Martin Lawrence Is ‘Enjoying the Fruits of My Labor’ as He Turns 60 (Exclusive)

Martin Lawrence is living it up as he marks his milestone 60th birthday on Wednesday, April 16, in the midst of a busy career.

“I’m at that point now — I done did it all. So many things in my career and in my life and everything,” the actor tells PEOPLE in an interview for his new animated film Sneaks.

“Now it’s just about enjoying the fruits of my labor, doing what I want to do and spreading love.”

The actor voices J.B. in Sneaks, a new film from Ashland Hill and GFM Animation that also stars Anthony Mackie, Rico Rodriguez, Swae Lee, Chloe Bailey, Macy Gray, Ella Mai, Mustard, Roddy Ricch, Quavo, Laurence Fishburne and more stars.

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.

“They love all my work,” says the father of three. (Lawrence has three daughters: Jasmin, 29, Iyanna, 24, and Amara, 22.)

The Bad Boys star acknowledges the importance of balancing his famous off-the-cuff humor with projects that the whole family can enjoy. “Everybody can see [Sneaks],” he says. “And the kids can really enjoy it with their parents and they can see it more than once. It is just a fun film to be a part of.”

Lawrence is ecstatic that Sneaks “came out better than I thought.” Having stepped into the project during early storyboarding, he wasn’t aware initially of how his voice acting would translate into the final product.

“When I [first] looked at the animation, it wasn’t finished and everything, so I didn’t know what it was going to look like. Then when I saw the final project, I said, ‘Wow. Wow, this is a movie,’ ” he says.

Sneaks is in theaters April 18.
