Fifteen years old and you have a 27 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: foundation a nonprofit organization called You Can't to Hollow? Is 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: that nonprofit? Um, it's sixteen years old. We started it 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: I think maybe eighteen right around closer? Yeah, yeah, Okay, 30 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: tell us what it is because this is really interesting 31 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: that you know, you're fifteen. Most people are concerned about 32 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that their selfish, but concerned about their 33 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: own personal games. And here you are trying to get 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: back and help on individuals. Because we all know that 35 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,919 Speaker 1: arts and education is a tough field to get into 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: and to pursue most of success. So you decided to 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,959 Speaker 1: start something. Tell us about what exactly it is and 38 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: how can students participate? Well, You Can't Do is a 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: nonprofit organization and basically we um mostly operating marginalized communities, 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: whether it be the in the cities of Atlanta, the sea, 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: or anywhere UM in the country. UM and the organization 42 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: that allows and helps young kids in those modernized communities 43 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: specifically to achieve their dreams and go after whatever they want. 44 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: Because often times the environments where the resources are in 45 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: the last UM here than maybe the middle class suburbs 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: of Georgia or anywhere else. You don't have the resources, 47 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: then you don't have the the visibility to actually see 48 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: and be able to accomplish your your goals. And so 49 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: UM we have tools and we go into schools and talk. 50 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: Obviously I can't do that now because of the pandemic, 51 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: but uh, that's primarily the work that we do in 52 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: marginal Do you do anything now because of the pandemic 53 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: or you know via zoom or via any virtual platforms. Well, 54 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: we're trying to brainstorm and try to come up ways 55 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: and innovative ways that we can still be productive during 56 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: this time. That's sort of been what we've been doing 57 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: during quarantine, is just trying to brainstorm and come up 58 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: with different ways that we can expand and still be 59 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: productive during the pandemic. You know, I have I have 60 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: the honor of and this is just listening to you 61 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: talk and watching your career, and I have a something 62 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: that honor black men. It's called the Cafe Moka Swag 63 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: Award CASTO because it's a female centric syndicate show for 64 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: women of color, like One Point Forward me and women 65 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: listen to the show weekly on syndications. The weekend show 66 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: and the Cafe Mocha Swagger was a celebration of black 67 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: men who are making a difference in our community by 68 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: empowering others to reach their life goals, from civic leaders, businessmen, activists, 69 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: celebrities and everyday dads. I'm gonna tell you something, joh 70 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: he I've never given that award to a teenager until now. 71 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: Oh um, you know, because because see, you know, and 72 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to saying the thing that just you know, 73 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: you know, when I do research for I do an interview, 74 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: and so I get a pretty good grasp of what 75 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: a person I'm talking to. That's why some of the 76 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: interviews they sent come to the question they sent to me. 77 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: I go all page and people go nobody has ever 78 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: asked that question. Because I'm actually I kind of gotta 79 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: sense I'm a former entertainer. I managed some of the 80 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: biggest stars in this country and currently managed one of 81 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: the biggest stars in this country. And I produced a 82 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: lot of TV shows. And when I when I hear 83 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 1: a young man who's fifteen years old, who, like I said, 84 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 1: who's making a difference in our community by empowering others 85 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: to reach their life goals, that's you. Uh So, why 86 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 1: is that important to you to help people? And they're okay, 87 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 1: young people to reach their life goals? Oh man. I 88 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: think just everything that I do from a place of 89 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: wanting to to help first and foremost my people, um, 90 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 1: black people, not only my people, but primarily my people, 91 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: because um, you know, just the way that our societal 92 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: structure is in the hierarchical nature of it. Oftentimes, if 93 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 1: you are black and you are marginalized, you are born 94 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: with more strikes on you than um our Caucasian brothers 95 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: and sisters. So I think knowing that and being aware 96 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: of that, it makes you responsible because once you're at 97 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: catering on and once you're aware of it, you now 98 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: have a responsibility. You have the tools and you have 99 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 1: the resources, and so now it's your responsibility to do 100 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: something about that. And to make sure that UM. Just 101 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: because someone is UM maybe less fortunate when it comes 102 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: to privilege and power, it doesn't mean that they can't 103 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: have the same access to UM, their dreams and their 104 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: goals as anyone else who does have that privilege. Is 105 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: born with that privilege and that power. And so that's 106 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: where all of my works comes from, whether it be 107 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: the roles that I take, whether it be the work 108 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: that I do off screen and the stories that I 109 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: write and create and curate. I always want to come 110 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: from a place of Okay, how is my community going 111 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: to feel about this? And how can I service my community? 