Key quotes
· 3 pulledI'm sad about it, but I'm also really grateful. We had a hell of a run.
The stunts just won't be on the movie screen anymore. I'll still do really dumb things with my friends.
This franchise gave me everything. It gave me a family, it gave me a career, it gave me memories I'll never forget.
