Tony Cox Recalls Working with Eminem on “Just Lose It” Music Video

Veteran actor Tony Cox recently sat down with The Art Of Dialogue to reflect on his experience working alongside Eminem on “Just Lose It” music video. Recalling the initial offer and arriving on set, he said, “I got requested to do music video with Eminem which I was glad. I didn’t know Eminem but he was a big fan of me. When I came on the set he wanted like 12 pictures of me for his boys. He was just so nice and it was a scene where he wanted to pick me up and I don’t usually let people pick me up. But he didn’t ask. He had one of his guys to ask if it would be okay and I said, you sure you can pick me up? I was kind of heavy. And he said, yeah, I got you.”

He continued by detailing a generous gesture from the Detroit legend that followed shortly after filming the scene. He said, “He told me he really like Bad Santa. I didn’t know he was such a fan. And after that shot, I was leaving and his secretary came up and said, ‘Look, he wants you to go in his warehouse and pick out anything you want.’ I didn’t get the chance to go cause of the movie I was doing but I really wanted to go and get some of his wardrobe.”

He added further context regarding his personal boundaries and why he made a rare exception for Eminem during the shoot. He said, “People have a thing a thing about picking little people up, they think its cute or something but that’s just something I don’t play but I let Eminem do it.”
