The Prime of Gabrielle Union |
Plenty of ink has been spilled over the supposed death of the romantic comedy, but Gabrielle Union is here to start a new chapter. The star spoke with Chris Murphy for our first look at The Perfect Find, her upcoming old-school-style rom-com, which hits Netflix on June 23. The film features Union as a 40-something woman falling into a May–December flirtation with her Gen Z coworker, played by Keith Powers, after her settled life falls apart. "[It] really sparked something inside of me about older women, and how we can oftentimes disappear from society, almost, in terms of people looking at us as like we are past our prime. That we carry no value, that no one sees value in a woman over 28, much less over 35, much less over 40," Union says. "But baby, I'm thriving."
