LL Cool J Says Bruce Lee Energy Got Him Doing His Own Stunts

LL Cool J ain't the type to let somebody else do the work for him—whether he's spitting bars or throwing down on camera. In a recent sit-down, the Queens vet gave credit to Bruce Lee's approach as inspiration for handling up to 90% of his own stunts on set. That's the same mentality that made him a legend in hip-hop: if you want it done right, you do it yourself.

For LL, it's never been about coasting or phoning it in. The commitment he brought to every album, every verse, every collaboration—that same energy translated to his acting career. He's not just reciting lines; he's fully invested in the craft. Bruce Lee represented that same uncompromising standard: mastery through personal involvement, not shortcuts.

Meanwhile, his character Sam Hanna is stepping into a new situation in New York, which should make things interesting on screen. LL's always been about evolution, and this next chapter keeps that momentum going. When you work that hard, the results show.
