- Oh, first wild fan experience?
I wanna hear yours.
- I guess the first really wild fan
experience was at Cannes.
We were in Cannes for Pulp Fiction,
and we were going to the party after the movie,
and these people jumped on the car,
cause they were trying to get John Travolta
outta the car and the limo was rocking, like that.
And I had my best friend from high school with me, Clark.
Stacey Sher was in the car with them,
and we were fighting our way through the crowd
to get them and Stacey was trying to get out the car
and these guys grabbed her and Carla Hacken,
and me and Clark just started knocking people out.
(laughs)
He started punching people to get through the crowd
to get to the party.
- That's crazy. - It was insane.
- First funny memory that comes to mind
when you thinking of the Shaft set?
Does that mean the current Shaft set?
Or the first Shaft set that I was on?
- [Woman] Current
- The current Shaft set.
- Meeting you when I walked in
and you were leaning on the thing
and you said 'I'm so glad you got this job
cause I was so sick on Latonya saying your name.
- That's true, she did talk you up.
- Yes she did.
- First funny memory that --
- Latonya Jackson - that comes to mind when
thinking of the Shaft set was?
Why are we shootin' in this place when
we could've just --
(laughter)
as easily done this in New York.
- Wasn't it cold in New York?
- It was cold in Atlanta.
- It was, it was rainy, and it was cold.
- Yeah.
- First celebrity crush?
Now is this celebrity crush when you became a celebrity,
or is this a celebrity when you were just little?
- You can't be talking about folk you was
crushing on when you got here.
- Right.
- Barbara Stanwyck.
- Prince.
- Prince? He ain't no celebrity.
(laughter)
He a star!
He bigger than celebrity.
- Baby I'm a star.
- Bigger than a celebrity.
- First thing you tell yourself when you
feel like giving up?
(laughter)
- Who the (bleep) feels like that?
You felt like that?
- No.
- Throw that (bleep) away.
(laughter)
Finish this sentence: I want to be the first
person in Hollywood to...
- To do something first with Sam Jackson.
Wanna be your first at something.
- Get the (bleep) outta here.
I've still haven't done a RomCom.
- Oh I'm gonna be the first to do a
RomCom with Sam.
Awe,there it is.
- All right.
First time you bombed an audition?
- (bleep) there's too many.
First audition I bombed.
- Really?
- Yeah
- What were you auditioning for?
- It was a movie that never got made.
Maybe it was me, I don't know,
but like --
- It was your fault the movie never got made?
- I think so.
They were resting all their hope on this
undiscovered and talent right here --
- And they never discovered one?
(laughter)
So they never made the movie?
- Heck no, they didn't probably get any money.
- Well I know I went to an audition I didn't bomb,
but the people I was auditioning with sucked!
- Oh you mean the group?
- They were horrible.
No and it was the Director and the Producer.
Reservoir Dogs I read with Quentin Tarantino
and Lawrence Bender, the Producer.
- Mmhmm.
- They sucked!
- They did?
- I couldn't believe how horrible they were,
and I didn't realize who they were
until I finally saw the movie later,
but I was in that audition going what the (bleep),
these dudes are horrible.
And then, you know, I finally saw the movie
at Sundance and there they were,
and I was like --
- Did you tell --
- You all were those dudes, and I was like --
- Well they must've thought you were good.
- Well he did, and then he said to me
how do you like the dude who got your part?
Cause he remembered me auditioning.
- So did he say why you didn't get it?
- No he didn't say I didn't get it, but --
- He made up for it though.
I bet he made up for it. - He wished I'd been in it.
I told him the movie would've been better with me in it.
- Hey guys, we just finished doing our First Times
for Buzzfeed so now...
- Come see Shaft.
- In theaters..
- Crap, this weekend.
Bye bye camera.
- Bye.
