Both the women and men of Think Like A Man Too are featured on dual covers of Essence this month. But it turns out that something, or rather… some people were missing, and that bothered some Think Like A Man Too fans.
You see, for the men’s cover, cast members Jerry Ferrara (who plays Jeremy, Gabrielle Union’s character’s fiance), Gary Owen (the hilarious comedian is friend to the crew, Bennett), and new addition to the cast, former OC star Adam Brody, are not present. They’re not in the photo spread either. But producer Will Packer is featured on both the cover and inside the mag. Seeing that Essence is a magazine catered to black women, it wouldn’t be surprising that they would want to let the black male characters (and in this case, producer too) shine on their own, but fans of the movie, both black and white, took to social media to let people know that they noticed the omission.
But what do you think? Should Ferrara and Owen (and Brody too) have been included in some way in the photo shoot? Or are people overreacting? Talk about it.
Initially, I thought it was a mistakenly bad move for Essence, but then then I thought back to the 2009 movie “Couples Retreat” where the black actor and actress Faizon Love and Kali Hawk were, in one promo… placed in the very back, and in another promo… not even placed at all (see image below).
