Speaking of another one of your girls, Symone is making her debut at WWE now.
Are you a proud papa?
Because she's carrying on the legacy, fourth generation.
She's making history.
She's made history, very, very proud of her.
She is fiercely independent.
It's very important for her to make her own way, blaze her own trail,
blaze her own path.
She doesn't come to me looking for a lot, which I respect that.
And I'm here watching and supporting.
A memory popped up on my phone, and it was you and me from the Tremonta truck.
Wasn't that great in Atlanta?
Memory.
So hot that day.
So hot.
It's still pretty hot out here in SoCal, DJ.
It's hot.
Just saying.
You got married?
You were engaged then, right?
I am engaged.
I'm married.
Hey, congratulations.
Thank you.
And he's just, he's a man.
He goes, tell my DJ I said hey.
Tell him I said hey.
I sure will.
OK.
This is the fifth time we're seeing you and Kevin Hart team up together.
Are you officially Hollywood BFF material now?
Is he your favorite co-star?
This is the fifth time and the last time that we team up.
No, it's not.
No, I love Kevin.
I love Kevin.
And we always have the best time on screen, off screen.
And audiences enjoy us together, too.
It's also rare that you find somebody who you have just such great chemistry with.
In terms of amazing chemistry, I have Kevin Hart.
I have Emily Blunt.
When it comes to, right?
And then John was in this film, was he not?
John was in this.
Krasinski was in this, too.
He took their girls to see this.
They loved the movie.
I adored it.
And I love the fact that you've never lost sight of where you came from,
which is wrestling.
Last week, I was in Orlando with Montez Ford.
And you sang his praises on Instagram.
What do you see in him that makes him championship material?
I love that guy.
I love his energy.
I love his charisma.
I love his work ethic.
And in the world of pro wrestling, there's nothing like the world of pro wrestling.
It's very unique.
And it's also a business.
Professional wrestling, WWE, it's in my blood.
It's my passion.
I love it.
So for a guy like him, he's worked his butt off.
And by the way, they all do.
Everybody in that locker room, the men, the women.
But him in particular, he's got great athleticism.
He's got the whole package.
He's such a charming guy, too.
He's cool.
Yes, he's very cool.
He wants to see DJ back in the ring.
Could it ever happen?
Of course, yeah.
I'm always, always open to that, for sure.
