“All those kids — dig this — they were 10 years old when we made that movie and now they’re all, like, 30,” said the actor and musician. “We’re gonnaget together and have a 20-year anniversary.”
“We like to jam. I’m looking forward to seeing all of the grownups fromSchool of Rock,” Black added, going on to promise that he would “100 percent” share photos and videos from the reunion on social media when it happens.

“I think it was like a really funny trick they played on me, like we’re all gonna get dressed in character and then they didn’t and I can’t get it off now ‘cause like someone put super glue in there,” he said.
Black — who also rocked a Bowser-inspired ensemble to the movie’s premiere on Saturday — then turned to Key, 52, and added, “I am so mad at you!”
