Common appeared on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” last Thursday, and the Grammy Award-winning rapper and actor discussed Just Wright, his new romantic comedy co-starring Queen Latifah, as well as his early acting experiences. He also talked about his mother and the example she set for him, getting in shape for the film, meeting Michael Jordan and his relationship with tennis superstar Serena Williams.

Common also admitted to Ellen on Thursday that he’s not the most pleasant person to be around when Serena is on the court.

“I sit there, and I’m just tense…and people try and talk to me, and I tell them to be quiet. I don’t care who is there. I’m focused on this tennis match.”
