The Stars of 'Faster' Dish on Fast Cars, Country Music and Family
ET |
ET's Samantha Harris sat down with 'Faster''s Dwayne Johnson and Billy Bob Thornton and got them to reveal some striking similarities between the two actors.
'Faster' is about Driver (Dwayne) an ex-con who goes on a rampage, searching for those responsible for his brother's murder. Meanwhile, a seasoned police officer (Billy Bob) attempts to apprehend Driver and stop the bloodshed.
After 'Tooth Fairy,' Dwayne told Samantha that he was ready to get back into the action genre, especially with the excuse it gave him to spend more time working out.
"That was a fun part about this, by the way - to train like that," said Dwayne. "You know, that I was able to get in the gym and train like a maniac."
The stars of the movie revealed that although they play enemies on-camera, off-camera Dwayne and Billy Bob were able to bond through a shared interest - music.
"Billy Bob's such a great guy," Dwayne said. "[He's] very, very talented -- not only as an actor, producer, director, writer -- but also musician."
"We talked about music quite a bit," said Billy Bob. "Dwayne's a big country fan which is really cool."
Samantha wondered how a macho guy like Dwayne spends Thanksgiving.
"What a wonderful, important time for us -- like all families -- to give thanks," said the former pro wrestler. "But, you know, it's interesting as your children get a little older and as we all start to get a little older we just start to really appreciate moments."
'Faster' races into theaters November 24.
