Martin Lawrence Is All About 'Enjoying the Fruits of My Labor' as He Turns 60: 'I Done Did It All'

Martin Lawrence, who stars in the new animated film 'Sneaks,' tells PEOPLE about turning 60 and 'spreading love' at this stage of his career.

Centering on the story of Ty (Mackie) and his sister Maxine (Bailey), a pair of coveted sneakers that get separated during a robbery attempt, the movie touches on themes of resilience and togetherness, elements that Lawrence says feeds into its family-friendly nature — and why his kids love it. The Bad Boys star acknowledges the importance of balancing his famous off-the-cuff humor with projects that the whole family can enjoy. Having stepped into the project during early storyboarding, he wasn't aware initially of how his voice acting would translate into the final product.
