Despite Oscars Controversy Martin Lawrence and Will Smith Are Moving Forward with “Bad Boys 4”

Projects tied to Will Smith’s name have stalled after the infamous Oscars incident between him and comedian Chris Rock.  Netflix’s Fast And Loose, which was slated to star the actor, has halted production indefinitely. And while the rest of the film industry has distanced itself from the King Richard star, Martin Lawrence is reassuring fans that Smith and Lawrence are Bad Boys for life.

Lawrence discussed during an interview with Ebony his relationship with Will Smith. During this intimate interview he was questioned on if the two would join forces once again for another Bad Boys film for the franchise. He replied with assurance that he was not only not going to cancel the project but wasn’t going to walk away from his friend and colleague. 

He said, “ We got more at least.”

Martin opened up during that interview about his past with a situation similar to Will’s when he felt the industry was almost going to give up on him. He revealed it was with the help of fellow comedian Eddie Murphy who helped with giving him his role in the 1999 comedy movie Life. 

“It was a tough time in my life at that time, and Eddie called and had Life ready for me,” revealed the comedian. “He wouldn’t do the movie with anybody else but me. So, I really love him for that.”
