Actress Gabrielle Union sat down with Honey Mag recently and discussed a number of topics, including her role as Zoey in the new show “Flash Forward,” her marriage to football player Chris Howard (they divorced in 2001) and what she considers her best features:
Honey Magazine: What’s ahead for you when Flash Forward returns?
Zoey kind of becomes unhinged. Zoey goes off on everyone—Courtney’s [B. Vance] character, Joe’s [Fiennes] character. She tries to save her man by any means necessary. She’s convinced it’s not looking good for him and she’s gonna do whatever she can to save him. I always joke if I had this kind of passion and conviction when I was married, maybe I wouldn’t be divorced! The way Zoey is with this man, and they’re not even married yet, the level of dedication is insane.What did you learn about relationships from your marriage?
That you can’t sweat the small stuff. I spent so much of my marriage upset. Things like the toilet seat being up or down shouldn’t define your day. You put so much on every little thing. You look at your parents like they were infallible and perfect and you realize now that they made a lot of mistakes and they’re just people. I’m giving the men in my life the same consideration. They’re just human.
