The Real Reason You Don't Hear From Martin Lawrence Anymore
Ойын-сауық
Martin Lawrence was one of the most popular comedians of the 1990s and early 2000s. He began his career in comedy as a stand-up comedian in Washington D.C.
It was not until he moved to New York City and got his breakthrough role on Spike Lee’s acclaimed movie Do The Right Thing, however, that Lawrence started gaining prominence for his work. In the '90s, he starred on his own sitcom, Martin, and became a movie star when he starred alongside Will Smith on the hit action-comedy Bad Boys.
Lawrence had a streak of hit movies in the late '90s and 2000s but his career has since waned. Don’t put it past Lawrence to make a comeback but here’s the real reason you don’t hear from Martin Lawrence anymore.

MARTIN LAWRENCE IS A GOOD MAN ,I SHOOK HIS HAND ONCE AT A RESTAURANT IN WEST HOLLYWOOD WHILE HE WAS GETTING READY FOR DINNER.I WAS HIS BUSBOY AND MADE SURE HE WAS TAKEN CARE OF..GREAT GUY.
Martin Lawrence doesn't have to do another thing in his entertainment life. This man is a living legend and the fact that hes not seen everyday diminishes nothing.
let's not leave out when he was holding a pistol that he was also screaming "they're trying to kill me". Don't try to make it like he just had a mental breakdown for no reason. 🤦♂️

But yeah, you're right about that but I actually think at this point in their career, Bad Boys 3 will finally start full production...shit, we've waited long enough lol.

Just imagine if social media was big back then! Martin Lawrence was just like Kevin Hart if not bigger
Also, Hollywood offers one to two slots max for their pick(s) of black funny man. Kevin Heart is their current allowance. Before him it was Dave Chapelle, then Chris Tucker, then Chris Rock & Martin and before that Eddie Murphy. The order might be off, but you get the message. Look at how well Tyler Perry is doing, he's self funded, doesn't need to bow down.

How about the actors themselves? You guys are the ones giving value to this cesspool. If the actors wanted, they could work outside Hollywood. They could give up the glitz and you could watch their other movies. But you wanna both have the cake and eat it. We know Hollywood is a dark place filled with filth and secrets and its cinematic artist merits are long gone. So, stop supporting it and accepting your favorite actors only if they stay inside that deprave system.
These people are definitely some critics/foold if they think an Martin Lawrence's movie was bad

Black Knight was hilarious! It's one of my favorite Martin Lawrence films. The scene where he's in the court trying to get the minstrels to play a song and they end up playing Dance to the Music. GOLD. That was a great movie. Underrated and maybe under-appreciated. I've come across a ton of people lately that love the movie giving it a fat thumbs up.
Loved National Security & Black Knight
