Nearly 30 years since their start, the ‘Bad Boys’ of America, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have returned to the big screens all over the world, and Magic Johnson was there to celebrate them. Smith and Lawrence have an aura, that continues to bring the fans of cinema together, and Los Angeles Lakers legend Johnson was one of them. In the premiere of the ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die‘, Johnson was appreciative of the above duo, especially for coming out of the barrier of age limit. 

As one of the best athletes in basketball, Johnson knows how the body changes as age increases. Yet when it comes to Smith and Lawrence, one might accept they have pretty much looked the same since the start of the ‘Bad Boys‘. That’s a fact that blows Johnson’s mind. 

A host questioned Johnson, “Being dynamic is what you do as well Magic. Can you imagine these guys, they’re just running down the street. They’re still doing some of their own stunts 30 years later. Is there anything that you do today…?” Even before the host finished his question, Johnson denied with a bold no.

The 5x champion said, “I would pull every muscle in my body and so you’re right. They take care of themselves and they’re like geniuses. They’re smart at their craft and I’m just proud of both of them.” ‘Age is just a number’ is a famous saying, and the Bad Boys duo live by it. Don’t be surprised if you get part 5 of this sequel in a few years! Oh also, don’t miss Johnson’s review of the movie after watching the premiere.

Johnson wrote on X, “Cookie and I went to the Bad Boys Ride or Die movie premiere last night, and we recommend that you all see it! It was a great, action-packed movie – and with Martin Lawrence and Will Smith as co-stars, you know it was funny too!”

He also added, “We enjoyed spending time with Martin and Will, our two good friends for over 30 years.” There were a lot of popular figures at the premiere, but Johnson was the only one who gave an idea of what the movie looked like.
