00:00Being Cassius Clay, Mohamed Ali, what does it mean for you and for all of you, what does it mean
00:07still today?
00:08I think for me, knowing how great he was and to be able to portray him and I think the
00:14idea of if I get that right
00:16and I hope it means that, you know, the potential of how great I can be in my career, but
00:22not in just my career, but in my life.
00:24I think that that question is to be determined, but yeah, it means I'm going to be a great.
00:31This one for me was a huge opportunity and it was a scary opportunity, but Mohamed Ali was my hero
00:39from a very young age
00:40and has been a lifelong hero and inspiration for me ever since.
00:44And so when I had the chance to tell the story, my first reaction, to be honest, was no way,
00:50I don't want to mess this up.
00:52But then the more I sat with that and the more I thought about my sort of mantra in life,
01:02possibly inspired by Mohamed Ali, is do the thing that scares you.
01:06It was just a story, obviously, about Cassius Clay, Mohamed Ali, but a story about greatness.
01:13It became an undeniable opportunity for me.
01:20I think that it was also just Angelo Dundee's fascination with Mohamed Ali, Cassius Clay.
