Rush Hour was my childhood comfort movie. No matter how many times i've seen it, it always brings the laugh. Thank you Chris and Jackie for making our childhood better.
@dr.Revenue you are joking right? Rush Hour is wonderful but isn't even close to being the original Buddy Cop movie lol. The genre was mainly created by Beverly Hills Cop in the 80's, and became a firmly established franchise in the early 90's due to the Lethal Weapon movies. Rush Hour was just taking on a proven formula, and did so in a unique and fun way--but it sure isn't the original buddy cop movie that started them all lol
No one has made me laugh like Chris Tucker in the Rush Hour Movies. Rush Hour 2, in particular, is such a comfort film for me that I watch it multiple times every year.
Rush Hour 2 is easily one of my Top 5 movies of all time. It's 10000% a comfort film for me. I had it nonstop playing in the background and it made me laugh no matter how many times I watched it.
It's incredible that Chris Tucker has only done a handful of movies and each performance has been so iconic! I grew up on Friday, Money Talks, Fifth Element, that was my childhood. He has more iconic roles than actors who have done 10x as many movies
I'm glad they went with Chris Tucker for Ruby Rhod, he brought that character to life in a way no one else could have - not even Prince! He absolutely brought his own energy into that character! Brilliant!
Ruby Rhod is one of my favourite characters of all time. As much of a Prince fan as I am, the role would have somehow been much less memorable than Tucker's performance.
I personally feel that even with the amazing visual effects and highly fascinating sci-fi epics we get today- nothing will be able to touch the great nostalgia, visual splendor and great script writing, production that is The Fifth Element. Two other great science fiction films, in my opinion are Valerian and the City of A Thousand Planets and also Avatar. Avatar is a bit overrated, but the first one (having been released in 2009) I thought was also a bit ahead of its time. Shortly after, we got Tron Legacy as well. That was super awesome to see in theaters!
I know some people think Ruby Rhod is too much, but that whole movie is so far over-the-top that the role needed that energy as to not get lost in the FX, action set pieces, and bizarre fashion. I loved what Tucker did.
Ruby Rhod was a big step out of a lot of actors comfort zones, but I'm super glad he did that role, because fifth element is still one of my favorite sci-fi flicks to this day. Really animated, really off the wall, and incredibly memorable. Rush hours were a stellar set of movies, love the friday series, Tucker rocks in anything you drop him in!
I think he owned the character in Fifth Element and I wish more casting directors took a risk on him. He could really give the energy back in the day. Even as a voice actor, he could've been something.
Living here in Atlanta we run into celebs all the time. Ran into Chris playing golf at Stone Mountain while I was doing an event there. We told him he didn't have to take pictures but the man insisted and shook everyone's hands, despite the amount of people that were at the event. VERY stand up and kind man, he seemed excited to talk to us (even though I could tell it was somewhat exhausting). Good guy, made me like him even more!
@@karthikajay3091Jackie Chan is too busy sucking off the ccp back in the Mainland. He's literally been a Chinese government employee for like... 5 years now?
Money Talks is my favorite all time. Its as if he was ad-libbing. Just natural. Though Ruby Rhod is an absolute gem. I cant see anyone else hitting that role. Chris played it flawlessly.
Fifth element absolutely needed Chris it was the unhinged beginning middle and end of the movie. His character being self centered and completely superficial at first look but ended up being a big part in the ending to save humanity. We are all human and we all have that part of us capable of being a hero 😊
This guy is truly a legend. I would say he is the luckiest person in some ways. He was lucky enough to hang out with people like Michael Jackson, Prince, Tupac, Jackie Chan...WE NEED MORE MOVIES MAN!!!
Chris Tucker is one of those actors you want to meet and speak too. Will forever appreciate his impact on me as a kid growing up. Plus the amount of great actors and directors he’s worked with, he and his team are Great at picking roles.
Ran into him in Atlanta randomly and when I tell you he’s the nicest person! He knew I wanted a picture but I didn’t want to say and he insisted that I get a few. So nice!
How is he unappreciated. He has been appreciated and smashed out some classics. if you were born after 2000 then you probably didnt get the chance to APPRECIATE him! hate seing these comments . "unappreciated"
By far Ruby Rhod is one of the most iconic and unforgettable characters in movie history. The Fifth Element has it all, comedy, drama, action and suspension!
