[This story contains spoilers for F9 .]
They say lightning doesn't strike twice, but F9 star Sung Kang begs to differ. After Kang's fan-favorite character Han was killed off in 2006's The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the Fast creatives — including Kang'southward friend and collaborator Justin Lin — decided to retcon the franchise's timeline in social club to continue Han in play. This creative choice led to three Tokyo Drift prequels involving Han including Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011) and Fast and Furious half dozen (2013). And when Furious 6's post-credit scene revealed that Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw was the driver of the Mercedes that seemingly killed Han in Tokyo Drift, the book on Han and Kang'south role in the franchise appeared to be closed close. That was indeed the case — until Los Angeles Times film reporter Jen Yamato had other ideas.
"Jen [Yamato] had a vigil for Han — an actual vigil with people and candles," Kang tells The Hollywood Reporter when asked nigh his first time seeing the "#JusticeForHan" social media campaign. "She'south a fan of the thought of what Han represents to then many, Asian or not. Information technology taught me and instilled in me that Fast is no longer hokey. I used to always call up of it as a hokey action motion-picture show, but within that, there's so much power to make a deviation and truly impact people. Then I was totally honored, and that's when I started taking information technology super seriously."
In the post-credit scene of F9, Kang and Statham share the screen for the showtime time since 2007 Statham-Jet Li actioner State of war, as Han confronts the man who tried to impale him. When Statham was integrated into the Tokyo Drift car crash footage in Furious 6 and Furious vii, archive footage of Kang was used in both cases. And oddly enough, afterward wrapping War in 2005, Kang and Statham happened to discuss the former'due south upcoming role in Tokyo Drift. But even though Han survived Deckard Shaw's attempt on his life, Kang, along with Lin, insists that "Justice for Han" hasn't been served nonetheless. In fact, Kang alludes to the need for justice toward a unlike Shaw brother [Luke Evans' Owen Shaw].
"As Sung, it's fairy-tale land right now," Kang explains. "Only within the story, if yous just take away my personal feelings and involvement, yeah, [justice] hasn't been served. It hasn't been served because someone that is love to Han [Gal Gadot's Gisele] is not here anymore. So how is that resolved? And if I discover the homo responsible for information technology [Luke Evans' Owen Shaw], what do I practice to him? So we'll run across."
In a recent conversation with THR, Kang also discusses Han's emotional reunions with Vin Diesel'due south Dom, too as Tokyo Migrate's Lucas Blackness, Jason Tobin and Shad "Bow Wow" Moss. He as well shares his excitement regarding his current role on Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Well, how are you, Sung?
I'one thousand and then relieved that this [pandemic] is somewhat ending, at least for u.s.a. here. Somewhat. I just want to give people hugs. It'southward been such a long time since I've fifty-fifty given somebody a handshake. Just not being able to hug each other is making people feel lonely. It sounds corny, but it's important, correct? Then I'g actually happy information technology's kind of ending. Nosotros can actually get out and run into people in the audience and gloat F9 with people. It'southward pretty cool, man.
So yous met Justin Lin on Better Luck Tomorrow , and while the Internet claims you lot wanted to play the Ben (Parry Shen) character, you plainly settled for a character named Han.
100 percent. (Laughs.) Everything works out when you trust, yous know? The matter is, fifty-fifty when I was pushing to play Ben, I said to myself, "Should Justin cast me to play Ben?" I thought it would kind of compromise his vision of the motion-picture show that he wants to make, so I agreed with him. And Parry was perfect casting for Ben. At that fourth dimension, I was just hungry for screen fourth dimension and a function that had different dimensions. And Han, he's the quiet one. At that place's not much written on the page for him. In Amend Luck Tomorrow, he's commonly written as standing, brooding, smoking, you know? (Laughs.). But yeah, it worked out 100 pct. I'thousand glad that I trusted my gut and said, "I would just honey to be on the squad with someone similar Justin. I trust this guy." Internally, it was a scrap of a terminal hurrah considering I had then many reservations nigh it. I thought, "Is in that location any possibility of having a existent career playing iii-dimensional characters?" I didn't sign up to become play a yakuza, a waiter or a guy continuing in the background. I want to push the story forward. I don't take to be a star, simply you want to be on the court. You want to go the W with the team, and that's how Justin spoke. Basketball terminology is the language he spoke. He trusted me to play the position that he needed me to play, and that happened to be Han. So it just worked out where that position could carry over into the Tokyo Drift, where nosotros could grow together.
