- WTF Happened To This Celebrity? - The JoBlo series that examines the careers of stars and filmmakers who may have fallen out of the spotlight, and tells where they are now!
After his breakout role in 1995 with FRIDAY, comedian Chris Tucker became a household name from a memorable appearance as space deejay Ruby Rhod in THE FIFTH ELEMENT and his Jackie Chan team-up RUSH HOUR trilogy - which also made him the highest-paid actor in Hollywood at the time. But in recent years, the A-lister has become far more selective with his roles as he focuses on his faith. If you ain’t got s#!t to do, check out “WTF Happened to CHRIS TUCKER!”

Chris Tucker is one of the only actors I laugh just hearing him scream.
😆🤣😆
Maybe because you enjoy gay characters
@@siobhanair2659 geee..you're really struggling ain't you....poor thing
@@siobhanair2659 you must be new here
@@ardie72 cause’ she’s laughing? You’re a fruit loop.🤔
I met Chris tucker before in New York I got him to do the iconic “do u understand the words that our coming out of my mouth” it was the best day ever he’s really a great guy and he actually talks to and makes his fans laugh even when he’s not on a stage he is the 🐐🐐
Obviously you have never heard of Richard Pryor, if you think tucker is the GOAT
@@GTSN38 guess you never heard of Dave Chappelle
@@christopherramsey5163 yes, I think he's a good comedian, but he would tell you himself that Pryor is far greater 😉
@@GTSN38 no
I like RP in movies. He makes me laugh but not his stand ups. Now CT is HILARIOUS 😅😅😅
He was truly one of the best parts of "The Fifth Element." Especially his lead-in to the news.
Ruby Rod was in a class by himself. He was the comical element for the ages!
dude....get my mutha phucking wife name outta yo mutha phuckkingg....oh wait, wrong chris
It's lame how stuff in the 90's that was just fine has been propagandized to look super gay by todays standards. Haircuts, clothes, etc., talk about "cultural appropriation" lol.
The real credit should go to the person who talked him into wearing a big dick as a hairstyle
Thinking of his role through the lense of todays social media stars honestly makes his acting ...brilliant. He was ahead of his time.
Anyone who can navigate his way through the unforgiving grind that is Hollywood, and come out the other side with his sanity, values, and personal moral compass intact, is a winner. Kudos to him. Continue living your best life, Chris.
I'm pleasantly surprised that his career was more respectable compared to the others featured in this series. His career didn't have a lot of embarrassing moments
Lolita express?
@@yongyea4147 ' a lot'
He quit Hollywood.
He never fell into making crap movies like,say..........
Eddie Murphy.
Friday will always be one of those special movies that just can't be recreated.
But if they try to remake it... I will want to watch it just to see how they destroy it.
straight up
I think dc young fly would be good
The first one was amazing, but let's be real, we all loved the rest of them too. If they tried making another one, it will undoubtedly suck, so I hope they don't. People need to learn to let go of the things they love. I don't know how many times they have to see those things ruined before they finally get it.
@@hallsentertainment5967 he would be terrible Every movie DC has been in He is terrible in He is only funny on that shitty Ass show he is on
Tucker is a guy that has a high voice that isn't annoying.
Funny guy.
"Do you understand the words coming outta my mouth?!"
"Nobody understands the words that are comin out of your mouth, man."
🤣🤣😂🤣🤣😂
@@luigi55125 Ricky tan will see you
I love how these "WTF Happened to ..." videos always look at both the good and bad stuff actors create but still manage to be really upbeat. They portray these actors as humans, with their flaws and with what makes them great.
?
But never explains what actually went wrong or what happened. Its more of a clickbait filmography
@@carpe_poon5761 salt
We were just watching all Rush Hour movies last week, and my wife and daughter loved them so much. They were laughing the whole time, so perfect timing on this!
Chris is a good actor. Far funnier than Kevin hart I’ll tell you that. Nice video!
and the other chris, Rock.
dont forget the othert chris, evans.
love Tucker and Chris rock cant stand Kevin at all. even the rock sucks to PG for me both of them.
Kevin Hart is funny?