Money Talks. Is definitely one of the best I grew up with this movie when it came out, my father who has since passed away loved this movie and we watched it many many times and had our laughs. If you haven't seen this movie. Check it out
Almost all of my top favorite movies have Chris tucker: Friday, Money Talks, and Rush Hour trilogy only movie that’s up there that doesn’t have him is Life
dead presidents is “overlooked” because the movie had too many plot holes, and felt rushed. it’s good but i wish it was 3 hours, Chris was the best part tho.
I don't know if people realize that Chris Tucker knows everyone. Look at the cast that he has dealt with along with the details in these stories he is telling.... LEGEND!!!!
So glad that GQ is giving this man a *_WELL-DESERVED_* spotlight! _Friday_ will always be my most favorite movie of all time because of how iconic he made Smokey as a character. Not to mention the *hilarious* _Rush Hour_ trilogy blooper reels!
Most actor comedians can only dream of having a career like Chris has had. His movies never get old for me no matter how many times I've seen it and can recite every one of his lines. His movies are more watchable today and most of today's movies, absolutely love them.
So cool to hear the positivity and passion he has for his craft. Also really cool to know that he looks back on The Fifth Element as a neat chance to do something different as that's certainly a role that stands out in so many peoples' minds.
Rush Hour is my childhood movie, my father always told me that i'll never regret it. now im 24 years old and still watching it with my wife. i can't wait to tell my children for the next decade . what a masterpiece and legends
I have never recognized a character of his as Chris Tucker. Smokey isn't the same guy as Carter and neither of those two fools is Roo-bee-ROD. Chris is an outstanding actor that fills these roles with an amazing and rare talent.
@@kimnorth7060 yeah I honestly liked the 1st the best but the 2nd was right there with the 1st. But I honestly didn’t think the 3rd was that bad. Especially considering a lot these other 2nd and 3rd made movies in comparison. So I just put trilogy. But I get you.
He deserved a best supporting actor Oscar for the Fifth Element. Ruby Rod is an incredibly memorable character, and he really is so essential to the humour of the movie.
Out of all these, his role as Ruby in the 5th element I loved the most. Mainly because it was so out of pocket for a guy like him, but he fit it like a glove. Overall have no hate for anything Chris has done. Total talent and underrated comedian.
Rush Hour, in my opinion, is one of the greatest comedy trilogies of all-time. So many of those scenes could never be made in today's political climate but man those films are certified classics! Chris and Jackie's on-screen chemistry was amazing!
It also had some of the most iconic bloopers ever. Showing bloopers at the end of movies was something Jackie always did in his Hong Kong movies and I'm glad he carried it over to his Hollywood films too.
We had a great comeback season of 90s actors with Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan. I hope Chris has a come back. Let’s bring back some of our 90s men and women
No one is touching on the fact that he has worked with so many legends. Duncan, Jackson, Tarantino, Affleck, Jordan, Sheen, Witherspoon, Lister, Cube, Willis, Chan, the list goes on and on he is a living legend and will be remembered as one.
Such a hughly underrated performer, Ruby Rhod is a true Iconic performance of complete genius. Tucker spends at least half of the time here telling us how great the people he's worked with are, rather then just taking the credit, shows how rare a person he is, on and off screen.
Ruby was the bravest person in that movie..... he was not a trained killer, he had no offensive or defensive abilities at all. Yet, surrounded by gunfire and death, on his stomach crawling through rubble, he comments "I'm going to see if I can get a little closer"… Yes he still screams, he still acts like Ruby.... but that moment showed what he really was. Real journalist.
I love this man's range of voice tones. And each tone of voice fits that character perfectly. Alot of actors do an ancient, which changes their voice completely and doesn't sound like them as person. He still sounds like himself, but the Tone and dialect are different, which brings the character to life. Very talented.
Every movie Tucker is in, it's impossible not to laugh. He's such a great comedy actor. Rush Hour trilogy is the greatest COMEDY FILM SERIES of all-time, i bought them in Blu-ray, i can watch them everyday. As he said, the chemistry between him and Lee is one of a kind, on top of my head, i cannot think of another duo who are as great as they are.
