Inside Terry Crews' LA Man Cave | Open Door | Architectural Digest

hey guys how you doing come on in welcome to the terry crews office welcome you can hang your coat on his little hand that i have here it's a little guy you know i have a white man that just stands there all day holding the coats i like this this is good you know what i mean what's up brother okay i am a big book guy i love books on art design and when i come here i literally just grab a book off the shelf and it inspires so many ideas this is another thing that i'm working on this is some frozen breakfast yogurt called barry cruz a commercial for barry cruz would be something like it's yogurt okay lots of screaming lots of yelling you know what i do you know i have a boxing glove signed by the great sugar ray leonard globetrotter basketball i got a little bit that's about it also these are some of the things you get when you're an actor these are the things that you give to your kids later and they sell them when you're dead this right here is an amazing like limited edition deal for idiocracy that was done for me by the great shepherd fairy i played president camacho in that movie which was so cool and it's really really indicative of what's happening in our country right now [Music] the bedroom sometimes the family and i come down here and we hang out for the weekend you know what i mean we have the kids we got parties we have whatever and if you want to stay the night you just come collapse it's no big deal this bed was made by my good friend nolan new and i got to give props because he's actually been one of my design inspirations i love my wallpaper the gold wallpaper this is also still an office i call this my fortress of solitude like superman i come here and it seems to be so much quieter being above the city and it inspires me this is a place where you can do video you can do animation you can do all kinds of things uh because i'm into everything i am i got it clean cause i knew you guys were coming but it gets really really messy because when you're in that creative mode you gotta flow you can't stop it this right here is an amazing piece by my man eric scott is i have five kids i've been married 28 years i love being a dad and this is called the father and that's one thing that i am i'mma roll this thing up i am a big view guy look at that there's even a sign out there that says jesus saves you feel like you're in heaven and my lovely wife this is rebecca say hello how are you hi baby thanks for letting me hang out i know this is his place but i have one contribution my pillow that's right that's right do not forget that you have a queen and the queen has a say that's it this is one of the things i'm probably most proud of lip sync battle champion right there engraved in it oh there's another one of those things your kids are going to sell when you die i don't do a lot of cooking in here simply because you're downtown l.a but there's times when you know i break out the cereal this is my cheat day see this is the stuff y'all didn't know about terry crews oh the i keep this down here so y'all don't know when i'm over here and i'm like this right here is an actual blueprint of my design of the ibis sofa that i did for bernhardt this was based on the ibis bird which is like this ancient egyptian bird that was always featured in all the hieroglyphics so when you look at the sofa you see the outstretched wings of the bird in kind of a silhouette that's what design is about just taking out the extraneous stuff believing in what's necessary this is the logo for my company a lot of times people can't read it because i wanted it to feel like old world i wanted to feel like it was like biblical you know but the company's name is amen and amen this is the fashion wall more books big coffee table books now sometimes i'll change it up and it'll be an art wall or an animation wall whatever i'm feeling at that month or that time i also have to show you my lego i'm a big lego guy this is the batmobile that my son and i created together actually he watched the tv while i kind of put it all together here we are high above la when i come out here i often think about how it was when i first moved here i remember being down on the ground working security my first job in la was actually sweeping floors at a factory and it was one of those things where you didn't know are you going to make it or not are you going to be successful and when i look out and it just reminds me of you keep going up terry just keep rising you have to rise above adversity you have to rise above pain you have to rise above anything that can keep you down one thing about me i'm a big music fan i have to say i got my body by listening to beats and i put four of the probably the most influential albums that have really changed the way i view the world up on the wall tribe called quest epmd de la soul and public enemy right here man and these are the original techniques that i got years ago and they're the real deal and it all works for real i'm just not that good [Music] uh yes this was a show that i hosted called world's funniest fails and it went for two seasons it was so much fun but you see it's all about failure to me finding success of what i do is just not being afraid to fail and letting it go and having fun [Music] this right here it's kind of the kid's room but it's like my because i'm the big kid i come in here when it really gets childish okay i keep the toys the iron giant is one of my favorite movies of all time stormtroopers over there and star wars wallpaper boba fett darth vader all in this beautiful wallpaper that's absolutely gorgeous this actually has texture to this wallpaper my son and i we come here we play games and it's actually an old spice themed pc if you look at it it has actual tube of old spice deodorant inside the pc which blows my mind it's absolutely incredible also i do have my own video game coming out called crackdown 3. so 2018 you will be able to play cherry crews be careful just be careful what you have me doing that's all i got to say all right the cool thing about this whole wall here when you move these things out of the way and you pull this down the whole bookshelf and the whole deal becomes a bed and this is where my kids hang out it's one of the coolest things ever and it's the best use of space ever and bam it's done this is the coolest thing ever i'm telling you i love it [Music] all right guys thank you so much for coming to my private office i really really thank you hopefully you feel inspired hopefully you feel creative and hopefully you know it's time to go bye guys
