This is not a GQ Video...... THIS IS JUST A TRIBUTE
-
I'd submit that Po (Kung Fu Panda) is also one of his most iconic roles. He absolutely MADE that character!
-
Hearing him talk so passionately about School of Rock makes me tear up. It was and is such a special film to me as a kid and now! I love that he seems to feel similarly about it
-
Jack Black just seems like he’d be the most down to earth, nicest, carefree person you’d ever meet
-
It's so strange seeing Jack Black just speak calmly for 40 minutes straight lol.
-
In about ten years when his beard has gone fully white, Jack Black is gonna be able to play the most kickass Santa Claus of all time
-
I “met” Jack in Charlotte while he was filming Shallow Hal. I was a fan of The D at this point but he was still little known. I went to a hornets game on a weeknight. Quarter ends and I go to get a beer. I’m standing in the long line (yes NBA had long lines back then, and I turn around and he’s standing there. I did a double take and caught his eyes. He recognized that I recognized him. He put his arms up in a TRex pose, hissed at me then glided off to another line.
-
Jack and Kate are still one of the best on-screen couples there is. What an incredible romance put to film.
-
I hope Jack Black realizes that the Mexican community absolutely loves him for his Nacho Libre role.
-
Jack Black is the anti-cringe. He can make anything sound exciting and cool.
-
It's really moving to me that Jack uses the present tense when he speaks about Robin Williams and Jumanji. It's a small thing but it feels large in the sense that it's like he's keeping Robin at the table with us, right now, and always. Classy and heart felt.
-
I love how complimentary Jack Black is. He describes everyone he ever worked with as incredible. This is the kind of attitude that makes him so magnetic, and we need more of it in the world.
-
Never seen him emotional. He was almost gonna cry talking about school of rock. I don't know how I feel about that.
-
Notice how jack always has something nice to say about anyone he’s worked with or met. And it’s never generic, it’s always a unique quality. You can tell he’s really just a genuine, nice guy.
-
To any rock/metal fan, The Pick of Destiny truly is an iconic movie. The story and the music is very enjoyable, and it is very relatable for so many people...
-
Can we talk about how positive JB is about all the directors and cast mates he worked with? He’s such a positive human being.
-
As an avid listener of rock and roll, School of Rock isn’t just a great comedy. It’s a love letter to an entire genre of music. I think that’s why it will always be a classic.
-
School of Rock made me pick up the guitar at age 13. I've been playing for 14 years now. Thank you, Jack Black, for helping me discover the world of making music. I owe it all to you.
-
It’s crazy the legacy that Jack Black is leaving. My mom loved him in High Fidelity and Shallow Hal, High Fidelity is still her favorite movie ever. I’m obsessed with School of Rock and Tenacious D, I’ve seen The D live 4 times. My daughter watched the Mario movie and has been singing Peaches and talking about Bowser for a month nonstop, even while I was watching this she recognized his voice and said “is that bowser??” He truly has something for everyone and I’m so grateful for him.
-
Honestly still hoping for the long awaited Tenacious D movie sequel. We've had the insanity that is their animated special, I want to see what they can do on big screen.