I needed this today. This interview filled a hole that I did not know was missing. I am so glad to see Chris back on screen. I was 3 in ‘98 and I absolutely loved Rush Hour. For MJ to be in a many of Chris’s generations childhood memories, Chris is the same for my generation.
Chris tucker is my childhood legend. He made me laugh and forget about what was going on around me. He played in so many movies and was his authentic self. After watch this it made me even miss how he has been on the big screen. Happy he got a role in AIR. Hopefully people appreciate him as a movie actor because there were only a few to do what he has done
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, for me Tucker and Chan as two main leading male costars in the Rush Hour trilogy will always be the best of them all. So many happy memories I have of watching them again and again and they never disappoint.
Such a humble guy. He spent the entire interview giving praise to his peers who helped him on the way up and barely spoke about himself. He has delivered so many laughs over the years.
this man has the biggest piece of my heart, Chris Tucker is just different. His personality, his comedy his energy is so contagious. I know every word to Friday and pretty much every word to Rush Hour 3. My comfort movies for life!
I watched Fifth Element more than 1000 times with my whole family, one of my favorite movies forever. And r hour with Jackie too. Chris Tucker was always beloved actor who warmed our hearts through this films. I wish him every happiness and hope to see him more
What a legend, so humble and appreciative in this interview! Came to a realisation that he worked with so many people that are now not with us today, RIP to all 🙏🌟
Love that bit about Chris Tucker giving praise to Charlie Sheen for insisting that Chris be first on the bill for Money Talks. Everyone knows the drama and memes of Charlie Sheen but that humanizes these "larger than life" characters we see on our TV's. Cool story. Those bits of behind of the scenes are my favorite part of these iconic character breakdowns.
Definitely made my childhood as a 90s baby. My dad showed me Rush Hour and brought me to the theater to see Rush Hour 2 as a kid and I swear I remember it like it was yesterday. Im 27 today. There will NEVER be another Chris Tucker.
I watched the Rush Hour movies a decent bit with my dad and brother when I was young. And like Chris mentions in the video, he had absolutely stellar chemistry with Jackie Chan; you definitely saw it in the bloopers. Chris definitely gives off genuine vibes, he's a severely underrated actor.
Man I miss Chris Tucker so much!! I can't say I've seen a good comedy in a while. I wish so badly he'd come back & star in a new comedy film cuz I know he'd make it incredible!
The 5th element was Chris Tucker’s masterpiece in my opinion. He was absolutely on level with Bruce Willis in that movie.. it wouldn’t have been the same without Chris.. bravo, artiste! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Chris Tucker was the perfect casting for the Rush Hour movies, his mannerisms and chemistry with Jackie Chan worked so well that I can't really imagine anyone else as Carter.
I had the VHS tapes for Fifth Element and Rush Hour and I've watched them so much during my high school years that I'm surprised they still play at all. Had a rough childhood and those movies always put me back in a better place, there were periods where I'd watch them every week. He was a perfect fit for those roles.
When I had my twins in 2022 there was a marathon of all the rush hour movies, and it is the reason I named my son Karter. I kept hearing “Karter, Karter” and didn’t know I was having twins until delivery, when the nurse asked me what I wanted to name my son I said “KARTER” they both passed away after being born. But it’s hard to watch these movies now, but it also brings me peace. I was having terrible contractions but didn’t pause to laugh at Chris Tucker. So it’s a memory that will always be with me and make me smile and cry.
Nice to see one of the most liked actors onscreen is equally as charismatic, humble and genuine off screen. Would like to see Chris in more stuff today.
chris tucker was so incredible to me on screen. he played EVERY character so differently, but was so perfect in each role.. hard to explain but my goodness what an actor! money talks and fifth element were my faves. obviously loved friday but hated how the studio did em..
It show that the entertainment industry is a joke.Everyone point fingers at Ice cube, But the production team was on some bs,Ice cube was ready to make the movie
Rush Hour was my childhood comfort movie. No matter how many times i've seen it, it always brings the laugh. Thank you Chris and Jackie for making our childhood better.
same here, I love Chris and Jackie's Chemistry, both of them make me laugh all the time
The OG buddy cop film that set the tone for many to come. Such a brilliantly written movie!

