I’m 34 about to be 35 and there’s some good stuff out there but I’m the type of guy my best ideas come in the car when there’s silence. He didn’t push it, but it’s really a testament to his commitment to the role. There was a bad version of it that did not get played, which I’m very happy for. He had the burden being the guy that had the beautiful girl and him being a rapper that is not African-American. He asked questions and I felt like he delivered a brilliant performance. He had such a desire to be honest, truthful and believable that he took off his ego. Going back to Beyond The Lights, how was working with rapper Machine Gun Kelly? I don’t want to criticize, I just felt like it wasn’t for me and I felt like it wasn’t productive to what we’re trying to do as a community. My only issue is that as people of African descent, we have so many stories of real heroes that lived and died in the name of freedom and justice. Last year, there were reports that you were up for the role of Django in Django Unchained and that you found the script upsetting. Like I said, I have a family, I don’t really do the thrill stuf. I try not to do things that if something went wrong, my mom would look at me and shake her head so I stay away from things that are too risky or risky for no reason. There are places I haven’t been, but I can’t think of too many things I haven’t done. Is there anything you haven’t done in your lifetime? In the movie, your character has never been on a plane.
