The Most Surprising Thing About Michael Bay, According to Ambulance Star
Ambulance star Eiza Gonzalez reveals the most surprising thing about working with Michael Bay. The filmmaker started in the 1990s by directing music videos for artists like Meat Loaf, Aerosmith, and Lionel Richie, which caught the attention of producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who selected him to helm his first feature-length film, the buddy-cop classic Bad Boys. Bay followed that up with several big-budget, high-concept action films like The Rock and Armageddon, leading to some of his most well-known work on the Transformers franchise, directing the first five installments in the series.

The high-octane thriller stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen as two adoptive brothers who rob a bank and hijack an ambulance during their ill-fated getaway, taking two hostages. One of them is an EMT onboard the ambulance named Cam Thompson, played by Eiza Gonzalez.
