Staying Grounded



Did Terrence Howard give you any advice for your huge role in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra?

Terrence is maybe one of the most brilliant, sensitive people that I've ever met in my entire life. He just has sort of a channel into that emotional river of life. It's all around him and that's all he sees. He just sees the beautiful sad or the beautiful sexy or the beautiful painful thing in everything. It's a talent. That's his God-given gift... That's what I learned. He kind of keeps me grounded in that way. He always preaches that to me. He's like, "You just stay you. Don't let a big movie make you skim across the surface of something. Always go down into the belly of it. Don't ever lie to yourself." I have a lot of people slapping me in the back of the head saying, "Hey! Don't you believe the hype! The hype's bull s**t."
