Yahya Abdul-Mateen II: Man on Fire, Oakland, Michael Bay, Keanu Reeves

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II sat down with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson ahead of his Netflix debut in Man on Fire, where he steps into the iconic role made famous by Denzel Washington. Yahya breaks down what it takes to fill those shoes, shares stories about Keanu Reeves, Michael Bay, Lisa Bonet, and gives his take on the future of Hollywood. And when we found out he hooped in high school? You already know we had to go there.