His Netflix stand-up is also something I was at least twice a year hahahaha he is simply too good.
Me too I can recite both one and two word for word how many times I’ve watched it. My girlfriend hates the movie cause I put it on so much 💀
Rush Hour 2 is just golden! I love everything about it!

Least talked about part but always my favorite.
He got an energy about his characters
I’m glad he talked about 5th element. The minute his character is introduced in the movie, he was part of the main plot and he was so fun and lovable.
He stole the movie imo
@@Red_Rebel suprisingly everybody stole that movie, every character was memorable. But yeah wouldn’t be 5th element without ruby.
My favorite movie 🎬❤ on this plant 🎉
now i’m trying to imagine what it would’ve been like if prince actually did it, can’t imagine it not being chris tucker
That movie is a classic. Chris was memorable crazy, but also Bruce, Milla and Garry.
Chris Tucker is such a memorable actor, and I love the way he talks so gratefully and respectfully about his costars. Really a humble likeable guy.
he skipped talking about bruce willis 🤣
he also went to e*sien island
@@NorthWestPvPlolrektnoob thank you. He is one of them for sure

A big thanks to Prince for giving in his role to Chris. Chris did it all & I still love that movie. ❤
The Fifth Element is fantastic.
Its such a shame we didn't get to see more of him in his prime. Such a talented guy. He steals every scene he's in.
He could still be in his prime! Man is intelligent and a great actor. Hope to get more of the wisened version of him
did you really have to use the world steal?
He was friends with epstein. That epstein. Look it up.
Steal is a good word, he definitely commanded his screen time when he had it.
I think he gave us quality over quantity. Everything he did was great!
Chris Tucker is a core memory of our childhood along with all the greats

It also had some of the most iconic bloopers ever. Showing bloopers at the end of movies was something Jackie always did in his Hong Kong movies and I'm glad he carried it over to his Hollywood films too.
Rush Hour 1 2 & 3 are all great comedies that won’t happen again
He always paid tribute to Michael Jackson wherever he could, even though Michael has passed. A true friend.
Fifth element is movie I can rewatch over and over again. Love this movie
We had a great comeback season of 90s actors with Brendan Fraser and Ke Huy Quan. I hope Chris has a come back. Let’s bring back some of our 90s men and women
going to epsten islan was a comeback fr
Next year Cameron Diaz she is coming back with a new movie with Jamie Foxx and also Christopher Walken in Dune part 2
Just wait for the Air Jordan movie. He nailed his role in that. The energy he brings
I hope not, Chris Tucker likes to take flights with Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey to Jeffery Epstein's Pedo Island
Rush Hour 4 is confirmed
No one is touching on the fact that he has worked with so many legends. Duncan, Jackson, Tarantino, Affleck, Jordan, Sheen, Witherspoon, Lister, Cube, Willis, Chan, the list goes on and on he is a living legend and will be remembered as one.
He also worked with minors on Epsteins island don’t forget😉
Bernie mac
He even worked with Oldman.
Jeffrey Epstein
@@TimothyPossible 😂
One thing i love about Rush Hour is their Chemistry. They we're like meant to be the duo,even their bloopers like they have a total blast together.
Me too.
I love Prince, but the part of Ruby in the fifth element, was made for Chris!! That's my favorite movie and I think he did an amazing job as Ruby! 😄😄
Such a hughly underrated performer, Ruby Rhod is a true Iconic performance of complete genius. Tucker spends at least half of the time here telling us how great the people he's worked with are, rather then just taking the credit, shows how rare a person he is, on and off screen.
Chris is truely a legend. He’s never had a bad role.
@ButterBean oh my lol, was he even on the guest list?
@butterbean2257 countless people went there, it hosted parties for celebs ... any evidence he did something nefarious ?
... except for being friends with bill Clinton, Epstein, and Kevin Spacey...when they would visit Epstein's island.
The 5th element was such an amazing movie. Sci-fi movies can't touch its greatness, and Chris Tucker was iconic in it
His voice is so iconic, no actor has ever sounded anything like him.
