“I wanted to move on because when I did something, I never wanted to do it again. Back then, I was all about going to the next level. I had a good sense of like, ‘OK, now it’s time to go do an action movie.'”
“So when they asked me to do a Friday, I was like, ‘Nah, I wanna go do something else. We done did that,” he continued. “…I was thinking about my career, saying, ‘Nah I wanna go do Money Talks or something.’ Let me do my own movie.'”
“It was about going to the next level. They couldn’t believe I didn’t want to do another one, but I was right when I think back on it. I was like, ‘It’s time to do something new. We did that.’ I did everything I could do, and I was prepared [to move on]. And I’m satisfied with it.”
Twitter, of course, isn’t buying what Cube is selling, believing it was the money from the other films that lured Tucker away from Friday. Tucker’s acting career took off after he turned down Next Friday, starring in three Rush Hour films with Jackie Chan, the sci-fi blockbuster The Fifth Element, and Money Talks.
