Smith has developed Fast and loose for a while, thanks to an adrenaline rush after the latest movie in the Bad boys series, Bad Boys: Ride or Diegrossed $400 million at the worldwide box office. After showing he’s ready to step back into the spotlight, Smith aims to hit Hollywood with cinematic bangers for audiences to enjoy.
