00:00There's something that happened that none of us will ever speak of hey, this is Gabrielle Union

00:05And today we are gonna go behind the looks on who what where?

00:17Chastity from 10 things I hate about you

00:20Which is interesting because a lot of people at that time thought I was an actual child. I was not

00:27There's points where the parents of a couple cast members signed their children over to me

00:34wrong move

00:35My first order of business was getting them fake IDs and we were hitting the UW bars and the bars in Tacoma

00:42In Federal Way, I took them all to black clubs in Federal Way

00:45and that's what one should do when you're tasked by their parents to keep them safe and to

00:51Make sure that they're doing their summer school homework

00:55I'm sure you know, they all got left behind because why would you ever put me in charge? But uh

01:01Chastity's clothes were I guess very teenagery, but I was super grown like late 20s

01:08I think for most teen movies you have to have a clear villain

01:12You have to have people to root for

01:14Does it feel even mildly aspirational solid script you have to flip it?

01:20I mean everything has been done before so, how are you gonna, you know reinvent the wheel?

01:24I think the best, you know teen movies are more inclusive and

01:30It's you know, like whenever I was just like the black friend

01:34not like

01:36The most interesting for me personally to watch but when there's more diversity like love Simon

01:41I mean, please like I was bawling the whole movie. She's all that

01:45Another movie that launched a thousand friendships

01:48I didn't know any of these people at the time, but they have become very very very close friends

01:54I don't know what her name was, but I remember that weave that was one of my first amazing weaves

01:59They used a lot of hair like cuz can there be too much?

02:02And I became you know friends with a guy who became one of my closest guy friends ever Dulé Hill

02:11Develop really close relationship with little Kim Usher was in that Rachel Lee cook

02:16Paul Walker Freddie like that. We all were really close for a very long time and let's talk about Katie's very inappropriate

02:24wardrobe for high school

02:27Where was she going because I saw Katie go to the beach. I actually booked she's all that

02:33Two days after I got back from filming ten things I hate about you

02:36So this movie love and basketball I played

02:41What was her name Shawnee Easton and I met one of my best friends

02:45So now late then on that movie not that we were friends during the filming that came later

02:49Actually when I was shooting bad boys 2 and she was shooting at a time and we were living in the same hotel in Miami

02:55for months that

02:57Particular look well, actually all the looks in love and basketball

03:02Shawnee Easton

03:04was way more blessed than I and so they were it was right around the time like sports like

03:10The Wonder Bra was kind of being introduced and the chicken cutlets. I had two chicken cutlets her boob

03:17playing Shawnee Easton

03:20Almighty Isis from bring it on

03:23It's funny because it's the movie that we all took because we didn't get the movie that we wanted

03:29Yeah, Kirsten really wanted save the last dance and I wanted

03:33It was a cheerleading bank robbery movie and there were 12 roles and I thought well, of course

03:40One of them has to be black and they were like no no, that's where you'd be wrong

03:43None of them will be back. And so I was very heartbroken about the you know, the the surefire hit

03:48Of the bank robbing cheerleaders. And so I was like, I guess I'll take bring it on. I guess that worked out for me

03:55Connie Spaulding

03:56To can play that game

03:58She is that bitch is was and forever will be that bitch. What's funny though is

04:04That's probably when people first started realizing that

04:08Perhaps I have hip and knee and ankle issues

04:12Because we had to do that walk that

04:14iconic Connie Spaulding intro a number of times and they were like just think of like she's a bad mamma-jama

04:20Just think of like all these songs that were supposed to inspire

04:24Sexiness but really they should have been just giving me turmeric because

04:29My joint pain was extreme

04:31Oh

04:31What I know about Connie for sure is she's gonna see about somebody's Negro probably not her own and she's having the time of her

04:37Life city girls up a billion with Connie Spaulding outside. No, that's a power pony

04:42And and Connie really was very committed to that power pony. She was committed to an updo

04:48Throughout the film and I love that for her. That is bad boys, too

04:52I played Sid that dress that iconic dress. That's Gucci

04:56And it's the hottest sexiest I've ever looked or felt on screen in my entire career. It felt amazing

05:03it was six months of

05:05Being treated like the Queen of Sheba by Will and Martin and Martin literally to this day treats me like a little sister

05:12Not so much that I appear in any of the other sequels, but just enough for

05:17This

05:19But I've never been shot more

05:22Sexy beautiful in my entire career. So Michael Bay

05:29You're good with me

05:30Deliver us from Eva

05:33Eva's wardrobe. I

05:35Was a little corporate a little buttoned up, but I actually just reinvented

05:40Eva's equestrian look

05:42On Mother's Day, so Eva lives Eva Dandridge lives justice for Eva her and I don't remember what else name was in this movie

05:51Character name, but I don't think they were like a great match

05:54I feel like it was a little toxic the fact that like

05:57He was cool to like fake his death if a man fakes his death. That's probably a sign. He's not for you

06:04That is from think like a man to when we're in Vegas and it took

06:10All day long it felt like it was easily

06:131015 takes and was right before lunch and everyone was hungry and annoyed and it was take after take after take and

06:22There's something that happened

06:24Right around the time of the final take right before lunch that none of us will ever speak of

06:30So the secret to having a large ensemble

06:34Cast and it being fun is to only work with people you actually know and our friends with

06:40Who's crazy you have already seen a number of times?

06:44So we were there. We're all very very close friends. We've all known each other for a very long time. So

06:49If it was a different combination of people

06:52Probably wouldn't have all the fun stories and fun memories

06:56so Mary Jane style

06:58at work is very

07:01Corporate chic when she was with her girlfriend

07:04She was a little more sexy when she was out with any number of her suitors

07:10It was almost she she almost kind of would sort of lean heavily into whatever their style was

07:16She was like a chameleon in that way

07:19But yeah, she was she was awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed playing Mary Jane and all of her epic reads

07:27The perfect find her style in this movie very different from my own, but she goes there she leans in she's fashion-forward

07:34She takes risks. She doesn't you know, she sets trends. She doesn't follow them and this particular picture

07:40It's to him also very close friends. Lala is like fan like the friend that became family

07:47We've known each other longer than the guys have known each other. She played the

07:52The DJ and to can play that game when she was 19 and we've been friends like ever since

07:59And Ayesha and I we both kind of started our careers around the same time and we did this

08:04Really creepy psycho indie together and that's how I mean we've known each other for ever

08:10Thank you so much. It has been so much fun revisiting some of my characters and their most iconic looks

08:22You
