During the interview, Will and Martin reflected on their decades-long friendship, emphasizing respect and love as the cornerstones of their relationship.
“This guy… for 30 years, I’ve learned so much from him. Back when we started Bad Boys, I wasn’t the best with people. I might’ve been standoffish or something,” Martin admitted, prompting Will to remind him, “You were a little mean.”
