Black Celebrity Men

T.I. (along with Keri Hilson) took to the stage last night to perform at the Takers premiere after-party at club Boulevard. Chris Brown also showed off his moves to a packed house as he performed a medley of a couple of his top 10 hits.

However, it's Chris' performance as Jesse Attica in the movie that has everyone talking. For those of you who don't know, the singer did the majority of his stunt after convincing producers to allow him to leap through windows, scale buildings and jump on cars while filming a heated chase. He told MTV News:

"The most thrilling part about this movie is probably the stunts. I do, like, 96 per cent of my stunts. Some stunts they wanna use the doubles; I don't wanna use the double! And they're like, 'We have to for safety and insurance issues.' I think the most exciting parts are the stunts, getting to blow stuff up, shoot guns, you know what I'm saying. It's all fun!

When acting, I feel like it's cool to use your strengths, but it's also cool to use your other abilities as well. I didn't just wanna do movies that had consistent dancing and singing. I wanted to do stuff that pushes me as an actor at the end of the day. Because you have people like T.I. and Common that do stuff that's not around what they do in the entertainment industry as far as music, and they succeeded. So I just wanna branch over to that, especially like Will Smith. He comes from rapping and going right into the acting thing, so I wanna come from the singing parts and go into acting, and people can tell the difference. I think that with this role, it was more intense, more action, more stuff that I love to do, what I love to see in movies.
