The action man insists he doesn't need a day to pull stunts on his friends, and had his aide, Brad Slater, scrambling to try to prevent his client from becoming part of a tabloid headline after making an early morning call in December (14).

The Fast & Furious star says, "We were getting ready to make a big announcement for a movie and I called my agent. I was overseas... I woke him up in the middle of the night.

"I was like, 'Hey man, I gotta talk to you... I don't know how it happened, but my cousin... just got busted by prostitutes and my name is attached to it now, and it's all getting ready to hit the press'.

"He started freaking out... He was getting emotional. He said, 'I'm gonna be calm in the pocket. Hold on...!' I had him going and going and finally I said, 'Oh Brad, Brad, December Fools!'"
