In an interview with Speakeasy, a blog of The Wall Street Journal, Method Man was asked if he'd seen the "Notorious" biopic (he hadn't - "I don't like death at all," he said) and he also shared this story:

What was [The Notorious B.I.G.] like in real life?

He was hilarious, man. Once when we went inside this airport [in North Carolina]. There was a lady at the security gate and Big went through and �beep beep beep� and he�s telling the lady, �Look, I got a bullet in me, so the machine�s gonna keep going off. Why don�t you pat me down?� And she was like �No just keep going through the machine.� And he kept going through and through�I just thought that was f�- hilarious�After a while you�d forget he was fat or had those googly-eyes, you�d just see a funny motherf�� �I think Big would have been big on screen.