@@winstonhow3614 lol
I've always loved Fifth Element, including Chris's character. I love everything about this movie.
Me also
Same. It was my favorite movie when I was younger.
see it now and we cannot wait for his part to come on screen!
This kind of melted my brain a bit when they talked about Chris in the 5th Element basically being a prediction of today's "influncers". Dang. That had never crossed my mind until just now and it's totally right.
I still really like "Money Talks". Underrated flick
“Same time man I don’t know you same time!”
You must be from that "French part of Compton" 😏👍
Honestly for me it’s funnier than the Rush Hour films.
Goooooood damn, James Russell you husslin son of a bitch
So true
5th element his role is funny as hell
Basically predicted podcasting
I still go "ZZZZ-zzz!" to all my friends! =)
Ruby Rhod was the first Funko POP i ever bought.... I couldn't resist
@@DrJohnAZoidberg Cool! Which version? =)
@@BuckarooBanzai84 the leopard print
Ruby was way ahead of his time as a character. He indeed is the modern pop internet star
Chris Tucker will always be my most favorite comedian of all time. His rush hour movies were the funniest ever. I also respect his morals and his mindset of living his life and making the most of it instead of burning himself out
When you said “Friday or whatever day it is” I sat here thinking what day it is, and I was like “it’s Friday...” then was like 🤔oh oooooh 🤦🏽 gonna put down my bowl for a sec.
hahaha! Thanks for watching and enjoy your Friday...
Same thought went through my mind.
Tucker had me laughing my ass off in Fifth Element. I have always LOVED that movie!
"We are living a Chris Tucker joke"
Damn, that just hits different man.
After Rush Hours 1-3, I never thought Chris Tucker would ever stop acting, he seemed pretty solid as an A lister at that point. Wonder why he went 5 years after without making a film... and why he isn't around more now, the guy is really funny!
Bc Hollywood wicked he wants out
He's so amazing with the amount of charisma he brings. After watching this, I truly think he could do well as a serious dramatic actor.
Just hearing Chris Tucker makes me happy. That's all I gotta say.
"I be playing mind games with Deebo. He be like shut the fuck up. And I'll be quiet. Soon as he gone, I start talkin' again."
lol 😂
Chris Tucker is one of my all time favorite actors. Talent beyond. I loved Fifth Element because of him
Last time I was this early Chris Tucker was A-list.
And hadn't had flown to Epstein's island :/
@@ShallowDepression he didn't though, per his research.
@@Ontime2day Time will tell, more dominoes to fall soon enough. Weinstein sang like a canary.
I still like his performance in Dead Presidents.
5th Element is a great movie, and Chris's character is one of the most memorable parts of it. My sister loves to imitate his "bdzzzzt".
.. tell my wife, she is "hot, hot, hooooot"
I appreciate how he tries to be something more than just a funny guy, staying true to himself.
Chris tucker has always delivered. Very intelligent and hilarious..
I just watched the Rush Hour trilogy again after a long time. Theyre still as great as I remember. When I was a kid, I watched a ton of Jackie chan and Jet li movies that werent released in America, and I always loved Chris from Friday. When they combined the two of them that was like PB & J, both of them go down as legends in my book. Hope Chris makes a comeback.
I just re-watched the rush hour franchise always makes me laugh. 🤣
"All ya'll look alike!" Comedy is missed RIP
That would never fly today.
Man, no Asian care about that, we laughed our identical asses off
As an Asian myself this doesn't sound offensive since most Asian in reality does look alike at first sight .
Its offensive when they say you'll look the same like they mean it .
Kevin Hart took over the fast-talking high-voiced smartass black guy roles, since Chris Tucker was not doing those anymore.
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker are too old for a new Rush Hour movie to be good enough.
Even RH3 wasn't as good as RH1 or RH2 in my opinion.
It was a good trilogy, but with steadily declining quality.
