In the popular animated movie released in April 2023, Black provided the voice for Bowser.
Black recently teamed up with the Foo Fighters during a performance in Auckland, New Zealand on January 20. He helped the band cover AC/DC's "Big Balls" on stage.
Black was in town filming the upcoming Minecraft movie, which is how he ended up joining frontman Dave Grohl and the rest of the group for the lively performance.
Decked out in a tie-dyed shirt and shorts, Black performed the lyrics: “I’ve got big balls / Yes, I’ve got big balls / And they’re such big balls / Dirty big balls / And he’s got big balls / And she’s got big balls / But we’ve got the biggest balls of them all.”
Following this, Black encouraged the huge crowd to join in a sing-along to the chorus of AC/DC’s bold song, which was part of the band’s iconic 1976 album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.
