Chris Tucker reveals why he never made another ‘Friday’ film
I didn’t do the second one in the franchise “because of the weed,” said Tucker, referring to his role as Smokey, the lovable, weed-smoking screw-up.
In a group interview with Flix Talk, a film and culture podcast, actor-comedian Chris Tucker at long last revealed why he didn’t continue to be featured in the Friday franchise that made him a star.
“Back then, I gotta tell you, one of the reasons why I didn’t do the second one is because of the weed,” Tucker said in a recent conversation reposted by The Shade Room.
“Because I said, ‘Man, that movie became a phenomenon. I don’t want everybody smokin’ weed.’ I never really told people this because I kinda forgot about it but it was one of the reasons why I didn’t do it. Because I said, ‘I don’t want to represent everyone smokin’ weed.’ I kinda made it more personal than a movie and that’s one of the reasons I said, ‘Nah, I don’t want to keep doing that character.’”
