Marlon Wayans traded in protein shakes for punchlines as he slimmed all the way down to revive his iconic position in Scary Film 6.
After bulking as much as play a professional footballer within the upcoming horror movie Him, the actor, 53, did the reverse to carry again his fan-favorite character Shorty Meeks.
“Bodily, I wish to endure some form of loopy routine,” Wayans shared in an interview with Leisure Weekly printed on Thursday, September 11, first referring to his preparation for the position of Isaiah White within the Jordan Peele-produced movie Him, which hits theatres on September 19.
“Even proper now, it’s Scary Film. I simply misplaced 20 lbs busting my behind daily ’trigger I didn’t wanna present as much as set as Shorty buff at 225. That’d be lazy of me,” the comic added, noting that viewers can count on to see him again in kind when he blurts out his famed line “Wassup?”
“I wanna do the work, I wanna seem like Shorty. So after I’m capable of [in his Shorty voice] have enjoyable and s***, individuals are capable of chortle at me, son,” he continued.
Wayans performed Shorty within the unique Scary Film and its 2001 sequel, each of which have been large field workplace hits.
The sixth installment was introduced in April 2024, marking the primary time the Wayans brothers — Marlon, Shawn and Keenan Ivory — are reuniting in 18 years to write down an unique script.
“After we did White Chicks, we made enjoyable of everyone,” Marlon identified. “We made enjoyable of Black individuals, we made enjoyable of white individuals, we made enjoyable of Hispanic individuals. That’s simply what we do. We make enjoyable of the world, make mild of the world. It’s to not hurt, it’s to carry humor.”
Unique stars Regina Corridor and Anna Faris are amongst these slated for a return in Scary Film 6.
“We will’t wait to carry Brenda and Cindy again to life and be reunited with our nice pals Keenen, Shawn, and Marlon — three males we’d actually die for (in Brenda’s case, once more),” Corridor, 54, and Faris, 48, instructed the outlet.
And it seems like no horror film is secure. Peele’s movies Get Out and Nope could also be spoofed, in addition to I Know What You Did Final Summer time, the Scream franchise, Heretic and Sinners, in keeping with Marlon.
