- [BlackTree TV - Los Angeles] We sat down with the cast of Think Like A Man this past weekend, and while talking about all the relationship things that happen in the movie, we took a moment to talk about the recent murder in Sanford, Fl of Trayvon Martin. Check out what Gabrielle Union, Meagan Good, and Regina Hall have to say about the recent controversy.
A conversation with Kevin Hart set the stage for Gabrielle Union to join the cast. Says Union, "When I was shooting "Little In Common" with Kevin Hart he said 'Did you read Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man?' I was like 'No.' So Kevin passed [the script] off to me. I read it, I loved it and I was like how can we make this work?"
Packer was interested. "Gabrielle was somebody that I wasn't close to prior to this project," says Packer. "The project came up, her agent called and said 'Gabrielle Union would like to meet with you about it." Union's quick wit and sharp sense of humor won him over, so she was cast as Kristen, forever concerned about the slacker ways of her live-in boyfriend Jeremy.
"She's nearing that age and place in life where she wants to take things to the next level and really secure a solid commitment from Jeremy," says Union, who also reveals that Harvey's book was more than just a means to a movie role. "It has definitely helped in my dating life!"
When assembling an ensemble cast, Packer knew he had to bring out the most qualified and talented actresses in Hollywood. That meant ensuring Regina Hall was on board. "I just hit her direct and said, 'Reg, I got this project. Check it out. I want you to see it," says Packer. Hall, who plays Terrence J's love interest, Candace, loved the script.
"When I first read the script I thought it was hilarious," says Hall. "And being familiar with the book, listening to Steve Harvey's advice to women and sometimes applying it to my own life and then seeing how they've actually made it into a story that crossed all these different kinds of relationships and different issues in relationships--I thought it was really funny and touching at the same time. It had a lot of heart."
Harvey lays out the problems Hall's character faces: "This woman is faced with this guy that she's crazy about, but she's got to deal with the fact that wow, this guy loves his mother more than he loves life itself, so where do I fit in here? There are a lot of women who've had to grapple with that."
To round out the script's lead female roles, the filmmakers set their sights on Meagan Good. Explains Packer, "Megan and I worked together on Stomp The Yard. We kept in touch. We tried to work together a couple times, but her schedule or my schedule--it didn't really line up perfectly, but as soon as I knew that she had a window I could hit with this. I think she is one of the most talented and underrated young actresses in the game today."
Meagan was definitely interested and was cast as Mya, a beautiful single woman who employs one of Harvey's tactics -- the ninety-day rule -- to weed out players. "I read the script a couple months before and I fell in love with Mya," says Good. "She's the kind of girl who's looking for the right relationship and wants to be in love and wants the positive thing, but she always gives it up a little too soon. So this journey for her is about recognizing her self-worth and making sure that the person that she does choose recognizes her worth as well." A BlackTree Media Production Thank you for watching!

Michael Ealy.. dear god he is SO fucking attractive.
yes lawd
Who cares about him, megan good is the most attractive person in this video
My attention was on Michael Ealy the whole time! Damn that man is gorgeous, his eyes distracted me...lol
Actually, and most unfortunately, Gabrielle Union does care about her skin tone. She interviewed for a magazine and expressed how insecure she's been for years about what she percieves as a dark brown complexion. I was very shocked to read and believe that such a beautiful woman with such beautiful skin, would be insecure about her complexion. I hope that she's gotten over that because she's gorgeous.
LMFAO!!! Meagan good was all, "That's my boob, that's my boob!" 1:25
Three FINE ass woman where is my fine cougar taraji?!? 😳😳
Hi... Im Meagans makeup artist and on that particular interview, they were interviewing for 5 hours straight and he was the last interviewer before lunch. We were up and running early that morning so everyone was irritable and hungry and tired... and the guy asked sooo many questions. So theres your answer to your judgemental comment
I gotta get a smaller couch :)
michael is so lucky to be with those pretty women
@BlackTreeTv: Where is the rest of this interview can you post it please?