I know it's been said over the years, but do the two of you really care for Better Luck Tomorrow as the origin story for Fast 's Han?
I think it'due south more of a romantic notion to say that our lineage comes from Better Luck Tomorrow and to exist able to celebrate a character that happens to take the same name. It's a like cadence, right? In Better Luck Tomorrow, at that place's a like vibe and like ego that people responded to at the time, and currently with the Han in Fast. But on newspaper and legally and all of that stuff like copyright issues, I'g certain information technology gets super complicated. (Laughs.) Merely for the states, it's barbecue talk. We assemble and get, "Await what nosotros did. Nosotros actually created a filmography and a lineage for our character from a credit card flick." So that's where it just gets fun, yous know what I mean? It's super romantic. In a manner, it's the Hollywood fairytale.
Is "Han Seoul-Oh" a response to the aforementioned copyright problems?
No, Han Seoul-Oh is completely misconstrued considering Han Seoul-Oh is a fake name that Han Lue used on a fake ID. That's the ID that pops up and it's a joke. When Han went to get get a fake ID, he put Han Seoul-Oh every bit a joke to fuck with everybody. (Laughs.) But at present, everyone thinks, "Oh, that's his name." So, no, it'due south an inside joke from Justin to say, "That'south how clever this guy is."
Since Justin clearly loves yous and the character, did he desire to impale Han in Tokyo Drift ? Or did he take to honor someone else'due south script at that indicate in his career?
At the time, we never talked near that being a problem or unnecessary, considering he is a learned filmmaker who follows story. Essentially, Tokyo Drift is the hero'southward journey, and Obi-Wan has to die in a way, right? So that character needed to die, and if he didn't die, I don't retrieve he would be a fan favorite that would now take this campaign behind him. You appreciate things when they're taken abroad, and I felt it. When we did Tokyo Drift, there was no talk about continuing him in other parts of the franchise. Just I felt really happy, and I was like, "That's the mode you get out, homo. That's how y'all become set up to get play other roles that are three-dimensional." So I felt and then grateful that people had a reaction to that character even though he probably says four words in the whole movie. He's just eating snacks. (Laughs.)
Final year, Christopher Nolan was asked about his favorite Fast movies, and while he said the first one was his favorite, he quickly added that he had a real "soft spot" for Tokyo Drift . How validating did that feel?
It's super validating when you get validation from your peers. The irony of the Fast movies is that they were supposed to be B-movies at first, and now we take Oscar winners like Helen Mirren and Charlize Theron coming to play with u.s.a.. And Christopher Nolan, a filmmaker similar that, his statement gives you insight that the guy is a true film lover. They play Tokyo Drift all day, every day, somewhere. It's a great hotel movie and information technology'due south fun. And so it's just so validating. You kind of have to express mirth a petty chip, considering at in one case, it had a prejudice associated with information technology. It was like, "It'due south a corny Fast and Furious movie." Just at present, so many people want to come and play with united states, right? And so we're doing something correct. (Laughs.)
Everybody wanted #JusticeForHan years afterward — and rightfully so — just it was quite the one thousand gesture when they retconned the timeline to keep Han around for what became Fast 4-6. How flattering did that feel at the time?
