Gabrielle Union covers Vegas Magazine
Posted by Media Outrage on March 17th, 2008
Gabrielle Union spoke with Vegas Magazine recently….
Via Vegas Magazine:
“Anyone who has known me for a long time calls me Nikki. It has just been Nikki, literally since birth. I answer a lot faster.”
And if you think you saw the actress on Robertson Boulevard, the West L.A. thoroughfare with trendy boutiques and paparazzimagnet restaurants like the Ivy–it probably wasn’t her.
“You don’t go on Robertson unless you’re having a bad day or you’ve lost a lot of weight, [Or] I’ve had a crisis and I need to show that I’m happy and well adjusted. But a lot of psychologists are on Robertson, so some people can’t help it. My marriage counselor was on Robertson. ‘I’m here to show off my new boobs–there’s nothing wrong with my marriage.’ ”
Union is clearly more relaxed than she would have been on the other side of the hill–even on the subject of her marriage to former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Howard, which ended in 2006. “If it was a bad divorce it would be different,” she says. “We never had attorneys. Everyone’s like, ‘You’re a little too happy, maybe you should seem more somber.’ I feel almost bad! It helps that my ex-husband and I are best friends. I talk to him every day.”
Gabrielle takes her fair share of the blame for the split, attributing it more to her career than anything else. “It’s not about, Do I love you or not? It’s, Am I even home enough? And when you’re home, you’re studying for auditions, preparing for meetings, preparing for work. Or you’re at work and you’re gone for 19 hours a day.”
With a substantial variety of television and film roles on her resume, Union has built a career many actors would envy. Her latest films include The Box, an indie crime drama in which she plays a tough detective, and Starship Dave, a sci-fi comedy. While Gabrielle candidly says it points more to the fact that she “can’t really be choosy” rather than any artistic urge, she is selective about projects, just not in the way that most actors would be.
