Brewer on working with Tyler Perry
“Working with Tyler Perry is one of my favorite things about ‘Bruh.’ It is great and intense to work with him,” he admitted.
“I definitely learned a lot from him about work ethic and where I need to go. I tried to absorb every single thing he did like a hawk. It is really an honor and a pleasure. I am grateful for this opportunity was blessed with.”
Synopsis of Season 4 of ‘Bruh’
In the fourth season, the bruhs draw closer to one another leaning on the strength of true brotherhood. We encounter a season full of life lessons and “Man in the mirror” moments.
Each of the bruhs must look at themselves and honestly evaluate what they want and what holds them back from getting what they want.
This season, accountability is a running theme, and while some of the guys may not be happy with the consequences, they continue to love and support one another through it all.
“We filmed Season 4 a while ago, so I am excited that it is out,” he admitted. “I am excited to see what happens because I totally forgot what I filmed,” he said with a sweet laugh.
“I feel like a kid in a candy store and I am loving how it all came together,” he added.
Playing John in ‘Bruh’
On playing John, Brewer said, “I like how’s John’s relationship is developing with his mother and his brothers. He is starting to learn the lessons of the world. John is growing that way, and I like that about him. He is adapting, and learning to adapt, to all the differences in the world.”
