00:00I can't believe you've been playing this character for 19 years.
00:0519 years? Crazy.
00:07Surprise.
00:08Nice clubhouse.
00:20When you were a kid and you were in Better Luck Tomorrow,
00:25did you ever think like,
00:26like, oh, I'll probably keep playing this character
00:29in one of the biggest franchises in the world?
00:32No.
00:32I thought Better Luck Tomorrow was going to be my last acting gig,
00:35so who knew, right?
00:38Seriously?
00:39That was kind of one and done?
00:40Yeah, you never know.
00:41I mean, even now, I look at every job as potentially my last job.
00:45You never know in this business, you know?
00:47So you and Justin have said, like, on record,
00:51that it's the same character,
00:53but does that mean that Better Luck Tomorrow
00:55is officially, like, a film in the Fast franchise?
01:00I don't think we can talk about that
01:02because Better Luck Tomorrow is a paramount movie
01:05and Fast is universal,
01:07so, you know,
01:09I think there's two separate IPs,
01:12so I don't know if we can actually blend the world, right?
01:14Yeah.
01:16So as far as you guys are concerned, you know.
01:19Yeah, absolutely.
01:20You have your own mythology going on.
01:22Han and I will do it, right, Han?
01:25It's all yours, man.
01:26So, like, 19 years, that's a long time.
01:29How would you say that, as, like, a movie franchise,
01:32how would you say the Fast films have changed your life?
01:34I know it's a big question.
01:36Well, it's given me a different set of shoes to walk in, definitely.
01:40You know, it's like, you know,
01:43before Han, I had no responsibility outside myself.
01:45You know, it's like now, you know,
01:48this character represents some, you know,
01:50something so positive to so many people.
01:53And then even if you break it down to, like, Asian Americans, you know,
01:58you know, it's a character that, you know,
02:02gives a lot of young kids,
02:04it's the 12-year-old version of me living in Georgia,
02:07a place at the table, you know,
02:09a place in the clubhouse, if you will, you know,
02:12definitely has changed my life in that way, you know.
02:14You know, aside from all the other stuff, you know,
02:19yeah, who knew that a character
02:21was going to give me, I guess, insight, you know.
02:24I mean, I don't know how to describe it, you know what I mean, but
02:30it's forcing me definitely to be a better person, you know,
02:33and go, I do have responsibility, you know,
02:36when I do go outside and what Han means to people,
02:41especially now.
02:42You know who you choose to be around you,
02:45but you know who you are.
02:46These films have been around for so long
02:48that they're becoming, like, increasingly self-referential,
02:51you know what I mean?
02:52They have, like, there's, like, so much to work with.
02:54Is it exciting for you when you read a new script
02:56to see the callbacks that they're going to work in?
02:59And are there any in particular that got you all jazzed?
03:02Yeah, well, anytime I see Tokyo Drift references,
03:05I get super excited.
03:07Easy to sound cocky when you got no ride.
03:10Take mine.
03:12And then within the, you know, like, you know,
03:14every, you know, film does like a, like a, like a,
03:19like a, what do you call it?
03:20Like a little homage to all the previous films, you know,
03:23and you get to see all the cars
03:25that kind of define the franchise.
03:28And F9 has lots of Tokyo Drift stuff,
03:30so that was probably dope.
03:32Great shirt, by the way.
03:33Thank you for your time.
03:34Yeah.
03:34Tyrese is making fun of me.
03:37He's thinking, yeah, I look like a Hawaiian valet.
03:40I mean, a Hawaiian hotel.
03:42Not today.
03:47We are the heroes.
03:49We are the heroes.
03:49We are the heroes.
03:49We are the heroes.
03:49We are the heroes.
03:49We are the heroes.
03:49We are the heroes.
03:50We are the heroes.
03:53We are the heroes.
03:54You
