O'Shea Jackson Jr.

The first month, pressure.

I was scared to death, you know?

I had amazing chemistry with Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, my man Aldis Hodge, Neil Brown Jr.

That was the crew.

That was NWA.

And if it wasn't for those guys and the chemistry we had and just being excited to work with them all the time, laugh with them all the time, I would have had a very hard time doing Straight Outta Compton, harder than I already did.

Um.

I knew auditioning and working and workshopping for two years on that role, I knew by the time that the first action, I was ready.

I've been holding it and focused for two years straight.

There was really nothing that was gonna stop me from portraying my dad, how I know him, and to make sure that what I put on the screen was true.

you're always nervous that you want the movie to do good.

You want, you just, you, you want to, and when you're in it, everything feels good.

But then once it, once you put it out, you're hoping and wishing and it, it, it crushed.

So a lot of the fears were.

I'm going to say more so whether or not I was getting it right from an acting perspective.

I knew how I know how my dad would act in certain situations.

But is it translating properly on the camera?

And I feel like it did.

Well, I can't watch movies the same.

Movies have been ruined for me.
