HW: Did you have any injuries on this one?
BF: Not on this one, ha-ha! [laughs] No, I went into it strong and I did not limp across the finish line. It took me three times but I figured it out.
HW: Kids must love you after George of the Jungle and the Mummy series.
BF: I love kids, my kids, I like going to their schools and stuff. Before I had them, every now and then I'd look down in an airport and one of them would be stuck to my leg like burrs on your sock and you go walking in tall grass. Their mothers are normally near by [laughs].
HW: Would you consider doing a fourth Mummy?
BF: Ask me in a little while and see if I have enough fluid left in my knees [laughs]. I'm open to it, it was good fun. There's a nod and a wink in these movies all the time. I think that's probably why people like them because we were never taking ourselves too seriously while we were making it in terms of "This is an horror film," No, this is a comedy, but there is a scare. It's just sort of a Boo scare, amusement park style, funhouse kind of thing.
