Norwood is taking the botched stunt in stride.Ā He appeared on ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to explain what went wrong.
"The plan was, he was supposed to come slow towards me, and I was going to jump on the hood and continue dancing," Norwood told the late-night show hostĀ Monday night.
"I see," Kimmel said.
"It went left," Norwood said. "It went left. OK. He came fast and, you know, he's driving, so he can't hear me say, 'Stop.' So, I'm like, 'Oh my God, this is it.'"
Norwood joked that he is the most famous person in Florida, which he is hoping to parlay into a viral video career.
"We've figured out we can get paid for this --Ā harming our bodies on video,"Ā Norwood told the Palm Beach Post. "This is the dream!"
