Ice-T Mocks Waleed Aly’s ‘Square’ Questions in Live Interview

Ice-T is in Australia filming his new movie. 

And the legendary American rapper appeared on local show The Project on Tuesday night, where he was faced with a question he found, well, uncool. 

The Law and Order: Special Victims Unit star, whose real name is Tracy Marrow, was quizzed by host Waleed Aly as to why he has the word ‘Ice’ in his moniker.  

‘Everybody wants to be cool. You know what I’m saying? Being ice is the epitome of cool’ the 67-year-old said.

‘So, you know, I’m Ice-T and I’m not ice tea to drink, I’m Ice capital T. My name starts with a T, my real name is Tracy’ he continued.

‘So, you know, I was like considered Cool T. I was named after Iceberg Slim. My friends call me Iceberg. They call me Berg.’

While the actor answered the question graciously, when he was then asked by another of the show’s hosts if questioning the use of ‘ice’ in his name was itself an uncool thing to do. 

In response, Ice-T left Waleed blushing as he mocked him.  

‘Yeah. I would say that, you know… That’s kind of a question you get from a real life square’ he said in deadpan. 

Waleed’s co-stars giggled madly as Waleed was left scrambling to recover among the unbridled laughter, and couldn’t manage a reply. 

Ice is in Australia shooting the Australian action comedy Zombie Plane on the Gold Coat in Queensland.  

It tells the story of high-profile celebrities fighting Zombies on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles.

It stars also Chuck Norris, Vanilla Ice, Sir Bob Geldof, Brian Austin Green and Sophie Monk as fictitious versions of themselves.

Australian stars Natalie Bassingwaithe, Cody Simpson, Kyle Sandilands, Matt Okine, Dan Ewing and Amy Shark are also set to appear in the film.

Star Sophie Monk described the movie as a madcap ride that she was delighted to be a part of. 

‘I was like please let me in,’ the Aussie actress and singer told the Gold Coast Bulletin recently. 

‘I got ADD and I read the whole script in one go – it’s fun, silly and it’s right down my alley.’

In terms of what people can expect she said: ‘It’s just fun – the type of movie I can watch and just chill out to.’

Ice-T started his rap career in the 1980s before adding to his resume with an extensive television and film career.  

He shares nine-year-old daughter, Chanel, with his wife Coco Austin, who he married in 2002. 

Chanel, Ice-T also has two adult children from previous relationships. 

He welcomed his oldest child, 48-year-old daughter LeTesha Marrow, when he was still in high school and dating her mother Adrienne, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight over the years. 

He and his ex-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz later welcomed a son, Tracy Marrow Jr., 33. 

Ice-t and his ex met on the set of Breakin’ in 1984 and went on to date for 17 years, until 2000.
