Ryan Phillippe praises Jay-Z's '4:44'

Los Angeles: Actor Ryan Phillippe has commended rapper Jay-Z for showing honesty in his new album '4:44'.

The 47-year-old rapper has seemingly confessed to being unfaithful to his wife Beyonce, with whom he has five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy and newborn twins, and Phillippe has hailed the star for telling the truth, reported Entertainment Tonight.

"I listened to the album probably six, seven times since it came out and I'm finding new stuff in it all the time.

It hits me hard. As a dad we have all messed up, right? "All of us in different ways, and the fact that he is speaking to that and also to fatherhood, and to being a better person, a better husband, I mean to me, it's the exact album I was hoping it would be," he said.
