Yellowstone star Cole Hauser revealed the bizarre gift he gave Drake for his birthday.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor, 47, detailed the rapper's requested series-related item.
"Last season's premiere had over 14 million viewers by the way, congrats," host Jimmy Fallon, 48, said.
"Not too shabby," Hauser replied, to which Fallon agreed, "No, it's not too shabby at all."
While discussing surprising fans of the show, Hauser divulged that Drake, 36—whose real name is Aubrey Drake Graham—enjoyed watching the drama.
"Yeah that's a bit strange. I did not see that one coming," Hauser admitted.
"A buddy of mine, Jake, said Drake wants a pair of boots for his birthday, and I was like, 'He actually rides? Like, what are you talking about?'" the Dazed and Confused alum explained.
"He was like, 'No, no, no, he doesn't ride, he just wants a pair of boots, and he wants you to ride in the boots and give them to him.' And I was like, 'Fair enough.'"
Fallon then pulled out a photo of the shoes to show the audience.
"You actually did it! You sent him a pair of boots, there you go," the dad of two—who shares kids Winnie, 9, and Frances, 7, with wife Nancy Juvonen—said, revealing Hauser signed the boots with his Yellowstone character's name, Rip Wheeler. "You're a man of your word."
The comedian noted that "Drake's actually a good actor," which surprised Hauser.
"I'm not aware of that," he said.
Fallon explained Drake "got his start" on Degrassi the Next Generation, the long-running, award-winning series about the dramas plaguing teenagers.
"I'm just saying there's room for a cameo, would you be down for that?" Fallon asked.
"Oh yeah, bring it!" Hauser replied, which prompted explosive cheers from the audience.
Drake celebrated his 36th birthday on October 24 with a star-studded bash at Sexy Fish in Miami.
The "God's Plan" artist's longtime collaborator and friend, DJ Khaled, was in attendance, as were fellow rappers 21 Savage and Lil Baby. Other guests included Love Island stars Genny Shawcross and Emily Salch, Zack Bia and Alix Earle. Kanye West's ex Chaney Jones also made an appearance.
Two weeks prior, Drake celebrated his son Adonis' birthday, who turned 5 years old on October 11.
In photos shared to Drake's Instagram that same day, the birthday boy could be seen enjoying his party at what appeared to be an arcade. He played basketball, met Spiderman, raced cars in a video game simulator and more.
"Happy 5th to my twin," the proud dad captioned the post.
Yellowstone Season 5 premieres on Sunday, November 13, at 8 p.m. ET.
