Morgan: ‘I had to be funny’

The Cop Out star grew up on the mean streets of The Bronx, New York across the street from hustler-turned-rapper Jay-Z and admits life was tough.

To make matters worse he had a handicapped brother and few fighting skills.

He says, “My older brother has cerebral palsy… When the kids sometimes could be mean in the school yard and they pick on you, I couldn’t go get my big brother, so I had to learn how to make the bullies laugh.

“I knew I was funny when the bullies were on my side and they protected me.”
