Funnyman Martin Lawrence dons the fat suit once again for another adventure as Big Momma and this time, he must go undercover at an all-girls school to hide out his step-son the only way he knows how - in drag. For Martin Lawrence, wearing the Big Momma outfit was easier the third time around so he had some advice for his young co-star Brandon T. Jackson (Tropic Thunder) on wearing a fat suit. "I told him to sit still," said the Bad Boys star who has plenty of experience acting in costume.
Martin Lawrence has taken a liking to dressing as a woman for laughs.

Martin also confirmed a Bad Boys sequel with Will Smith are in the works with director Michael Bay (Transformers) and producer Jerry Bruckheimer (Pirates of the Caribbean) as part of the returning team. He promises a lot more explosions. "They like to blow things up so I know we'll be up blowing stuff," he said with a laugh. He hopes they keep the story in Miami for the third time.
