Q&a Jack Black

SI: Your on-screen physique is always top-notch. Other than waxing your entire body, what kind of training did you have to endure to play Nacho?

Black: I got with this guy named Tom. He wouldn't tell me his secret identity because wrestlers in the Lucha Libre [Mexican pro wrestling] world keep that on the DL. He trained me in L.A. for a few weeks. Taught me the basics. He said, "Holy crap. You're a natural." I don't know if that's what you say just to get someone's confidence up, but I suspect he was being honest and that I am awesome at wrestling.

SI: You developed some of your own moves. Tell us about the Wind of a Lion.

Black: It's basically a submission hold. You get the guy down. You sit on his face. And then you release the lion's wind. That usually spells complete defeat. No one so far has survived.

SI: Is there anyone in Hollywood you'd love to get in the ring?

Black: I should take down someone who is strong. It's no good if I take down Screech. That doesn't make me look any better. So Steven Seagal, with his ridiculous Indian gear, ponytail and swagger. He's the best fighter in the world in his own mind, so I'll take him down two notches with my Anaconda Squeeze and Face Melter.

SI: Name one athlete you could play on screen.

Black: Who is the fattest player in the baseball right now? Wait a second. It might not be politically correct, but I could do Barry Bonds . Jack Black is Barry Bonds .

SI: You love the NBA . Is this Miami 's year?

Black: Yes. The only way they could be beaten is if Phoenix and Dallas joined forces and created a superteam. And it was called Phallas.