112 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: But by doing this, I want to I wanna go 113 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: to the movie that's currently out that's be out HBO 114 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Max and October October eight, that be in fact called 115 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: Chom City Kings, and I want to at that wrapped 116 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: this conversation up with you be in great detail. I 117 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: want to go back to the young Simber days and 118 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: all these other opportunities you have. But I watched tomp sayons, 119 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: I couldn't take my eyes off young man. You have 120 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: the ability to wait for the moment. You have an 121 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: uncanny skill where you're dynamic enough to understand that sometimes 122 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: you don't have to say something to be effective. M 123 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: that's a I'm telling you when I right now, I'm 124 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: visually going through different scenes. One of my favorite scenes was, Uh, 125 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: I've seen the movie twice. Usually when I'm engaged in something, 126 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: I gotta gonna see this again, you know, because you 127 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: know when you see something. I'm saying Johnny, when you 128 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: see something two or three times, actually you really enjoy 129 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: it more because you start really because you are you 130 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: already know it's coming up, so you kind of see 131 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: it a little bit different. Oh, I didn't see that. 132 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: And one of my favorite scenes when Black shows up 133 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 1: at the summer run and then you just staring at him, man, 134 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 1: and that that's the moment I'm talking to you. Didn't 135 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: have to say anything, but you knew your acting ability 136 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: showed me how important he was in your life. Tell 137 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 1: me about that skill set, Tell me about that a bill. 138 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: Thank you. UM. I think that's just um, I don't know, 139 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: thank you. UM. I think that's just I skill something 140 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: that I picked up. I am. I gotta really great 141 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 1: compliment from a producer. Um, when I was working on 142 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: film that I did a few years ago. Uh, and 143 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: he said that the reason that I got the job 144 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: was basically what she said my ability. It wasn't what 145 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: I said is what I didn't say that really um 146 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 1: allowed me to get that job. And so I think 147 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: just focusing on that and naturally, when you're in the 148 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: moment as an actor, you know, if you're doing your right. 149 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: I think every shore that stack of ability to still 150 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: load and still be in the moment even when they're 151 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: not anything. So it really is, you know. And I'm 152 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 1: not telling I'm not telling you going all.

How did that happen for you? My friend? 198 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: That movie opportunity? Okay, um, just like any other I was, 199 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: actually I was. There was a challenging year. I went 200 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: in a movie that didn't do as well as that 201 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: I was gonna do, and a TV show that got 202 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: canceled out the one season. And in the midst of 203 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: trying to figure out where I want, what I wanted 204 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: to do next, and just trying to figure out what 205 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: was the next stage in my career, the my agent 206 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: sent over trying to the script for Trum City kings 207 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: Um and I put off reading it for a while 208 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: because I was like, no, this is I don't think 209 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: this is the right project, even though I hadn't read 210 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 1: the script, but I auditioned for it anyway. I put 211 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: myself on tape and Uh, I got a call back 212 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: and they I read again, and then eventually I went 213 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles and I screen tested forward with Danielle 214 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: Hansley litt D and UH because I Curtis, who are 215 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: also in the movie that played they played Lamont and 216 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: Swear to God, I screen tested with them and I 217 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: am screen testing in front of on Health Mineral Soto, 218 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 1: our director, and UH. I think leaving that room, the 219 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: three of us knew that mostly knew obviously that until 220 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: we've gotten the job yet. But I think we could 221 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: steal the energy that that we that we had done 222 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: something specially, so maybe a week later. I think we 223 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: got maybe a week later, which is which is unusual 224 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: because sometimes it takes months. Yea a week later, you 225 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying exactly for real, it was dhing. 226 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: But like I said, I think we knew from the 227 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: energy in the room, just the chemistry between the three 228 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 1: of us that we that we had done something specially 229 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: if we knew nothing else, we knew that we had 230 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: sort of killed the audition and that we had a 231 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: special chemistry and bond on screen. Um. And so a 232 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,079 Speaker 1: week later they said that they wanted me, and we 233 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: worked out the deal, and I was still sort of uncertain, 234 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,719 Speaker 1: but I was like, all right, I'm gonna trust my gun. 235 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm sure of God, and I went fusting head and 236 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: it was it was really cool. And I think I'll 237 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: say this about Trump City Kings. It was my first 238 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: time being at the center of a story, I'll say, um. 239 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: And I definitely think that it sharpened my work ethic. 240 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: I worked very hard on an off screen you know. 241 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: I would do maybe nine and a half hour days, 242 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 1: and I worked every single day, every single day of 243 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: production I was there. Um, I think I had maybe 244 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 1: a day and a half off and I worked every 245 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: single day. And I would come home to the hotel 246 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: at night and still work on the script and work 247 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: on the accident work of a dialect. Like I really 248 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: worked hard on this. And so this is a labor 249 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: of love from all of us who are part of 250 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: the film, And yeah, we're just really excited and proud 251 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: of it for for sure. Now when I when I 252 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: hear you talk like this about it, I I do. 253 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 1: I do I see a young director?

