When I was called I was saddened by the situation, but
also happy about my participation in the movie." On what it was like on
set on "Furious 7" (due in April): "I was very nervous. It's a
whole different dynamic. You're not Romeo the singer. The entire cast made me
feel so comfortable. But I walked into the set very very nervous." On
whether he wants more acting gigs: "Oh, absolutely, yeah. I would love to
as long the project makes sense. For me it's more of a time-frame. With a movie
you can be there for months. And most of the time I'm either touring or
recording an album."
On appearing in upcoming movie adaptation of "Angry
Birds": "I was very excited to do that. I did that in the comfort of
my home. I have my own recording studio -- via Skype with the directors
directing me. It was really cool. I think people are going to really enjoy
that." On why he wanted to team with Dr Pepper: "I've always been
very picky what brands I affiliate myself with. Dr Pepper is really cool. I
like their concept. It's something that really makes sense. The whole
one-of-a-kind campaign...It's an honor that they've decided to bring me on
board for a second year.
