Bar Paly & Ken Jeoung Interview

Pain & Gain is the latest action-packed thrill ride from director Michael Bay. Starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, the film is based on a 1999 series of Miami New Times articles about the brutal kidnapping, extortion, torture, and murder of several victims by an organized group of criminals that included a number of bodybuilders. Also starring in the film are model/actress Bar Paly and funny man Ken Jeong, who say they still can’t believe that these events actually took place.

Tribute.ca spoke with Bar and Ken in Miami about their initial reactions to the script, working with Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson and how one actually auditions for Michael Bay.
