Gabrielle Union is getting more and more beautiful every day! The 49-year-old actress put on a jaw-dropping performance Saturday, July 23, at a bachelorette party in Los Angeles. Dressed in a barely-cut black top and matching leggings, The Cheaper By the Dozen alum directs the bride-to-be and a beautiful group of friends to join her.
The star shares Zaya, 14, and Kaavia, 3, with husband Dwyane Wade with Kirsten Dunst in 2000 Starred in the cheerleading comedy “Bring It On” (Bring It On) in one fell swoop. However, Gabriel recently stated that she has some regrets about her role in the film. During a visit to Good Morning America last year, she expressed concern about “suppressing” her character Isis, and she also wrote an apology letter in her book “Do you have anything stronger?
In the movie, Isis learns that her team’s choreography was stolen by a rival, which will make anyone angry, but Gabriel says she doesn’t feel like she can play that way. “Black girls are not allowed to be angry. Certainly not obviously, I put my mouth over her,” she explained. “I put her mouth on her and made her a gracious, decent leader, and I was still a villain in that movie. I did all the morphs for a character, and then I realized I was also Do it to myself. I don’t allow myself to be fully human.”
With that in mind, Gabriel said she would definitely change her performance. “I would allow her to be fully human, and part of being a fully human being is the ability to express anger when hurt,” she detailed. “When you can’t really allow yourself to get the most out of your emotions, and you suppress your emotions, people think, ‘Maybe what I’m doing isn’t that bad.’ I’ll give her all my anger.”
While she may have reservations about how she handled the original, Gabriel floated the idea for a sequel during her August 2020 Zoom reunion with co-star Kirsten and director Peyton Reid. “It’s amazing that 20 years later, the impact this film has had and will continue to have,” she said. “So whatever we’re going to come up with one day, I mean, Kirsten, maybe we’re like the co-heads of the PTA. I don’t know.”