Each time was humbling, and it's a gift that never stops giving. The experience of a Fast movie is similar going to the amusement park every single day, but anybody is walking around and asking you if you want something to eat or drinkable. It'due south such an experience to be on a Fast movie because at that place's so much resource to give you every opportunity to just practice your work the all-time you tin can. It just sets you up and tees you lot up, human. You get everything. I don't even eat lobster at home, but they have lobster there periodically. It'due south crazy! (Laughs.) I don't even have to bear witness up with underwear; the costume department will requite me a whole pack every twenty-four hour period, you know what I mean? There's then much privilege and awesomeness. All of the stuff that you imagine and fantasize about being in a Hollywood studio moving-picture show, it's like that and more than in a Fast film because it'south successful. Yous've got larger-than-life characters that are constantly coming in and out. So every day has such heady energy on set up. And to exist able to be invited back after your character is dead, it's like getting invited to that special family reunion or that party that you know is going to be crawly. As an thespian, it's nifty considering you get to work with the best of the best, likewise. The crew is astonishing, and what'south dandy is every bit we get older, a lot of the crew is growing up with united states in a mode. They watched our movies, and they're so happy to see us. It allows you to exist the best version of yourself, not only as a person, human and colleague, but in front of the camera, as well, because these guys desire united states to succeed. So in every fashion, I don't see how whatever actor can complain when they work on a moving-picture show like this. There's no task similar this. None! So blessed.
When you walked off the set of Fast 4 , did you assume that was information technology for y'all?
Yeah, I thought that was it. Each time, I was like, "This was awesome. Thank you, guys. This was a lot of fun. Hopefully, I get invited to the premiere." (Laughs.)
Then when did yous first realize that #JusticeForHan was set in motion?
I started seeing information technology because of my now-friend [Los Angeles Times moving-picture show reporter] Jen Yamato, and and then I saw stuff on social media that was going viral. But Jen had a vigil for Han — an actual acuity with people and candles. I was similar, "Is this some crazy fangirl?" (Laughs.) But in that location was deeper meaning behind it and it was really thought out. So I was humbled by the gesture of playing a character that means so much to people on multiple levels and so many subtextual levels, too. And in the electric current climate with all this divisiveness and Asian detest, it was similar, "Wow, it'due south interesting how everything is connecting." Then I tin can't just dismiss this every bit a joke or some fangirl stuff. You lot accept to honor it, and then I was similar, "This is wonderful." And when I started learning how to do podcasts, I wanted to meet Jen, and she volunteered to exist one of the commencement guests on my podcast. So nosotros talked and I got to know her. And over fourth dimension, I was like, "Wow, she is one of the people who'south completely responsible for this grapheme coming back and me having these wonderful opportunities." It's besides providing for my family because you lot make money on these movies, obviously. So I'yard looking at her and going, "This journalist is a movie grapheme in a way. She's giving me life." She'south a fan of the idea of what Han represents to so many, Asian or not. So I was like, "I'1000 honored." Information technology taught me and instilled in me that Fast is no longer hokey. I used to always recollect of it as a hokey action flick, just within that, there's and so much power to make a departure and truly impact people. It impacted this hyper-intelligent woman who is in touch with what'southward going on socially and knows how to articulate it in words. So I was totally honored, and that's when I started taking it super seriously.
And how did Justin deliver the news that Han would return for F9 ?
Well, we're friends, and so we meet each other. We'll take walks and play hoops, but he'south always bouncing ideas off of me. But he as well keeps things close to the chest considering he doesn't desire to make promises that aren't going to happen. So one time he got everything aligned, he just gave me a telephone call and said, "I think I figured out how to bring Han back, but there'due south some work to be washed. So let's simply keep talking almost information technology." And that was it. It was just a casual call from a buddy, going, "Hey, get ready because you're going to the family reunion." (Laughs.)
Did you cut your hair to symbolize a rebirth of sorts, or did yous not accept time to grow it dorsum afterwards a previous job?
Well, information technology was both. I tried a bunch of wigs on considering I had to wear wigs throughout the flashbacks, but I could've chosen to take long pilus the whole pic. But we had long discussions with the wonderful hair and makeup department that's worked with us since Fast 6, and we all felt like it was advisable to keep Han's hair short. He's in hiding, too. He'southward disappeared. And anyone with long hair is saying something. It's a argument, and they ordinarily stick out in a crowd, right? And Han is older now. He has to alloy in, and he has to wait like more than of a father figure, so I felt similar it was totally appropriate. And Lisa [Tomblin], the pilus designer, is just then amazing. She worked on all of the Harry Potter films, and is an amazing, astonishing collaborator. She did a not bad job finding Han'due south hair because he's older, and I think information technology works. And Justin was really pushing, "I desire Han to get-go aging like Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke and Steve McQueen in Bullitt." So the long hair symbolizes carefreeness, but with brusque hair, there are more wrinkles on his face and heart. He did lose someone, and when a guy is that heartbroken, how does he walk through life? I don't think he's going to become out with flashy long hair anymore.
