A Madea Christmas Star: "There's a Madea in Every Family"
He may not be an elderly Black woman from the South, but Larry the Cable Guy understands Madea. In fact, the comedian and co-star of A Madea Christmas often feels like he's the Madea of his own family.
"Every family has one, and should!" he says of the iconic — and often outrageous — matriarch, played famously by Tyler Perry.
In our exclusive interview, the actor also gives us insight into how Perry is able to slip so effortlessly into the character. "Madea is a big part of him," says Larry. "It's what he grew up with."
Larry the Cable Guy also chats with us about the film, working with Perry and his own family background.
