Kitten, please

Jason Mitchell returns to theatres in Keanu, opening Friday (April 29). Was the Straight Outta Compton star more excited to work with Keanu masterminds Key & Peele or co­star Method Man? “Wow, I don’t really know!” Mitchell told the Straight. “It’s equally fulfilling. Method Man and I, we’ve built a real, real relationship, and it’s the same thing with Jordan and Keegan. Working with them is one thing, but now we have a lifelong friendship. It’s crazy! I gotta pinch myself every day, for sure.” Keep your eyes peeled for our full interview.