Seems like they were cutting interviewer off which was kind of rude, "Rap it up" and they didn't answer the Travyon question deep enough, I know it was a question they weren't expecting but none of them were trying to answer it first! ask them what shoes they bought last and believe that answer would of come out quick! but on a different note Meagan Good skin looks amazing as always!
Michael chilling like a baws!
Trayvon is 18 now his bday was in February
Happy late bday tray
love this movie!! can't get enough of it! can't wait for part TOO!
it's because she's in a relationship.. and this is outside of a movie scene, where she can't just say I'm doing this for the movie. That's real life.
Where is more of this interview?? Where Michael is sitting with the girls being interviewed
Did anybody else notice Michael Ealy looking into Gabrielle's shirt? @1:31
Gorgeous people across the couch..Black is beautiful.
I just saw the movie, good film! Wendy Williams and Kevin Hart was funny.
I'm white but think Gabrielle Union is one of the hottest women alive, regardless of skin color.
Context?
And the fact that generally speaking, I'm not really attracted to black women, usually. Don't really know why, just how it is.
what do u mean regardless of skin color? Don't u know black is beauty? smh
Lol Meagan looked all happy when Michael wrapped his arm around her and Gabrielle was all random lol
he know he fine dammmmn
just the way he was sittin
I learned in a song that BET, is posioning young black teens. "Wishing" ed O.G
Those ladies are sooo beautiful.
I cant believe this.......You see, actors and actresses must love their jobs...because...its just not fair for the middle class people to have to be tortured by this.
I agree with the comment below, couldn't have said it better myself.
where's taraji!!
Meagan can get it !
1:25 - 1:28 He knows he's sexy. And is he playing with Gabrielle's hair? So cute! Wow. So attractive and didn't even speak a word.
Because brown is really appropriate
Love this movie!
I'd switch places with Michael Ealy in about .5 seconds. Damn.
LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!
Don't be ridiculous. There is no one that is literally actually white nor yellow without some serious artificial intervention. And most people labeled as "black" are actually brown from light to dark
Damn he rocking purple daisy dukes
True.
What the hell did this have to do with Trayvon?? did they just use his publicity to get views unbelievable..
That was when she was younger
Nice!
My comment is not judgmental, I'm just stating it exactly as you can see it on here, I hear what you saying but it was about Travyon Martin so food or no food a question like that you cannot ignore..literally!
michael ealy is feelin his spot on that couch tho lol!! im not mad tho :)
black tree.tv...how many black chanels are there now?..ive lost track.LOL...
Meagan Good looks so beautiful. Damn.
What is better to say?
im mexican but got dammm thats some good looking black females right there
I LOVE MICHAEL EALY IT'S MY DREAM TO MEET HIM
What is it about hollywood that has people out of touch notice gabriel union towards the when there on the couch
I'm late seeing this interview, so don't know if this interview was after the verdict or before, but if it was after, I feel kind of disappointed that nobody on there said anything, really significant about what happened and how George Zimmerman just murdered one our teenagers and got away Scott free. They always profile. They profile me and I'm a grown woman. Had George Zimmerman kept his fat, white ass in the car, like he was told by the cops, he wouldn't have gotten a beat down and Trayvon Martin might still be alive. But on the other hand, the cops are capable of doing the same thing George Zimmerman did, without a reason. Only thing, if THEY did it, there wouldn't have even been a trial, let alone a guilty verdict. They killin us, they getting away with it and we're letting it happen.
On a different note..great makeup!
awww shit is Union??aww lord mercy
Ik I heard Her But Im Just Sayin They Were Joking With Each Other
the chick on the far right is fine as hell and i love seeing her in movies
Meagan
man he has pretty eyes and a sexy face
... What? No! It's a relevant, current issue. And some perceive it as a "Black issue." This being a Black movie, they're likely to talk about it. Haven't you ever watched an interview before? The movie isn't the ONLY thing they ever talk about - it's the primary topic and purpose of the interview, but if something is popular/current/relevant to whatever they're promoting or the people involved, it's usually talked about in the interview.