@@jliller Rush Hour 2 was by far the best in my opinion, so I wouldn’t say the quality steadily declined
Agree
@@domphilbrick RH2 had everything, which is not usually the case as the first movie is the banger and the sequels steadily decline, but ofc Chris tucker gona make it work altho i will say I like RH3, and i think a lot of people were ready for a 3rd installment the way RH2 went, but for sure we don't need a 4, but I'm always on the lookout for what Chris tucker is up to as well as Jackie chan just from the trilogy
RH2 was the best by far!
Chris Tucker is one of those actors who can almost always make me laugh
Really appreciate this video man.
Actually a real "WTF happened to" as this guy absolutely disappeared.
@@matthewdaley746 do you mean Kevin Hart?
Chris hasn't disappeared but it's clear he's gotten much closer to God in recent years. He doesn't really like to cuss anymore or talk bad about folk or do what he can to stay "famous".
Probably got closer to god cuz he was in Jeffery Epsteins flight log...
@Jody Darden he didn't go to the island. in the beginning of the video the youtuber explains he use the plane to go to Africa. Nice try though
@Jody Darden lots of wealthy African Americans go to Africa to explore their roots and theirs plenty of nice places in Africa just like there's plenty of shitty places in the west. The only thing you probably know about Africa is what western media tells you. I can smell sarcasm even through text, nice try though.
He has a certain charm about him n the way he acts n stuff makes him so lovable. Whereas any1 else that acts n talks like that is usually annoyin af
I'm a bit unsure about liking or hating Chris Tucker.
Yes, he has a certain charm and he can certainly act, but the stereotypical hyper-active, squeaking character he loves to portray does get on my nerves somewhat. It certainly puts him in the Hollywood bin of typecast actors. I would love to see him dial it down a lot and do a more "natural" character.
@@tjroelsma He toned it down in Silver Linings Playbook, and he was still great, despite it's a small role.
@@A-Dubs398 I haven't seen that movie, so I'll take your word for it. But that only shows he's a far better actor than he seems to be with his tendency to play way over-the-top characters.
@@tjroelsma I always highly recommend Sliver Linings Playbook, it's super underrated. Every actor kills it.
I will say it might be funny if after being gone for so long Smokey came back to the Friday franchise as a clean born again Christian that is then tempted back into getting high because weed is now legal? lol
Chris Tucker is a legend
That man is one of my all time favorite actors
“Who you think she is? Chelsea Clinton!?”
"Who you think she Kelsey Clinton?!" "Is it Chelsea or Kelsey?" Lol from the bloopers
50 MILLION DOLLAS WHO U THINK U GOT KELSEY GRAMMER
I love his performance in The Fifth Element. Too bad most of his dialogue is lost in the TV edit.
'Broadcast' tv, as well as airline edit versions.
Who is held to a TV edit?
who the fuck watches censored tv or airline movies...phones tablets electronics torrents exist.jesus help them bro i aint watched tv in over 15 years not live tv that is. i had fifth element when divx came out i believe lmfao...or it was a svcd...cant recall i know its old...hell vevo or realplayer even hahahahaha. fuck i used to rip movies and upload them back in the day. and hellla uncensored music videos. efnet on irc #freevideo. leper187...been on the fuckin news and everything hahahahaha...been raided...jesus..good times
He is a comedic legend. I will watch anything he is in.
Chris alongside Jackie are my favorite actors in Rush Hour 1&2.
The Chris Tucker joke.. nailed it. lol
Yes we need a rush hour 4
I swear you are making me relive my childhood again...started making a list of fav old movies to ho back to.. thank you
god job bro👏this presentation was pleasing.
Just imagining Chris Tucker in Spiral makes me laugh.
Rush hour: book of saw
@@Movypro23 They missed a trick not calling it Pigsaw lol
@@leejones8582 lol yeah in the same league as epic movie and date movie
He was very very funny in the 90’s but somehow overtime I just think most studios didn’t really know what to do with him or how to cast him. (Possibly he just didn’t like the scripts sent to him in the mid 2000’s) hopefully he does another great role out of the blue eventually
That's stated in the video.