I love how you were grouped with Jordana Brewster since Mia was the first grapheme to immediately console Han later on Gisele (Gal Gadot) died in Fast 6 . So did you and Jordana bail over the fact that you were both returning at the same fourth dimension?
Information technology's but piece of cake to bond with Jordana. She becomes your sis right abroad on set, and you lot are automatically enlisted as an uncle to her sons. (Laughs.) They're on fix all day with her, and they're busybodies. They're the coolest little kids in the world, and and so you lot're automatically thrust into her life and joined at the hips. Off-screen, we all accept the same relationship with Jordana. She's the sister, and I've heard many times from people that the camera doesn't prevarication. She is that sister that everybody wants, so information technology's easy to connect with her. She's amazing.
Kurt Russell'due south Mr. Nobody had a major hand in Han'southward render, and then information technology must've been a thrill to act opposite him.
Saucepan list! Come on, now. Like, come on. I'one thousand a child of the '80s, and Han's long hair is very immature Kurt Russell, you lot know what I mean? (Laughs.) Information technology's very inspired past that. And his whole cadence, likewise! In many ways, I feel similar he was office of the Dna that I have in me as an actor and how I want to play a leading man. He'southward the true movie star, man. He doesn't show up with a bunch of bullshit. He just shows up with his cowboy boots and flannel. And he's fucking happy and he's transparent. At that place's no bravado and at that place's no, "I was cool back then and y'all're merely a punk kid." Instantly, he's like your older brother. He'southward just great. And when you become to piece of work with him, there's humility considering we're human and people make mistakes. Yous flub lines, but he teaches yous how to work together and collaborate and elevate one another. And it's not pic star bullshit, you know what I hateful? What an honor. Even the curt scene that we had together, that's the stuff you write abode about. That'due south the stuff where you check in with yourself and y'all become, "I can't believe I'm really here correct now." And the dude is hella absurd. I can actually say I learned something from him. Similar, I desire to be him. He talked about his grandkids and how awesome they are and what they're doing on the weekend. I thought, "I desire to be that dude and show up to a Fast when I'chiliad his historic period." That seems pretty cool. (Laughs.)
When you shot Han's reunion with anybody at the "clubhouse," what was the vibe of the set like?
That was my first thing!
You had smart producers.
Yeah, I had hella feet the nighttime before. It felt similar transferring out of school in the middle of your freshmen year and so coming back in the middle of your junior year. Everybody has their friends already, and fifty-fifty though you were friends with everybody, you wonder if you're going to consume luncheon by yourself the next twenty-four hour period. I swear that'southward the story of my life, and then I was like, "I hope everyone'due south absurd with me. I hope I didn't change, and I hope I don't feel like I'm being squeezed into this movie considering my friend is the managing director. I don't want that vibe." And that hug with Vin, the photographic camera doesn't lie. Vin set information technology up, and he was like, "Let's welcome him extra. Let's make certain he doesn't have whatever reservations. Let'due south show him how much we appreciate him and the value his grapheme is bringing to the film." And I felt it. Really, I was like, "Wow, they are genuinely happy to have me hither. They are genuinely welcoming me back to the franchise as one of the family unit members." So it was pretty absurd. Information technology could've gone the other manner.
The Tokyo Drift reunion affected me a great bargain. When was the final time you saw Lucas Black prior to the barbecue scene?
