“If it were up to me … " Jackson told Kimmel of this year’s trip, before the host replied, “Are you telling me Magic is the guy that I have to convince?”
“Yeah, because the boat you wanna get on is, like, his boat,” said theAcademy Awardnominee.
And while there have “been years when” Jackson “was on that boat between four and six weeks,” he usually only goes for about two weeks now.
“I just rent another boat so my daughter and her friends can kick it in the summer,” Jackson told Kimmel. “So I’m not always there the whole time [on Johnson’s yacht], so there is room for you.”
