Being quiet and sitting on your hands has never changed anything...... As am man I sleep good at night cause I live and speak in my truth...... We put it all on the line everyday to do these movies on this scale...... One of my rituals before getting put up in a harness or driving or running through explosions is to come to set early and PRAY!!!!!!! In success #Fast9 is under so much more pressure to do it and get it right...... See you it’s in #2020 | Tyrese Gibson