Probably the premiere of Tokyo Migrate. That was information technology. Aye, he was a kid, man. He was into video games and a whole bunch of other stuff that kids are into. We had zip in mutual. And Bow Wow [Shad "Bow Wow" Moss], at the fourth dimension, was a rap star, and we likewise had nothing in common. I was the older dude, yous know? I recollect trying to talk to [Lucas] well-nigh Rich Dad Poor Dad and saying, "You should read Rich Dad Poor Dad and take the money you're making off this motion picture and invest into some existent estate, man. You should do that." And he just ignored me. And when I saw him on prepare, the outset thing that he told me was, "Hey Sung, remember that book, Rich Dad Poor Dad? I read it and I follow that book now. I wish I would've listened to you lot dorsum then because I would exist ahead of the curve." So that already tells y'all who he'southward become since I'd seen him. At present he's a begetter and a husband. And his perspective on his place and contribution to a moving picture set is one that I respect. That'due south movie star quality stuff correct in that location. He's there to make the picture show better and to show the best version of himself. And information technology's non about him being a star; it'south about him elevating everyone. And those are the words he uses now. That's his cadence and I dear information technology. And we weren't on our phones in our trailers. We hung out in the cast room and ate together and just caught upwardly for that whole barbecue scene. That was a solid twenty-four hour period. He was in that location for ii days, so we were able to encounter each other for ii days. Only that charcoal-broil scene had a whole bunch of delays considering information technology was shot in London. They built the Toretto firm on the backlot, and since information technology was raining, they had to wait for all the rain to end. So we were stuck within our trailers for probably half the day, and we had and then much time with Bow Wow and Jason Tobin, who was also brought back from Better Luck Tomorrow and Tokyo Drift. And they're fathers now. Everyone has kids. Everyone'south a niggling heavier. (Laughs.) They have more wrinkles and their hairlines are a little farther dorsum. And it's harder to get up. Only all of the pretenses were gone, finally. All of the "I've got to be cool" nonsense was gone, and I was simply dealing with good men. Proficient men.
You gave Jason Tobin a huge hug in the movie, and I tried to treat information technology as Han hugging both his cousin Virgil [ Better Luck Tomorrow ] and Earl [ Tokyo Drift ].
Did yous know he was originally supposed to play Twinkie? If you lot think almost it, what is a Twinkie? It'due south yellow on the outside and white on the inside. So it didn't actually make sense that Bow Wow was called Twinkie, you know what I mean? But it didn't work out, so Justin still wanted to accept Jason in the movie. And then he is part of Han's crew in the garage.
What was your favorite action moment in F9?
I don't mean to exist biased, but it is the scene in the tank with Francis Ngannou, the current UFC heavyweight champion. The scene is a little shorter than I hoped because nosotros did shoot a lot of stuff, but we actually put our middle into that and you only have so much real manor. But working with him was and so awesome because I'g a huge UFC fan. Information technology's so absurd because you think you're going to deal with some serious muscle head who just wants to swallow meat and talk nigh fighting. Simply no, he schooled me on international tax law, and that was our conversation. We talked almost investments and how to save money and provide for family. He was telling me where to comprise this and this. He's highly intelligent and also super grateful. And so you realize why someone like him is a champion. He came from nothing, homo. He literally broke rocks to eat, and he literally had dirt floors. And now, he's flying individual jets to Dubai, and he's in Fast and Furious movies. But there'due south this dignity and a truthful champion kind of free energy to him, which doesn't come up from money. Information technology doesn't come from all of that. It comes from parenting, family unit values, and agreement crisis and how to get over it. He knows what information technology feels like to be hungry. Then when you work with someone like that, you come out of information technology and you look at the scene. Sure, it'due south a cool activeness scene, merely it means and then much more underneath it. Anyway, that's why I love that scene. (Laughs.)
And now we've arrived at the big post-credit scene with you lot and Jason Statham. How was that day?
