Tyrese Says He’s Never Watched One Of His Most Famous Films

The actor/singer recently sat down for an interview with ‘Big Boy’s Neighborhood.’

Tyrese is raising some eyebrows with a recent admission he made.

During an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, the actor and R&B singer revealed he’s never watched the first Fast & Furious movie – the same one that kicked off the billion-dollar franchise over two decades ago.

“I’ve never seen part one to this day,” Tyrese admitted to listeners. “And that’s no disrespect. So what happened was, and I’ma tell you why, because John Singleton gave me that advice. So fast forward, Baby Boy happens, Vin [Diesel] and the studio at the time got heavy in negotiations and they could not make a deal for Vin and the director to come back and do part two.

“So then that’s when the opportunity for me to slide in and do 2 Fast 2 Furious opposite Paul Walker presented itself. And I’m not gon’ mention what they were negotiating, but it was a real number,” he continued. “[Vin] went from that number trying to get to that number and the studio and him just fell apart and then the opportunity for me to slide into that happened.”
