Welcome to Younghollywood.com. I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Day Zero Premiere with the man himself, the star of the show, Wilmer Valderrama.

Wilmer Valderrama

How are you guys? Good to see you, Young Hollywood.

Young Hollywood

So tell us a bit about this film.

Wilmer Valderrama

It's a very entertaining movie. It's a lot of fun things to watch, you know, and, uh, and I play my first bad guy, so that's, uh, that's kinda fun.

Young Hollywood

It's a massive change from, obviously, you know, the '70s show and stuff like that.

Wilmer Valderrama

Yeah, it's very different. It's very different, man. I put everything that I knew aside, and, uh, and I did what I, what I had to do for this role and hopefully all the fans and everybody, you know, appreciates it.

Young Hollywood

We're gonna see Wilmer's mean side. That's right, see that. So what's it like working with, uh, Laurence Fishburne? Legend.

Wilmer Valderrama

He's great, man. He's great. Just the fact that he's in the movie is a fantastic, uh, presence, you know? I mean, the cast is amazing. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Taye Diggs, Devon Benner, corrupt, you know, I mean, the cast really, really showed up. I'm proud of it. It's actually, uh, a very powerful message. A message that I think that, uh, really hits home to a lot of people. A lot of things that we see in, uh, in the news, a lot of things that we read about in newspapers. Uh, we talk about it, and we show it, and, uh, and we see how it affects all of us directly and indirectly. Send the message across.

Young Hollywood

Now, you're too busy to turn up on the soccer field, so what are you doing? You never show up anymore. Soccer, every once in a while. And now he's just disappeared from the game.

Wilmer Valderrama

Yeah, you know, when, when, you know, when duty calls. We're shooting a bunch of things. I'm producing a couple of shows right now. A couple of things for Fox, and there's something coming up pretty soon that, uh, you guys will all hear about it.

Young Hollywood

You've got your hands in loads of different pies, as my mom would say.

Wilmer Valderrama

Yeah, yeah, I mean, you gotta keep it movin', you know? You gotta keep it movin', yeah.

Young Hollywood

Keep it busy, keep it busy. So, uh, I'm sure there's lots of ladies out there, love life, single, partying. What are you doing?

Wilmer Valderrama

I don't know, why don't you tell them? Why don't you go bring a single out, man? Come on.

Young Hollywood

I had to ask. I've got to ask, I've got to ask. Anyway, pleasure. I'm excited to see this film. Can't wait. It's great to see you, buddy.