So cool. I accept a Statham story that's so Fast related. It'southward full circle. I did a picture show with him prior to Tokyo Drift chosen War, and I was a character that was in his police team. It was him against Jet Li. Nosotros shot that in Vancouver, and when nosotros wrapped the film, we were both at the airport on the same 24-hour interval. So he asked me, "Hey, what are y'all doing next?" And I said, "I'm going to go do this movie Tokyo Migrate, Fast and Furious." And he said, "Fast and Furious? That's a good franchise to be a part of." And I was like, "Yeah, man." And he said once again, "That'due south a good ane, man." And and so years later, he plays Shaw! It's crazy. But I never worked with him when he was in Fast. I wasn't in those films when he started participating. So when I did that scene with him that 24-hour interval, we hung out in the makeup trailer, and I was similar, "Hey Jason, do you lot remember that conversation at the airport, man? This is crazy." And first of all, I'm a fan of Jason Statham and his movies. I think he's dope. I played a small supporting graphic symbol in his film, and now, he'due south and then connected to Han that it'south actually kind of made my career. It's connective tissue. It's and so crazy. What if nosotros hated each other on that movie and we were on fix? It would exist a nightmare because information technology'south a modest boondocks. (Laughs.) Yous bump into each other again, somehow. But really, it was super cool. It was awesome to work with him and play together. People call back we should have a feud and become method, but it's acting. I think the scene was pretty cool, man. It came off really well. Powerful.
Do you already know how that post-credit scene resolves?
No, I have no thought. Justin will non tell me until probably the day of. I don't know if he knows yet, but I'm certain he has ideas.
Justin said that simply bringing Han back isn't justice; justice is how he'due south used moving forward. Do you agree with him that justice hasn't been served all the same?
As Sung, information technology's fairy-tale land right now. But within the story, if you just take away my personal feelings and involvement, aye, it hasn't been served. Information technology hasn't been served because someone that is dearest to Han [Gal Gadot'southward Gisele] is not hither anymore. So how is that resolved? And if I find the human responsible for it [Luke Evans' Owen Shaw], what do I exercise to him? Then we'll see.
Y'all referenced Obi-Wan Kenobi before, which makes sense since you're filming Obi-Wan Kenobi right now. How'due south that experience going for you?
Well, I'g still shooting. I worked yesterday and I accept a night shoot tomorrow. I used to dress upwards in the cheap Kmart Halloween costumes every single twenty-four hours and play pretend with my friends. (Laughs.) I mean, stuff was held together with duct tape somewhen. And now, I'm sitting in that location on set with real Star Wars characters in front of me, and I'm just like, "What is this?! I can't believe I'm here." At this age and existence around at present a petty bit, people go so jaded. It just brings me down. And on this set, no affair how old someone is, they grew upwards with Star Wars, and they're all freaking out that they're on gear up and working in whatever department. Most of the movies weren't shot in America, so Americans didn't have opportunities to work on Star Wars movies, but we grew up with information technology. It'south office of our pop culture Deoxyribonucleic acid. And that energy is on prepare. It's crazy, man. I watched Star Wars: A New Promise with my family and looking at information technology, going, "I can't believe I'thousand going to be part of this storyline and legacy." It'due south insane! And information technology shoots in L.A., and so I become to stay home. That's even cooler, you know.
Information technology must exist surreal to exist able to watch those movies while knowing that your character exists in that galaxy.
Super cool. Yes, I was watching A New Hope, going, "Man, we're using some of the same droids, and we're able to create some of the background through digital volume stages and current stages. You don't have to go to the Sahara and shoot anymore." You lot can actually shoot it locally and make information technology wait even ameliorate. Then it's crazy that we're going back in fourth dimension in the storyline, just the technology is so current that the visuals and special effects can now be applied here. It'due south all of the absurd stuff that George Lucas would've loved to exercise back and so, and you get to be a part of it, man. And you get to see it! Production is evolving right in front of you. The technology is the best of the best, and as an actor, it'southward amazing to look at this stuff and piece of work with these tools. This is probably the future, and I get a jump start on how to work with the cameras on the book phase. Then information technology'southward simply a different muscle that you start developing, and the potential is amazing. Information technology'south so much better for the actors to actually have visuals on an LCD screen, as opposed to a dot on a blue screen or a dark-green screen. There was a time when nosotros were acting to a tennis ball. And likewise, the people at Lucasfilm and Disney are and then in bear upon with inclusiveness, and they instill that in the way they rent, the fashion they shoot the production, the way they organize and the way they capeesh people. So not only practise you see the technology evolving, but you also run across how Hollywood is evolving, socially, in terms of diversity and hiring. It'south astonishing. In that location are people from all over the world. Y'all hear different accents, and you go, "Information technology's not a thing anymore. This is the future." And I'thou the onetime guy now. Then the 20- to 30-year-one-time folks meet the world differently, and this is the mode it should be. So on both sides, information technology'due south pretty awesome.
