Den of Thieves 2: Pantera star O’Shea Jackson Jr. sat down with BOSSIP to talk about how he built a personal relationship with co-star Gerard Butler off camera, how they built the sweat-inducing tension that takes place in the film, and what he would do if Kendrick Lamar sent him on the ultimate heist behind the wheel of a Buick GNX getaway car.
On how his personal relationship with Butler helped him in a professional capacity on set O’Shea says:
“It gives you a level of security knowing that when you see each other on the call sheet you know you have somebody who has your back a little bit. You have somebody you can talk to or ask for things if you need something in a scene and you know you really have a partner out there”
When explaining how he and his castmates worked to build unique tension that would feel real to the audience O’Shea told us:
“It’s about weighing the gravity of the situation to yourself. What we deal with in the film is life and death in a lot of situations. (laughs) Nobody wanna go to prison…”
