Ludacris & Lil Rel Howery Interview: Dashing Through the Snow & Fast & Furious
0When it comes to Christmas, Disney+ is giving grown-ups a reason to believe in Dashing Through the Snow. Starring Chris Bridges, a.k.a. Ludacris, and Lil Rel Howery as Santa Claus, this new duo is taking viewers on a wild sleigh ride that's sure to cure your Claus-trophobia.
In the movie, directed by Tim Story, Ludacris plays Eddie Garrick, a social worker who doesn't like Christmas after a traumatic childhood experience. Unfortunately for Eddie, his daughter Charlotte (played by Madison Skye Validum) loves Christmas, and his ex-wife (Teyonah Parris) has requested he take her out for Christmas Eve. When the two of them meet up with a strange man claiming to be Santa Claus (Howery), they embark on a magical adventure that may just restore Eddie's Christmas spirit.
While talking with Collider's Steve Weintraub, Ludacris and Howery share why they're excited for a new generation to be introduced to their work with Dashing Through the Snow, which scenes they were most anxious to film, and their favorite holiday movies to watch every year. Howery also shares what it's like donning the suit and beard in the hot Atlanta summertime, but why this opportunity to play Saint Nick is so meaningful and why he hopes to join the long line of memorable Santas before him. Check out the full interview in the video above, or you can read the transcript below for all of this and what Ludacris knows about the next final installment in the Fast & Furious franchise.
