We grew up being told that there was no such thing as a stupid question, but apparently there is. Well at least according to Ludacris when it comes to the Fast & Furious movies.
When speaking to the All that Smoke podcast, Ludacris was really blunt about what he considers to be the “dumbest question” surrounding his involvement in the franchise.
“I hear people say all the time ‘why do y’all keep doing these movies?’ That’s the dumbest fucking question in the world I’m gonna tell you why. Because no matter what industry we in, podcasts, music, movies, it’s all about a bottom line. It’s about how much you spend compared to how much you make. We’re making billions of fucking dollars, and I’m just giving you my heart I’m not trying to brag or nothing.” he said.
He continued, “When some of y’all keep saying, ‘why do y’all keep shooting these movies?’ Let me tell you why. Because if you spend 200 million and you make a billion, who the fuck is you gonna tell to stop shooting movies when you’re making 800 million dollars? How? Even if you don’t like it, stop asking that God damn question.”
Whereas we can understand Ludacris’s frustration, don’t think it’s fair to call it a dumb question. No ones in your pocketbook Ludacris. We don’t know your cut. We just know in Hollywood, a lot of people leave franchises.
So what you may consider a “dumb” question, a lot of people consider a reasonable one.
