I wanted to show people how funny she is.
#HERE COMES THE BOOM FIGHTERS MOVIE#
She wanted to do the movie and the challenge for me was that no one was going to believe that we would get together! Everybody said we have to ugly her up but you can't! But she was the best person for it since she does do that improv. "We've done other movies and sketch work together. The sport might not be for them but the fighting is a metaphor for the obstacles we have to go through in our life and shows what this teacher would do." It was almost like putting aspiring in the apple sauce. Mothers can take age-appropriate kids and see the inspiration behind all of it.
But I also wanted to make this movie to show a human side of it. Their biggest concern was that they don't give out stuff very easily. "They knew I was a true fan of the sport. So I'm exposing myself in a lot of ways." You're exposed and out there in more ways than one. "She liked it! She loves me either way though. How his wife liked his character's short shorts.
#HERE COMES THE BOOM FIGHTERS PROFESSIONAL#
We trained really hard, I changed my diet, I got professional trainers and fighters to work with me. It was a dream come true because I was fulfilling the dream of doing this and showing something different. They use it for inspiration or intimidation."ġ4 months of fight training: dream or torture? We hear a song and it can take us back or music for these fighters. So we added that in the movie: how music affects these kids and can be used as a study aid. "I never played a musical instrument growing up but I knew kids who did and took it very seriously. They were very nice people and just had very unique jobs." I got to know some of the fighters over the years and was blown away: they're not just these gladiators in an octagon but real family men fighting for different inspirational needs. I was also a big fan of mixed martial arts. On the flipside, a bad teacher can do the same thing if they bring you down. Thirty years later, they still affect me now in terms of trying to be the best version of myself. On the teaching side, I've had teachers who were instrumental in my life and I wanted to honor them in a way and how they can affect you well past your schooling days. Read on more from James on what it was like having to rumble with his gorgeous co-star and pal Salma Hayek and on flexing different acting muscles:
For the right reasons, I could stand up for my friends and my family, but that's not saying I would do well!" "I have such crazy respect for what these guys do.

"First of all, these guys were all twenty years younger than men," he added. But ask the actor how he would fare in the ring and he laughs: "Horribly! Horribly!" Under the tutelage of the UFC's top rumblers (including legend Bas Rutten, who plays James' friend Niko in the film), James turned himself into a lean, sparring machine. For his role in Here Comes the Boom, Kevin James (who also co-wrote and co-produced the film, which comes out Friday) trained intensively for 14 months to transform himself from Scott Voss, a complacent biology teacher, to Scott Voss, the inspired mixed martial arts fighter who tries to save the high school's music program one showdown at a time.