Chris Rock
Eddie Murphy
Kevin heart
@@deeem2628 naw
@@deeem2628 Bro you actually posted this and thought this made sense?
@@deeem2628 not really.. its voice not accent or tone
@@deeem2628 all of those examples has distinct voices.
Money Talks is really a hidden gem
GEMMMMMMMMMMM
Was my childhood movie and just finished watching it. One of the best comedies
Really should have won an Oscar for comedy…..
frfr favorite movie after Friday 😂
He wasn’t scared of going to jail, he wanted to see all of his friends! 😅
Chris Tucker is one of the most funniest and genuine actors period. Loved him in every rush hour movie too 😂
Ruby was the bravest person in that movie..... he was not a trained killer, he had no offensive or defensive abilities at all. Yet, surrounded by gunfire and death, on his stomach crawling through rubble, he comments "I'm going to see if I can get a little closer"… Yes he still screams, he still acts like Ruby.... but that moment showed what he really was. Real journalist.
Ruby Rhod was and still is a staple of comedic acting. The Fifth Element will always remain a cinematic gem.
I've seen 5th element so many times and it's still and always will be gold. His character in the movie is absolutely spot on crazy funny.
I love this man's range of voice tones.
And each tone of voice fits that character perfectly.
Alot of actors do an ancient, which changes their voice completely and doesn't sound like them as person.
He still sounds like himself, but the Tone and dialect are different, which brings the character to life.
Very talented.
Hi pretty lady how are you doing ♥️
Chris has hit that age where he's mellowed out a bit and is doing some really interesting character stuff. I love it
Chris Tucker is a living legend himself. Money Talks is one of my favorite movies, I know all
his parts! 😩😂 I love to see him getting his flowers! 🥰🤩💐
His role in "Dead Presidents" was a highly underrated role. He probably had the biggest character arc in that whole movie and nailed it 👍
I Agree.
A lot of his roles were underrated like Ruby Rhod in Fifth Element. He should have won an oscar.
@@adamxiong1817 I agree.............but don't tell Katt Williams that. He "wore a dress"😂😂😂😂
Every movie Tucker is in, it's impossible not to laugh. He's such a great comedy actor. Rush Hour trilogy is the greatest COMEDY FILM SERIES of all-time, i bought them in Blu-ray, i can watch them everyday. As he said, the chemistry between him and Lee is one of a kind, on top of my head, i cannot think of another duo who are as great as they are.
I love The Fifth Element and Ruby Rhod. I never stopped laughing while he was onscreen. One of the best movies ever.
I needed this today. This interview filled a hole that I did not know was missing. I am so glad to see Chris back on screen. I was 3 in ‘98 and I absolutely loved Rush Hour. For MJ to be in a many of Chris’s generations childhood memories, Chris is the same for my generation.
It was dope seeing MJ and Chris was so close.
I feel you. Chris seems like a genuine soul, good vibes.
I love chris trucker he so funny
Chris tucker is my childhood legend. He made me laugh and forget about what was going on around me. He played in so many movies and was his authentic self. After watch this it made me even miss how he has been on the big screen. Happy he got a role in AIR. Hopefully people appreciate him as a movie actor because there were only a few to do what he has done
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, for me Tucker and Chan as two main leading male costars in the Rush Hour trilogy will always be the best of them all. So many happy memories I have of watching them again and again and they never disappoint.
Such a humble guy. He spent the entire interview giving praise to his peers who helped him on the way up and barely spoke about himself. He has delivered so many laughs over the years.
this man has the biggest piece of my heart, Chris Tucker is just different. His personality, his comedy his energy is so contagious. I know every word to Friday and pretty much every word to Rush Hour 3. My comfort movies for life!
Samee
I can read out the movie script in Friday 😅
I watched Fifth Element more than 1000 times with my whole family, one of my favorite movies forever. And r hour with Jackie too. Chris Tucker was always beloved actor who warmed our hearts through this films. I wish him every happiness and hope to see him more
More than a thousand times? Youve watched it 3-4 times a month since its release without break?
