Oh, so tight!
We'll go around to classes and activities, ask around about the drug, find out who the
dealer is.
So first of all, congratulations. I saw the film last night, and it was really, really
funny. Obviously, the best part is your relationship with Channing. I don't want to call it a bromance
because I'm bored of that word. How would you describe it?
It's a silly term. I don't know. I think it's just a movie about these guys who are partners.
They're police partners, and they're friends. It's kind of what happens when you move on
to university from high school, but as adults. I think a lot of times when you go to university
with your best friend or your girlfriend or something or your boyfriend, the world opens
up and all of a sudden, there's all these new people and all these new things in the
world. I think one of them wants to kind of stay, keep the relationship as it is, my character,
and he wants to kind of explore what else is out there.
You don't have to do this man. I just don't want you to get hurt.
I'm not going to get hurt.
Oh! I broke my ass.
What I think makes it so much fun to watch is it actually just looks like two friends,
like sometimes it's not like you're even acting. Can you maybe tell me something about shooting
it that might surprise me or your fans?
It is very fun to shoot. It's a very funny movie. There's a lot of big action. There's
way bigger action in this film, so we had to do a lot of stunts and crazy action stuff.
What for you was maybe the biggest challenge in this one?
The biggest challenge? I think the biggest challenge is making a sequel that's as funny
and good as the original. You know, we kind of make fun of ourselves for that, that sequels
are always worse and more expensive than the first ones. These movies are really self aware,
the Jump Street movies, and I think that's why they work on a lot of levels.
We Jump Street, and we about to jump in yo ass.
Right in the crack.
And obviously, you both go back to college, university, and you go completely different
directions. He's a jock, and you're like the arty intelligent guy. Can we maybe come up
with top three tips for going to uni for young people?
Top three tips. I don't know. I really spent a short time in university, so...
I don't know. Do you have any?
Um for me, it would mainly be hangover tips. I mean, it's like drink liquids.
Pretty much. Just drink a lot of water before you go to bed.
Yeah, and when I Google you two, the first thing that comes up is that you made some
sort of controversial bet. Is that true?
It's like a joke, yeah. It's a joke from when the first movie was coming out. We made some
dumb joke, and then Channing talked about it in an interview and then all of a sudden
it's all over the internet. It's just a silly joke, but hopefully he doesn't make me collect.
