Ice-T, the former US Army soldier-turned-gangsta rap founder-turned actor spoke with OK! from Jay-Z’s 40/40 Club. A New York resident and lifelong New York Giants fan, the 49-year-old and his wife CoCo were there to host a Giants Super Bowl party, sponsored by Tupperware, with proceeds going to the Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Seated with CoCo in a private lounge inside the club, Ice spoke about everything – from Tupperware’s O.G. credentials to a pride in his city that goes beyond the winner of a football game.

How did you and CoCo meet?
I met CoCo on a movie set. I was in a bad mood, and my boys knew I was grumpy. They saw her and introduced me to her to try and cheer me up.
