We spoke w/ OsheaJacksonJr and Alden Ehrenreich about CocaineBear and all of those 'gnarly' kills.
Elizabeth Banks’s star-studded dark comedy, Cocaine Bear, is fast approaching. Since it was first announced, the buzz for Pablo Escobear’s big-screen debut has been nonstop. Not only is the premise pretty far out there and something new for audiences to sink their teeth into, but it also boasts a pretty phenomenal cast. The movie stars Keri Russell, Isiah Whitlock Jr., Margo Martindale, Matthew Rhys, Kristofer Hivju, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Alden Ehrenreich, and the late, Ray Liotta.
COLLIDER: Congrats on the movie. I laughed a lot. But I am curious, for both of you, are you surprised a little bit that you got cast? Because I heard you had to be in The Americans, the TV show, to get into this.O’SHEA JACKSON JR.: No, I knew from the jump once I got the call from Elizabeth [Banks]. It's because I put out a tweet when they announced that she got the rights to Cocaine Bear.
I've never been a part of something that wasn't already a thing that people knew about like a year and a half ago. People would be like, “Oh yeah, I've heard about Cocaine Bear,” because you hear the title, it's so weird. Then the movie really lives up to that fun, zany kind of audacious adventure that it is.
JACKSON JR.: Funny story, the wrap gift that he gives you is actually a bobblehead of him saying “Sheeeit.”JACKSON JR.: It's all right, bro. It's a Black thing. But yeah, he loved it. He was such a great dude. Utmost professional.JACKSON JR.: He gave this speech when he wrapped that was just like–JACKSON JR.: Yeah, like the whole time we're just like, “Damn, I'll never be an actor like Isiah Whitlock. He's just the dopest dude, man. I can't wait to see him again.
It's terrible that we won't be able to, you know, party with him at the premiere, or those types of things, but we are honored that we get to be in one of his last works, and we know that he would have been thrilled with how crazy our movie turned out. Then, Den of Thieves 2, we’re getting ready to go. They got me training and on my regimen every day. I told them that after this one, after how much they're kicking my ass, “I'm going straight to animation, baby. Nothing but video games and cartoons for about half a decade. Kiss my ass.”
