Director Michael Bay tends to get as much explosive power promoting his movies as he puts into them — and that means a lot of dynamite action. Indeed, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and his ‘Ambulance’ co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Eiza Gonzalez have been happy to light fuses everywhere they go in promoting the film.
Take following two posts from Abdul-Mateen. He’s looking spectacular in black from head-to-toe in Paris, where he tells fans “The Love in Paris was real” for the ‘Ambulance’ premiere there.
Next up is Abdul-Mateen and company in Berlin, where he is rocking a virtually all-white ensemble that has image consultant Brandon Rutley praising Mateen. “You went crazy with this look,” Rutley writes, adding fire emojis to clarify that, in this case, crazy is a high compliment.
Actor Woody McClain chimes in, saying of Abdul-Mateen: “He don’t miss.” Neither very often does design legend Alexander McQueen, who shares the credit.
Bay is guaranteed to amp the edge-of-seat action every time, and “Ambulance” — out in theaters April 8 — already looks to rate an 11 on an action scale of 1-to-10. But even if it gets to 11, it may have trouble competing with the slam dunks that Abdul-Mateen’s style is throwing down all over Europe.