It was actually him that didn’t want to act anymore. They wanted him for the Friday sequel but he didn’t want to do it
I feel like what has been most detrimental to his career was getting overshadowed and then replaced in Hollywood by Chris Tucker, a fellow black comedic actor who brings a similar vibe of fast talking quirkiness to his roles.
it was more so him but if he stayed around tht wouldve happened anyway
@@barbiquearea his name is Chris tucker wtf
I adore Rush hour, but my favorite bit is in the bloopers for Rush Hour.
Chris keeps flubbing his line in chinese and Jackie just bursts out laughing saying 'How difficult is that? My engish?! He even can not say THREE WORDS chinese!' and there's something just so wholesome about it as they go on to just be goofballs XD
I can literally quote every line in the movie Friday. Classic.
Could you do an entire video on Fifth Element alone? Like one of these long 30+ minute videos. 🤞
Bet you it would be really popular
I'm glad you made this. Makes me respect him even more. Good job.
I loved the Fifth Element from the first time I saw it, and Chris Tucker's performance was HILARIOUS! Yes, it's a weird movie, but very funny and exciting!
Great vide JoBlo, this really does remind you of how good Chris was/is as a person and to Cinema. We miss him, but have tons of good movies to fill that void.
Oh yeah, last time I seen him was Rush Hour 3.
He tried to get the 4th one going but I think Jackie had an injury on another film and the script was apparently outdated and lousy
@@Movypro23
According to IMDb the 4th one is still happening
@@theshadowman1398 yeah, for some reason it’s still there but Hollywood always changes it’s mind at the drop of a hat. It would have to be a really fun and exciting nostalgia trip in 2023 (1st film’s 25th anniversary) if it gets filmed
@@theshadowman1398 thats been there for years now, I don't think it's ever coming out. Reason why I don't think it will is because as in the video mentioned it would cost too much to get them back together, plus Jackie has said before that he didn't enjoy the Rush Hours that much and there hasn't been a good script but he has been in other movies and some have had questionable scripts that make you think that maybe Jackie just doesn't want to do another one, but it also could be because of Brett Ratner sexual assault claims too.
IMO there is a better chance of Shanghai Dawn than Rush Hour 4.
It’s probably pretty notching me but it maybe not a theme so...... 🙄 😒 DUHH want 💨 smoke
That man is freaking hilarious.
Friday, and Rush hour, some of my go to classic movies that never gets old.
This is some quality shiz. Thanks JoBlo, great job.
I remember going to see Silver Linings Playbook and not being aware he was going to be in it and think 'oh hey, is that Chris Tucker? Haven't seen him in ages' when he first came on and 'holy shit, he did it' by the end. So glad we got to see that sort of thing from him, I earnestly hope he does more like it.
These videos make my day 🤣😭😱
Thanks so much for watching!
@@taylorjamesjohnson8326 Are you the narrator? 😁
@@cadillacdeville5828 yep. Those words are coming out of my mouth. Thanks!
i love this guys acting too, thanks for this video you just gave an awesome movie playlist
Great Video
Chris tucker could’ve been in so many great movies
Im really upset about Tower Heist lol
Fantastic video and perspective. I have a new found respect for the guy.
It's Friday today, and I am watching this video. How cool, JoBlo
And Chris Tucker in silver lining playbook..
Somehow makes perfect sense I have no idea why.
Still a great cameo.
I am a big fan of Mr Tucker. Thanks for this trip down memory lane ☺️
I like the positive spin you put out, thanks.
CRAZY, I was legit just wondering what happened to this actor last night! Awesome video, liked and subbed
The Fifth Element is 'action sci-fi', critics should understand the difference from pure sci-fi.
It's still very pure sci-fi, if you wanna split hairs it's cyberpunk but I think we can all agree that the genre of that story = amazing
Story time! So I met Chris Tucker the Atlanta Falcons versus Minnesota Vikings football game in 1999 (IIRC) just a few years after Friday. I saw him walking up the steps and nobody else seen him or recognized him. I was telling my friends that “Chris Tucker is coming towards us” and they just kept looking at me. I’m like “Smoky from Friday! Fucking Smoky is coming!“ And as he walked from front row seats to the 35th section one of my friends and I ran over to him a I wanted an Autograph. However, I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t even realize I didn’t have anything for him to sign. That’s when I took off my hat and gave it to him! But I didn’t have a pen either! 😩 I was bummed out when all of the sudden he told me not to sweat it and pulls out a black ink pen of his own and signs my Vikings fitted. I was telling him how I went to Marshall University, and no Randy Moss from the WV days and that’s why I was there. He said Randy was coming to watch his comedy show and later and it was sold out. Again I was bummed.
