Will thanked Sony Pictures Entertainment chairperson Tom Rothman for sticking by him inside the TCL Chinese Theatre.

“Tom Rothman is a real life ride or die,” remarked the I Am Legend actor.

He continued, “Tom Rothman was messing with me when nobody was messing with me. That is my dude.”

Sharing his behind the scene experience, Will told the outlet, “We had all these big giant stunts and stuff, but there was a jump rope scene and I had one jump rope — not even two times around, one time around — and on the first one, I got a tear in my heel.”

“I was like, ‘We just had all these action scenes and I tore my heel doing one jump rope!’” quipped the actor.

While discussing about his new movie, Will mentioned, “This concept, the chemistry, the comedy, the action — I think the range of comedy and action, there’s very few movies that can stretch as far as ‘Bad Boys’ do.”

“It’s a rated-R comedy action and I just think people need to laugh as hard as they laugh in this movie. … People just need the joy that comes from this movie,” added the actor.
