Chris Tucker has been in serious talks with Ice Cube about reprising his role as SMOKEYYYYY … so says the guy who played DeBo in the “Friday” series.
Tiny Lister was chillin’ last night outside Pueblo Viejo in Hollywood — when the scariest man in Hollywood told TMZ … Tucker flew him out on his private jet recently to discuss the possibility of getting the ORIGINAL “Friday” crew back together.
FYI — Tucker shot into superstardom playing pot-obsessed Smokey in the original “Friday” back in 1995 … and then refused to appear in any of the sequels, citing religious reasons.
But now, Lister tells TMZ … Tucker and Cube have a big pow-wow set for next week to discuss a 4th “Friday” film … adding, “This is gonna be the big one.”
Lister also told TMZ he and Tucker also talked about doing a sequel to the 1997 hit, “The Fifth Element.”
