Q: What childhood drama are you still trying to get over?
CEDRIC: I think that was really the real message of the film, going back and seeing it. I used to be ticklish. I just can’t remember, I had an uncle. Well, he was actually my cousin but he would tickle me until I peed on myself. As I got older, I just really thought that wasn't funny because I was 16, 17 years old and he would still try to walk up and tickle me. I just thought that was inappropriate. Back then, we didn't have numbers we could call or nothing like that. So recently, I talked to him and I just told him, "You know, remember when you used to try to tickle me 'til I peed on myself all the time, why was that so funny to you?" And he just said, "I just thought it was funny. I didn't even think about it." For real, I was like 14 years old and I'm walking around with pee stains on because I would laugh. So that was one thing about family I didn’t appreciate.
Q: What about the pee problem?
CEDRIC: I matured. I drank a moderate amount of water and I don't let people tickle me no more. I don't take the chance so even now when somebody tries to tickle me, for real, when somebody tries to tickle me to this day, I'm actually very defensive about it. I don't know why but that's one of those things that stays in your head even as an adult. I don't even play like that. Don't tickle me. Don't do it, don't do it.
