he told Vulture over the phone.
Then I asked them again.

Then I asked them again.
At first it was like, Come on, guys, its gonna be corny as hell.
So they make the big bucks for a reason, they know more than I do.
Obviously, its not that this is anything serious.
Sometimes, you just have to remind yourself to have fun and know that youre here to entertain people.
When I got to the set, I was like, Man, what the hell is going on?
What are we wearing?
Whats going on here?
What was it like filming it?
Was it just sitting in a car surrounded by a green screen?
Did they have to suspend you for the zero-G stuff?It was all of the above.

We did a lot of stuff outdoors in front of the screens.

Nobody who grew up with me is surprised about the humor that happens when Im on-camera.
Im very grateful for Vin Diesel and Justin Lin, and rest in peace, John Singleton.
My first movie wasBaby Boy, my second was2 Fast 2 Furious, and he directed both.
Ill do it for per diem.
But if you think about it,Baby Boyhad nothing to do with2 Fast 2 Furious.
That was a dark, dramatic film.
I had never seen that kind of money in my life.
Me and Paul Walker had the time of our life in Miami partying and clubbing every day.
One aspect of RomanF9picks up again from2 Fastis that hes eating constantly, even on the way to space.