Returning to Meliorate Luck Tomorrow , a patron of a restaurant yous worked at actually gave you $50K to help fund the film?
Oh yeah! Reiko Chan from Twenty-four hours O Productions. She and her husband ran a production company that basically worked as line producers for Japanese companies that wanted to do commercials in L.A. It was like car commercials for Toyota or Lexus. Then they would frequent this restaurant that I worked at when I was starting out, and at that place was some talk well-nigh the budget bug for Amend Luck Tomorrow. And Justin didn't think we were going to be able to cease. Then I was devastated and said, "If this motion picture doesn't happen, then what hope do I have? I feel like this guy actually has a chance." So I went to work and I was just bummed. Simply Reiko would always come in on weekends with clients and she would always talk to me. I call her an artistic guardian angel or like an older sister, who's always checking in and asking, "How is acting going?" She was an artist, herself, and she'south ever supported musicians. And she still does to this day. She started a small label and she supports all of these independent artists. She's a true patron. But she looked at my face and she'southward like, "You look then sad." And I told her, "I don't recall nosotros're going to finish this movie. Nosotros ran out of coin." And she was like, "Tin I read the script?" And I was similar, "Yeah." I actually had 1 in the motorcar, and then she was like, "Hey, why don't you come to the office with the director?" So Justin and I become to this fancy surface area, and we're like, "Holy moly. Wow, they're so successful. They have an function on Melrose." So we went in there and she basically only handed us over a $50,000 check. She said, "I think y'all guys are going to make a great movie, and I just desire to invest in you. Whatever happens, happens." So that'due south how we got part of the financing.
In a decade or two, it'd be absurd if you and Justin paid it frontward by making another eating house worker's dreams come true.
Absolutely! Nosotros should. I promise I accept that opportunity, and I know Justin is already doing that. He's given many young filmmakers and writers opportunities. And that'south my duty from here on, equally an actor, especially if I have the success and the power to pay it forward. I have to. The younger generation is going to get older and become directors, so hopefully they can requite me opportunities because I want to act until I dice. The twenty- to 30-yr-old that we assist at present will somewhen hire me. So nosotros have to always pay that forward, which is an ethos that I believe in. And it's just as an histrion, but in every aspect of my life.
Allow's wrap on my most bones question: What's your favorite car in the Fast franchise?
It'southward the '72 Ford Bohemian from Fast 5. That'south the auto that actually connected me to Brazil and Brazilian fans because I rebuilt that car. I bought another Bohemian, and I did a full resto-mod version of it. Information technology was the first time that a film of mine inspired me to continue something that a character would take done. And then I connected with a whole customs that loves that item car. I understand it inside and out. It represents the best of Brazil, the all-time of the car community in Brazil, and information technology gave me insight into what Brazil is. And don't judge a book by its embrace considering it looks like a piece of junk. But for people who know that car, it's more important than a Ferrari considering it's part of their babyhood. It'due south part of their motorcar Dna. A Ford Maverick GT built in Brazil with the Brazilian GT center dash represented "absurd" to them when they were growing up. Only in Brazil, right? That was their Corvette, their Camaro, and information technology helped me empathize how important Fast and Furious is to the car world. That's why I take car stuff really seriously. I don't want to be an histrion in a machine flick who doesn't even know how to bulldoze. Our fans are so supportive of usa, so the to the lowest degree I can do is go and educate myself on the things that this character is doing. Plus, I love it anyway. It's a hobby of mine. So it kills two birds with one stone. I love cars, so I'll play with them all 24-hour interval.
