Chat with Chris

Bridges stars in the movie with Mark Wahlberg, who plays maverick cop Max Payne. The movie, based on the best-selling video game with the same name, tells the story of Max Payne, who is hell-bent on revenge against those responsible for the brutal murder of his family and partner. His obsessive investigation takes him on a nightmarish journey into a dark underworld. As the mystery deepens, Max is forced to battle enemies beyond the natural world and face an unthinkable betrayal.
"Max Payne" is Bridges's eighth movie and it opens nationwide on Friday.

keith (NJ)
What do you enjoy more - acting or rapping?
Ludacris (11:56 AM)
I am 50-50 on both. I have been doing music my whole life. Acting is sitll new to me.
Gary T (San Francisco)
favorite sports tea>
Ludacris (11:56 AM)
I would say right now, I would say the Falcons. I'm pulling for them. There's nothing better than being in a slump and coming back to surprise the world.
Dale (Louisville)
This movie looks like it has a crazy amount of action in it. Did you do your own stunts?
Ludacris (11:57 AM)
There is a lot of action in it. I only get a little piece of the stunts. Yes, I did do my own stunts.
Henry (Buffalo)
how much bling do you have todya?
Ludacris (11:57 AM)
I have nothing but my ear rings. 5 carats each. Most of the bling is for on stage. Not walking around th eESPN offices.
Hank (Miami)
What was the best part about hanging out with Mark?
Ludacris (11:58 AM)
The best part is hearing a whole bunch of old stories about his past that I can't tell anyone because I would be disrepecting his privacy.
Aaron (Florida)
next project?
Ludacris (11:59 AM)
The next project Rocking and Roller comes out. And my next album comes out Nov. 25.
Kali (Brewton AL)
First Id like to congratulate you on all your success and positive influence. My mom loves ya but being that your from Atlanta. If the Falcons would happen to win the superbowl in the next couple of years do you think atl fans will determine Mikes Vick as a total failure in atlanta?
Ludacris (11:59 AM)
Daaaamn. I don't think that you could call any era a failure when teammates try as hard as they possibly can on the field.
Daniel (Wichita, KS)
Who would you put on the Mt. Rushmore of rap?
Ludacris (12:00 PM)
Tupac, Notorious BIG, Jay-Z, and Scarface.
jason (san antonio)
who do you think is the best rapper in the game right now
Ludacris (12:00 PM)
Ludacris.
Michael (Tallahasse)
Seems like you can do pretty much everything. What's something you're not good at?
Ludacris (12:01 PM)
I'm not good at cooking.
Ben (Charlotte)
What do you think of Eminem being named best rapper by Vibe?
Ludacris (12:01 PM)
I think he hasn't put out an album in a while, but as far as him being a great rapper, I agree.
Michael (Tallahasse)
When did you first realize you could act or that it was a possibility for you?
Ludacris (12:02 PM)
When I did 2 Fast 2 Furious. Crash followed closely after that.
gregg (philly)
You grabbed a lot of attention (positive and negative) with your mixtape rap about Obama. Do you plan on more political content for the next album?
Ludacris (12:02 PM)
No. I do not.
evan (fort lauderdale)
How did you like your guest appearance on the simpsons? Do u you crest toothpaste?
Ludacris (12:03 PM)
I love it! Ludacrest toothpaste. That made me feel as though I had finally made it. I felt like mainstream America knew who Ludacris was.
Bob (Elwood,IL)
Saw you with Wahlberg on Mike and Mike - you said you wanted to get into acting more, did you ask Mark about a cameo on Entourage by chance?
Ludacris (12:03 PM)
It just didn't work with my schedule. But maybe one day, I will.
Jason Reilly (K.C. USA)
How do you decide which roles you are going to take acting-wise?
Ludacris (12:04 PM)
I don't know until I see them.
Manny (Orlando)
What is the best and worst part of being famous?
Ludacris (12:04 PM)
Best part is being able to provide for your family and give back. Worst part is having your privacy completely taken away from you, becuase you become public property.
Tom (Chicago)
I have to say you did a great job in the SVU episodes. You were very intense in that role. Do you like that type of role better or more of that Fast and the Furious type roles?
Ludacris (12:05 PM)
I honestly enjoy the diversity in the both of them and will continue to do diverse roles. If I had to choose one, I kind of like the SVU better.
David Fairborn, OH
If it was rewarding for me to watch "Crash", it must've been 100 times more rewarding to be in "Crash". How was it to work with actors of that caliber?
Ludacris (12:06 PM)
It was great. I learned something from each and every one of them.
Jeff (Atl)
Best place to eat when in Atlanta?
Ludacris (12:06 PM)
Straits. Atlanta thai food restaurant.
Arnie P. (Ames)
You're a cool dude, man. Thanks for chatting!
Will J (Portland, OR)
What was the best sporting event/game you've ever seen in person?
Ludacris (12:07 PM)
I was at a game where the Wizards went into double overtime or something. That's hard.
Timo (San Diego)
Beyonce or J-Lo?
Ludacris (12:07 PM)
Beyonce.
PaulieP (Scottsdale)
Did you play the game before signing on to the movie? What games do you play?
Ludacris (12:07 PM)
Yep. I definitely did. My role was written for a 60 yeard old white guy. But I got the part.
ceddy nash (Sacramento, CA)

Ludacris (12:08 PM)

Would you ever wanna do a song with Shaq Diesel? Regardless of whether he's actually good or not, he definitely generates headlines when he does them.
Ludacris (12:09 PM)
I actually did do a song with the rapper Shaq Diesel, it just never came out.
Bryant (Harrizburg, PA)
