Tyler Perry Says Goodbye To Madea at 'A Madea Family Funeral' NYC Premiere!

Tyler Perry keeps it cool and casual while attending the premiere screening for his latest film A Madea Family Funeral held at the SVA Theater on Monday (February 25) in New York City.

The 49-year-old actor was joined at the event by his co-stars Patrice Lovely, KJ Smith, Quinn Walters, Rome Flynn and David Otunga.

The new Madea film is the 11th and final for the writer-producer-director: “I don’t want to be her age playing her, so it was time to shut it down and move on,” Tyler told THR. “I’ve got some other things I want to do, and in this next 50, I’m going to do something different.”

“It’s always going to be open-ended because what you don’t want to do is murder a family member,” Tyler added. “And a lot of people feel like she’s a family member.”