At the end of the game aftermost of the crowd to dissipated a female he was with came up to us and pulled me aside. Super something in my pocket and said it was from Chris. She slipped me three tickets to his show and I got to watch him do his stuff that evening and sit at the table next to Randy Moss and Chris Carter. To make things extra special, a young Cedric the Entertainer was there. Awesome dude!
Boss
Great video and tribute to the legendary actor!
This was brilliant 👏 👌
Do a WTF happened to Bridget Fonda. I had a huge crush on her back in the day. Seeing this video made me think of her because she was in Jackie Brown.
She was so gorgeous Jackie brown! Ideal woman in that film
@@Theforeveraloneguy She'd be a perfect WTF happened video too. Her career got hot in the early 90's and she had a slew of decent films. Then she just disappeared in 2001 never to be seen on film again.
I want to see a "WTF HAPPENED TO JOBLOW?"
They came up with an idea of having an annoying dude to narrate this series.
@@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853 Yeah I get what you mean.
He does change when he has real admiration for the subject. But his "comedic" narration is a raw knuckle running up and down a rough rock of sand and salt.
When I watched his Jet Li narration I found myself getting extremely excited and deeply depressed. Which would alternate on an minute by minute process at some points.
Tbh I felt the same when he did the Bruce Lee one too. But I was too much and still are, in awe of Mr Lee to notice it straight away. I felt myself getting annoyed but I couldn't place why, as I were so immersed in the life story of Mr Lee and how much he was actually betrayed.
You are the best voice presenter! So uplifting ,joyful. I enjoyed you.
Beautiful execution of this !
Smooooooth AD!
Man fifth element is literally in my top 5 favorite movies of all time
Thank you for this video on a great actor, I'm French and this is the first time I understand so much a video in english ! You speach is very clear !
Thank you for this video. Chris tucker has been my fav actor and Money talks, Rush Hour 1,2 are my fav movies. Fifth element is a classic.
i cant remember how many times i've watched the rush hour franchise. still waiting for that 4th tho
Rush hour 2 was more of the first with it's own memorable scenes.
Loved it too.
Thats why Rush Hour 2 is so awesome. Its the first movie but reversed.
Good video.
Best outro ever! Cheers m8
PLEASE do “What Happened to Sean William Scott”!!!!
He's the MCU Phase 4 Norman Osbourne.
There's a Looper video put out a couple of months ago already covering him.
That guy was my childhood lol
He got typecast too much as that dumb fratboy highschooler. When he got too old for that role studios didn't have anywhere for him to be.
@@Mzee1084 The heck are you on about. He hasn't went anywhere. Still play in big movies and he's one of the main cast on the recent Lethal Weapon TV series.
I do like that chris tucker was very selective about his roles, goes to show u that he had strong boundaries. Also I loved the rush hour movies 1-2. Honestly didn’t know there was a 3rd one though lol
That 5th element role deserved an award.
I have so much respect for this man.
Tucker did the right thing slowing down -via refinding god- when he did. I remember being shocked seeing him Silver Linings but his performance just made me wanna see more of that.
How do you make the letters look crossed out on certain words? Might sound like a dumb question but I don't know how to do that lol
Wow, this was good! Do Jackie Chan!!!
Fifth Element was sooooo good, and he was astonishing in it.
I watched the rush hour movies not to long ago and it still holds up
Michael Jackson never hurt any child. Go watch Razörfist's thorough debuking series of videos on his Rageaholic UA-cam channel.
I agree with Razorfist on very few things
Michael is one of them. It’s already been proven to be bullshit. And honestly I appreciate that Chris Tucker was there as his friend.
Ruby Rhod is the best character ever.
Whast is the name of the song playing in the background when he explains Rush hour franchise? Thank you :)
Nice one brosef
