Check out their photos below along with excerpts from the interview below:
“I was training at Church Street gym downtown and Antoine [Fuqua] had 50 come and just talk. We met up and the second we met, I literally got out of the ring. I was done with training, we met in the back room and he just started talking to me like he was my manager. From that moment, I was like, ‘He’s amazing.’ – Gllyenhaal about his co-star 50 Cent.
“but it’s something in a human being that you wish to know about yourself, but you never wish to know, do you know what I mean?” – Gllyenhaal