Plus, with this cast, I don't think they'd need that.
BLACK PEOPLE CMON...why the hell r we arguing bout skin tones especially somebody else's skin tone *not even ua own*?????? do you think that Gabrielle really cares whether shez dark, light, brown, green,blue,red??? i can bet ma lucky stars on it she don give a f***bout that...bottom line is that she beautiful PERIOD...some yall need 2 seriously get a life instead of aruing bout someone else skin tone like seriouss??? SHEZ BLACK THAT ALL THAT MATTERS DAMNNN ITTT!!!
I cannot believe Gabrielle Union is 40! She looks in her 30's not to mention she is really hot hot hot!
meagan good is just tooo damn pretty!
Here you go, "black people", please direct your comment at the person who made the comment and please do not attribute one persons opinion to a whole race. Obviously the commenter has issues and who knows, he/she may not even be black.
1:25
No He Didnt
meagan good is a Goddess
That is my point though. It's a classification of "race" that breaks apart with the tiniest probing. Why the hell do i classify myself or look at myself based on a color classification a random independent group of people came up with centuries ago that makes no logical sense? It never made sense back then and it still doesn't now and will not in the future. So why do i still have to adhere to it? Why does everyone adhere to it rather than calling it out for the bullshit it obviously is?
The woman all the way to the right, why is her face so shiny?
Wish I was that maroon tie... lol.
It seems she enjoys working her mouth muscles...LOL!
michael is a playa lol
why not say sexy women? why should it say sexy black women? Color and ethnicity should not matter beauty is beauty
LMBO!!!!
there beatifull
Gabrielle is too fine!!!!!
Megan good mary me!! lol
Micheals definatly hittn megan good lml or maybe all of them ahah
Gabrielle unioni so pretty
Thats rite brutha. Tell like it be. blame da white man!
Ladies what about a thressome?
That aint right.
Africa is a continent.
Europe is a continent
And you can find "multiracial" in both.
So what you say is non-sense. We are talking about colors of skin.
he's peng ting
look, chump. tired of you coming on here with your ignorance, blocked you once. if you have a problem with Gabrielle's skin, or anybody up there, than you have a problem with mines also. And no matter what color you are, you are a dummy. Get a life and get another channel to troll.
I hope it does really well check Lc johnson problems of the world
Im hatin on Michael Ealy..I need to be the one on that couch around those beautiful woman
why does megan do that with her mouth like pretty much in all her interviews.. so annoying
Michael is fine as hell :D
My Goood...Meagan Good...Ah! :D
scary
I cant be the only one to notice Gabrielle thighs
3rd hodge twin??
Damn Michael Ealy is mine😻💍
lmaooo!!
I pray that there will be more attention brought, to the Trayvon Martin case than there already is, zimmerman absolutely cannot get away with murdering a black teenager. Just cause he wanted, to racially profile Trayvon.
Megan!! mmm you are fine, girl. I saw this movie and I mean she was stunning...
I know ha ha
This whole "our "race" feels for each other etc." idea is so ultra foreign to me man...
meagan good? Well I think I have to agree with you on that.. I saw her in that movie Waist deep.. I was like ice and chris in friday "DAAAAAAAMN" xD Idk but I think im strange.. I dont know why but I got some damn "fetish" for black women.. funny thing is I got a friend who is mexican/swedish who is just like me all into black women xD Maybe its the hiphop brainwashing us huh? xD
so who is going to play trayvon and george in the made for tv movie? since the press only showed pics of him as a 12 yr old we need a babyfaced manchild...im thinking jaden smith...for zimmerman we need a sinister looking white guy who is 250 lbs...i know zimmerman is Hispanic, only 170 lbs and 5'8" but the people will never by it. i thought gandolfini would have been perfect but his fat ass is dead...maybe brad pitt would work...what do you guys think?
Meta world peace lol
chickolate
hahahhaahhahh
Yo Megan doe...them lips.
damn he's fine, and showing package too honey.
