Tyrese Gibson joined his fellow actors on stage and joked about how a lot of the scenes were improvised by the cast, who shared a lot of laughs on set.

Gibson said: “I’d like to say the jokes were all written out, but a lot of it is us reacting to each other. Diesel shows up with his pecs all out, we might make a joke about cleavage.”