That's how you 261 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: win long term. You don't win long term, you know, uh, 262 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: just doing it when you feel like it. You know, 263 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: you know you can't just because you can doctor basketball. 264 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean you can shoot shoot a basketball. We've learned 265 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: that in life. And so Meek mills his role in 266 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: the movie um mentor let's talk about his role off 267 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: screen with you and because if it felt very genuine 268 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: on screen, yeah, um, Meek and I it was interesting 269 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: because Meek released his last on that he released Championships. 270 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: He was working on that while we were shooting the movie. 271 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 1: And uh, he has an incredible work out that he 272 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: was he was going back and forth. I mean, you 273 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: can't you one of the things you can't say about 274 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: me because that he doesn't work hard. He works extremely hard. Um, 275 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: and he was doing championships while he was going coming 276 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: back and forth doing shows, working on the album, and 277 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: doing the movie full time. So um, he has incredible 278 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: work ethic and also, uh, one of the things that 279 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: people don't know about him is that he's actually kind 280 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: of shy and reserved until himself. I would say, I 281 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: think people have a preconceived notion of the rappers in general, 282 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: just because of the field that they're in, Um, in 283 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: the braggadocious nature that is sort of required to do that. Um, 284 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: But he's been He's he's a really nice and simple guy, 285 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: really shy and um. He he came prepared, and you know, 286 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: we all sort of it was a team effort to 287 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: sort of make him feel comfortable because this is the 288 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 1: first time, his first time doing like a movie of 289 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: this magnitude and mine as well. So I think we 290 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: sort of help each other out in that sense. Um. 291 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: He would ask me questions and I would ask him questions. 292 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: And the cool thing about it is we were both 293 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: equal inquisitive when it came to how each of us worked, 294 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: and I was watch him from a distance and sort 295 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: of see how he worked and how he got into it. 296 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: And it wasn't It was really cool to get to 297 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: work with him and see him become more and more 298 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: emerging to the process at production went on. Now, when 299 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: you say the production, now, when we were talking about 300 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 1: its three friends, young teeners friends in this movie, and 301 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: and uh, it likens me to another one of my 302 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: favorite movies on a series on Showtime, The Shot. There's 303 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,680 Speaker 1: three young men in that series that I really really 304 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: are emotionally have tied to, and I worry about doing 305 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: the series and and I think that's what happens when 306 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: you have good chemistry in that television series and Shot. 307 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: And so now when I go to Chomp City Kings, 308 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 1: I found myself worrying about you three little bad suckers. Okay, 309 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: warning about what y'all gonna get into that's not gonna 310 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: lead to anything that's positive in your life. That's the 311 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: chemistry you was talking about, creating relatable care chactors that 312 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: people can like be motivated to root for and be 313 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: sad if they don't achieve the success that they're planning 314 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 1: or shooting to get in life that how did that? 315 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: How did that play itself out? When we talked about 316 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: Meek meo. But that chemistry that you three had on screen, 317 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: I have on screen because the movie is coming out 318 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: on HBO Max in October. Talk about that. Well, Like 319 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: I said before, I think because I uh V Danielle 320 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: n Um, we knew leaving the chemistry read that if 321 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: even if we didn't get the jar, we knew that 322 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 1: we had done something special in the room and we 323 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: did the screen test, and uh, it was really amazing 324 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: to see our bond development growth throughout the filming of 325 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: the movie and for us to trust trust each other 326 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,879 Speaker 1: this um throughout the process of filming and um just 327 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,560 Speaker 1: get closer off screening on screen.
