Terry Crews doesn’t start his day until his workout is done. We're not ones to interfere with a man and his morning sweat, so we decided to interview Terry during his workout.

Cut to: Terry in a plank position, bracing for added weight in the form of a small goat leaping onto his back.
“It FEELS cute!” says Terry, as the goat settles and sits on his lower back, to many “oohs” and “awws” of our production team.