@@nickyp1435must watch it weekly if so 😮😮😮😮😮😮
What a legend, so humble and appreciative in this interview! Came to a realisation that he worked with so many people that are now not with us today, RIP to all 🙏🌟
i miss him , i'm glad he is staying sober and taking care of himself now
Love that bit about Chris Tucker giving praise to Charlie Sheen for insisting that Chris be first on the bill for Money Talks. Everyone knows the drama and memes of Charlie Sheen but that humanizes these "larger than life" characters we see on our TV's. Cool story. Those bits of behind of the scenes are my favorite part of these iconic character breakdowns.
“How did I- why did I do that?” 😂😂
Chris Tucker is an absolute GEM! I’m proud of him for staying true to himself and always enjoy his characters. 💜✨

lmao 5th element classic
Definitely made my childhood as a 90s baby. My dad showed me Rush Hour and brought me to the theater to see Rush Hour 2 as a kid and I swear I remember it like it was yesterday. Im 27 today. There will NEVER be another Chris Tucker.
His acting in Fifth Element deserved awards
It's absolutely amazing how humble he is, especially when you consider how much of an absolute legend he is.
I feel like Chris’s career should’ve definitely been bigger but he’s very essential to us!! Love every movie he’s in 😌🔥😊
he didn't want it. He left fame
@@2sallads no, he refused to do anymore films that were not in line with his beliefs and he also stopped using curse words.
@@aribrahim1898
Did he find Jesus?
@@aribrahim1898 Prior to that he was sick of the limelight.
Do you see Chris he looks great self care took a stepback or else he would've been overworked and stressed
I watched the Rush Hour movies a decent bit with my dad and brother when I was young. And like Chris mentions in the video, he had absolutely stellar chemistry with Jackie Chan; you definitely saw it in the bloopers. Chris definitely gives off genuine vibes, he's a severely underrated actor.
Man I miss Chris Tucker so much!! I can't say I've seen a good comedy in a while. I wish so badly he'd come back & star in a new comedy film cuz I know he'd make it incredible!
Isn't Rush Hour 4 in the works?
Chris Tucker is one of the few people that I want to see more of in any capacity whether its movies or stand-up. One of the all time greats!
The 5th element was Chris Tucker’s masterpiece in my opinion. He was absolutely on level with Bruce Willis in that movie.. it wouldn’t have been the same without Chris.. bravo, artiste! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
plus the way he played off Willis very dry energy was a really good counterbalance
He played so out of the usual character that it was amazing to see. Especially now after Bruce’s diagnosis
Chris Tucker is such a talent. I adore him so much.
Chris Tucker was the perfect casting for the Rush Hour movies, his mannerisms and chemistry with Jackie Chan worked so well that I can't really imagine anyone else as Carter.
I had the VHS tapes for Fifth Element and Rush Hour and I've watched them so much during my high school years that I'm surprised they still play at all.
Had a rough childhood and those movies always put me back in a better place, there were periods where I'd watch them every week. He was a perfect fit for those roles.
When I had my twins in 2022 there was a marathon of all the rush hour movies, and it is the reason I named my son Karter. I kept hearing “Karter, Karter” and didn’t know I was having twins until delivery, when the nurse asked me what I wanted to name my son I said “KARTER” they both passed away after being born. But it’s hard to watch these movies now, but it also brings me peace. I was having terrible contractions but didn’t pause to laugh at Chris Tucker. So it’s a memory that will always be with me and make me smile and cry.
Chris is an absolute gem, man... wish he'd come back for another Rush Hour
It's happening.
Chris tucker was also traveling with Epstein all these years! Still on top!
We need him to take out the Friday series with a bang.
He is 😎
@@ZONES89RS Too many people have passed for that now. Pretty sure they tried a few years ago and Chris didn't wanna do it.
Nice to see one of the most liked actors onscreen is equally as charismatic, humble and genuine off screen. Would like to see Chris in more stuff today.
chris tucker was so incredible to me on screen. he played EVERY character so differently, but was so perfect in each role.. hard to explain but my goodness what an actor! money talks and fifth element were my faves. obviously loved friday but hated how the studio did em..
It show that the entertainment industry is a joke.Everyone point fingers at Ice cube, But the production team was on some bs,Ice cube was ready to make the movie
