The one thing Jaafar Jackson learned about micheal Jackson that nobody talks about....
Kelly Clarkson: What did you learn about him that you maybe didn't know? Like, you know, diving deep into this character you're trying to honor?
Jaafar: Through the process, uh... what surprised me most, I would say, is I was allowed access to a lot of his personal notes. And I realized that he would do mantras, affirmations, and his belief in manifestation was incredible. I didn't realize that about him until I really, you know, dived into it.
He would write everything he wanted to achieve. He'd write it down, he'd repeat it, and he'd even meditate for 30 minutes while looking at those mantras and repeating them back-to-back. He put them on mirrors, he put them on the ceiling, so he could see them every day. It really was his pursuit of greatness.
So I applied that same work ethic and that same belief while preparing for shooting, and it was very incredible just to see what those notes were saying.
"Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt settle the GOAT rapper debate... and their answers are hard to argue with."
Emily Blunt: I agree. GOAT drink.
Interviewer: GOAT rapper?
Emily Blunt: Kendrick Lamar. Oh, I'm sorry, I had to.
Dwayne Johnson: That's good.
Emily Blunt: Had to, had to.
Dwayne Johnson: That was fast, you jumped on that.
Emily Blunt: He should get a literary prize for how he writes. I mean, it's just so beautiful and extraordinary and clever and weird. And every time I listen to one of his songs, I hear more and more things, and it gets cleverer and cleverer and cleverer.
Dwayne Johnson: Yeah. The layers, yeah.
Off-screen Voice: He won a Pulitzer.
Emily Blunt: He won a Pulitzer Prize! Course he did.
Dwayne Johnson: I would say Kendrick. I would also say Rakim. You know how Kendrick, how he flows and his writing? Back then, back in the day, how it was going, it's like in the '80s when Rakim came along. I think it was like Run-D.M.C., Rakim came along. For example:
"I take seven MC's, put 'em in a line, and add seven more brothers who think they can rhyme, and then I'll take seven more before I go for mine. Now that's 21 MC's ate up at the same time."
Emily Blunt: Wow!
Dwayne Johnson: How crazy was that?
Emily Blunt: You're my favorite rapper.
Dwayne Johnson: Like, just that flow.
Emily Blunt: You've got flow.
Dwayne Johnson: By the way...
Emily Blunt: As they say...
Dwayne Johnson: As they say in the streets...
Emily Blunt: "It's a Black thing." Which, by the way, I've never said in my life! You've got flow! Couldn't have sounded moreโ
Dwayne Johnson: Kendrick, by the way, what I love about Kendrick Lamar is he just... attacks lyrics. That's what I love.
Emily Blunt: Ferocious.
Dwayne Johnson: Just ferocious. Hungry.
"Will Ferrell just ranked his own movies... and fans will definitely argue with his final pick."
Josh Horowitz: I'm going to challenge you as we're getting towards the end. I can only do this with people that have amazing on-screen credits. You're going to choose your favorite film in your own filmography, bracket style. Since you're such a sports enthusiast, I'm going to pit them against each other.
Will Ferrell: Whoa.
Josh Horowitz: You ready?
Will Ferrell: Okay.
Josh Horowitz: Okay, so Anchorman versus Blades of Glory.
Will Ferrell: I'll put my hand on the crystal, yeah.
Josh Horowitz: You brought your own crystal. Thank you for that. Anchorman versus Blades of Glory.
Will Ferrell: Ding, ding! Uh... I love them both. I'm going to say Anchorman because it was extremely hard to get made.
Josh Horowitz: Okay. Yeah. Elf versus The Other Guys?
Will Ferrell: Oh, come on!
Josh Horowitz: I know. That's good, right? Yeah, it's fun.
Will Ferrell: Come on. Because The Other Guys has been such a sleeper. People now reference The Other Guys. They've finally caught up to The Other Guys. But I'll have to say Elf because it's brought joy...
Josh Horowitz: I don't think that's the way you're supposed to say that word.
Will Ferrell: ...to people! They don't even watch it during Christmas. They watch it year-round.
Josh Horowitz: Why are you so angry?
Will Ferrell: Because it brings joy!
Josh Horowitz: Talladega Nights versus Old School?
Will Ferrell: Oh...
Josh Horowitz: This challenge melted Will Ferrell's brain. It's hard. I acknowledge this is tough.
Will Ferrell: So hard! Can I say something controversial?
Josh Horowitz: Let's do it.
Will Ferrell: I'm going to say Old School. Because Old School hadn't even come out yetโit was in the can. They pushed the release date into February, no man's land back then, when release dates actually meant something. But Old School became such a hit that it led to the greenlight of Anchorman and all that momentum. Talladega Nights wouldn't have been made without Old School.
Josh Horowitz: Great logic. There we go. Step Brothers versus Zoolander?
Will Ferrell: Oh, I mean, Step Brothers was just... I think we shot over a million and a half feet of film because there was so much improvising. That was just a pure joy.
Josh Horowitz: Yeah. Now we pit the winners against each other. It's Old School versus Step Brothers.
Will Ferrell: I'll go Step Brothers.
Josh Horowitz: Okay. Anchorman versus Elf?
Josh Horowitz: Well, now he's having a stroke right on camera! What an exclusive we got.
Will Ferrell: I'll go...
Josh Horowitz: You got this.
Will Ferrell: I'll go Anchorman.
Josh Horowitz: Okay. And finally, it's Anchorman versus Step Brothers for all the marbles. Will?
Will Ferrell: It's going to be Anchorman.
Josh Horowitz: There it is. According to the man himself.
Will Ferrell: I don't know if I'm right. I'm probably wrong.
Josh Horowitz: You're right.
"This GOAT challenge took an unexpected and hilarious turn. ๐๐ฅ"
Emily Blunt: GOAT skill you could give a masterclass on? Okay. Here we go. God. Don't be gross.
Dwayne Johnson: I was just going to be gross.
Emily Blunt: Yeah, don't. Don't.
Dwayne Johnson: I was just going to be gross. Horizontal hula.
Emily Blunt: Career ender. Good night. Horizontal hula. Oh my God. Okay, what's yours?
Emily Blunt: I mean, I make a great bolognese.
Dwayne Johnson: Yeah. Cooking, sure.
Emily Blunt: I'd say that. Maybe that one meal.
Dwayne Johnson: My real oneโcheat meals.
Emily Blunt: That's not a skill.
Dwayne Johnson: That is a skill. Have you not seen how I throw down? Or take my time and ceremoniously...
Emily Blunt: Thank you very much. Thank you for engaging in his ridiculous skill of his. Okay.
Dwayne Johnson: My GOAT cheat meal. Let's do that.
Emily Blunt: It's French toast.
Dwayne Johnson: Don't say it like that.
Emily Blunt: You know I hate French toast.
Dwayne Johnson: How in the fuck do you hate French toast?
Emily Blunt: It's so bready, and it tastes... it's like that vanilla, thick, gunky, wet bread.
Dwayne Johnson: Wow.
Emily Blunt: Do you know what we call it in England? Eggy bread.
Dwayne Johnson: Eggy bread.
The Rock and Emily Blunt settle the GOAT UFC debate and their picks might surprise you. ๐ฅ๐
Emily Blunt: Nice. Oh... "GOAT UFC fighter?"
Dwayne Johnson: Toss-up, man.
Emily Blunt: GOAT.
Dwayne Johnson: Uh... Jon Jones. Personally, Mark Kerr.
Emily Blunt: Mark Kerr. For the women, Amanda Nunes.
Dwayne Johnson: Who, by the way, you had a chance to say hello to.
Emily Blunt: I loved her.
Dwayne Johnson: The UFC Hall of Fame was really cool. We inducted Mark Kerr.
Emily Blunt: That was cool. I wouldn't mess with her.
Dwayne Johnson: No.
Emily Blunt: Wouldn't... wouldn't mess with her.

