“Before we started shooting, she could tell I was nervous even touching her hand. So Puff Facetimed me and said play boy I’m going to be more upset if the movie is wack than I will if you touch her.”

On producing his first film and being the leading man:

“This is my first time being a Producer so I just thank Queen Latifah and Flavor Unit for letting me be apart. I’m excited they gave me a chance. When you see the trailer, it’s a completely different character, it’s a completely different story. I think people will be surprised.”

The Perfect Match hits theaters Friday, March 11th.
