Did you know before Martin Lawrence and Will Smith starred in Bad Boys, the roles were supposed to go to Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz. Well, you know the rest. They Saturday Night Live dup turned it down, and the Bad Boys became a huge success launching both their careers into superstardom.
The other night at the premiere of Bad Boys for Life, Smith was finally able to do something he was wanted to do for 25 years and that is to thank Lovitz for turning down the role. Although, the comedian says that he said yes to the part. Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket.
You have to give both men credit. The Critic for having the balls to show up to a movie premiere for a role that he was really stupid to turn down. The Fresh Prince for realizing this is someone whom he owes his career to and thanking him for it.
I wonder if Lovitz and Carvey had said yes if there would have been a sequel for the movie 25 years after it came out.
BTW Michael Bay was also not attached to the film in its original incarnation. What a difference some changes can make.
Bad Boys 3 and Coming to America 2 are both filming on the same lot, and both casts met up for this epic photo. Imagine the movie all of these actors could make together!
Seriously could you get a funnier cast than Eddie Murphy, Tracy Morgan, Will Smith, Martin Lawrence and Wesley Snipes? It would be the Avengers movie of comedy. Tyler Perry, since this is at your studios, make it happen!
It has been almost 25 years since we got to know the Bad Boys. 16 years since we have seen Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as Lowrey and Burnett. On January 17th, they will reprise their roles one final time. Now that they are both in their 50’s, they will not be able to do those Michael Bay stunts for much longer.
Therefore, make sure to enjoy every minute of Bad Boys for Life like it is its last minutes because it is. After watching the trailer for the film, that looks like it will be something very easy to do.
Before Don Cheadle was a hotel manager on Golden Palace, he was in 10th grade for the 3rd time on Fresh Prince of Bel Air. He looks the same now as he did when he was 25 in that 1990 episode.
To hear what he told Conon O’Brien how green Will Smith was on the show’s second episode, then click here!
Ellen DeGeneres thought it would be fun to play a new game with Will Smith called Rub My Lamp in honor of him playing the Genie in the live-action version of Alladin.
It already sounds pretty sexually explicit, right? Imagine how much worse it gets when they place a huge padded genie lamp over his crotch and tell everyone to rub it. Especially when it looks like it already has been rubbed, rubbed really good! It is up and ready to release the genie.
Can you believe this is airing during the daytime because it looks like something that would be on Skinemax?
UPDATE: Will Smith is afraid of mice, and Ellen wanted to help him get over his fear. To see how it worked out, then click here!
