--------
In this clip, legendary actor Fred Williamson shared some sage advice with fellow star Michael Jai White. Demonstrating a comedically light-hearted yet compelling conversation about the nuances of performance and identity, these veteran heroes of the Hollywood industry began their chat discussing a humorous coincidence involving a T-shirt, leading to a more insightful dialogue about maintaining authenticity and presence on and off screen.
Williamson emphasized the importance of avoiding speech tendencies that may diminish perceived presence and representation, suggesting White maintains a balanced voice that best translates his inner strength. The iconic actor, affectionately known as "The Hammer," related this back to his own experience, recalling advice he received early in his career: to be cautious of letting certain speech habits undermine his impressive physical presence.
Relating it back to his own experiences, White brought up the dichotomy of "code-switching," the linguistic term for adjusting one's manner of speaking according to the audience, and how its use could sometimes be a coping mechanism. This thought-provoking conversation spanned a hearty discussion on maintaining personal image both onscreen and off.

Seeing them together is a beautiful thing. Pride is in the building.

@vladtv

I usually cut out behind-the-scenes footage like this, but seeing the energy between these two was something that I felt everyone should see.

@darkart.customs9920

These 2 need to do a movie together and what would be really cool is if it was filmed in the 70s era... Give me a thumbs up if you all agree how awesome that team up would be 👍🏽👍🏽

@goldenbaby3608

Fred Williamson represents that raw black masculinity, and it's so missing today

@Dynasty19

This was actually incredible I’m sure the respect MJW has for this man is through the roof

@Anthony-je7dn

Black excellence and history at its finest and highest 🙏🏾

@ChandoisGainesjr-fn9vr

The look on Michael Jai white face. Trying not 2 cry. Seeing his hero!

@americangoldking

Black Male energy on full display Williamson is a HERO LIKE RON ONEAL

@marcorios6806

Michael J White is a respectable person and was raised correctly by his parents. He allowed the elder Mr Hammer 🔨 to offer up some knowledge and Michael respectfully was open to it. Some men would have surely failed that test by allowing their stupid ego to force them to become argumentative towards the elder person offering up some gems 💎. Good stuff Michael 👍🏽. My hat 🧢 comes off for you Michael, my respect to you. Next time I see you at the gym hitting the heavy bag (which I did see you there a few years back at LA Fitness gym in Valencia) I’m gonna fist bump 👊🏽 you to show my respect. Good stuff

@styner3

"Three the hard Way" at the time was incredible because each guy was the man in their movies and to come together was mind blowing. Great times.

@MagnoliaSupreme

Cold shit. You can tell Fred knows he been The Man all his life

@MrErBodyLOOKIN

This is a example of Respect ✊🏽 love ❤️ and honor for your hero’s

@NolanDaddy

The opening of Hell Up In Harlem is top 5 openings of all time !!! Thank you grandma for exposing me to the classics ❤

@chalay2010

It's dope to see them together. Putting on the "Black" voice is to comfort ppl. Just talking in your normal tone all day can make ppl feel like you aren't interested or that you have a problem with them. My normal voice gets me told that I'm depressed 😂😂😂 so I tend to go a lil higher or show enthusiasm

@j.winsor5435

How cool was that. MJW fanboying is the coolest thing I've ever seen on VLADTV.

@jackiewilliams6061

This is one of Vlad's best videos. Seeing Michael and Fred together reminds me of hanging out with my granddadddy.

@bayleafcreativetv9627

For Fred Williamson to be in his 80s in great spirits…his right mind…and in good health is beautiful man

@DatOneGuy901

Hammer reminds me of my uncle so bad..the style of dress and the mannerism the hair...all of it

@TheSteelCityStorm

This is the greatest interview you have ever done two of my idols, the old school, and the new era. I would give anything to be in that room and get a picture with them both !