"When Burna Boy picked his football GOAT, Roger Federer couldn't help but smile. ๐๐ณ๐ฌ"
Burna Boy: Yeah. Oh, GOAT soccer player?
Roger Federer: So, a lot of debate around that one, huh? I mean...
Burna Boy: It's gonna get sticky. Football fans are tough! (laughs)
Roger Federer: Uh, okay, so I have, like... Maradona, Zidane, and Thierry Henry for me as personal, like, favorite players when I was growing up. Those were my favorites, uh, you know, kind of wanted to be like them.
Roger Federer: And then today, of course, you can't go past Messi and Ronaldo.
Burna Boy: That's kind of unfair though, what they do, because it's like...
Roger Federer: Yeah, they've just been...
Burna Boy: Yeah...
Roger Federer: ...breaking all the records. It's amazing.
Burna Boy: That's kind of like what you did, too. You can't really say nothing! (laughs)

Burna Boy: Yeah. Sweet. As you know me, I like...
Roger Federer: And what were the Nigerians... the team is called?
Burna Boy: The Super Eagles.
Roger Federer: The Super Eagles. Super cool. I like... why Super Eagles? Is it in the...
Burna Boy: They can't fly, but... (laughs)
Roger Federer: Yeah? (laughs)
Burna Boy: ...you know, they win some games, lose some games.
"Burna Boy says his stage name came from a childhood comic book dream..
Roger Federer: GOAT superhero you would team up with?

Roger Federer: Yes, I was gonna say it's got to be Black Panther. You just choose... sick.
Roger Federer: I'm a superhero guy. I like superheroes.
Burna Boy: Me too.
Roger Federer: Yeah.
Burna Boy: I used to draw them, you know?
Roger Federer: No way!
Burna Boy: Yeah, yeah. I used to do all the comic drawings and stuff. That's actually how I got the name Burna Boy, 'cause I wanted to be a character in the comic book, right?
Roger Federer: Yeah, yeah.
Off-camera Interviewer: What would be your superpower?
Burna Boy: Just fire flames and shhh, shhh, shhh. You know what I mean?
Roger Federer: I like flying. Flying's cool. Or like moving through time...
Burna Boy: Obviously, if you have fire flames, you can fly with it.
Roger Federer: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Everything's possible at that point. Yeah.
