, Colin Farrell, Amanda Seyfried and others.
Armando Perez, Pitbull, was born in Miami and through music was able to turn his life from negative to positive. In his "Epic" role, he portrays Bufo, a funny-looking but well-dressed toad, living in the enchanted shrunken forest with the Leafmen and other characters in this classic good versus evil film.
Pitbull was recently in Manhattan promoting the movie and stopped by a Mamarazzi event, hosted by The Moms -- the media duo of Denise Albert and Melissa Gerstein. Here's what he had to say about his debut movie role, what music means to him and how he inspires kids.
