" Gabrielle Union is the woman of your dreams, in case you aren&amp;#039;t aware (she&amp;#039;s also taken, by the Miami Heat&amp;#039;s Dwyane Wade, who&amp;#039;s in the room for this very interview, but maybe we shouldn&amp;#039;t have told you that). Her 15-year resume spans cult teen comedies (She&amp;#039;s All That, Bring It On) to certified blockbusters (Bad Boys II, Think Like a Man), proving she can make you laugh and look jaw-dropping while doing it. When she&amp;#039;s not stealing scenes, she&amp;#039;s happiest riffing tangents about all things sports, which means she won&amp;#039;t interrupt you during the game \u2014 and probably knows more about it than you anyway. Before her latest big-screen venture, this weekend&amp;#039;s Think Like a Man Too, we talked to Union and tried to find anything about her that wasn&amp;#039;t appealing. We totally failed. ESQUIRE.COM: What&amp;#039;s the dorkiest thing about you? GABRIELLE UNION: I&amp;#039;m obsessed with Words with Friends [a Scrabble-like game app]. I currently have 26 games going, which I play all day, every day. I have a few randoms, just because my friends weren&amp;#039;t playing fast enough because of, like, jobs and stuff... but you can play your turn! [Laughs] I have 10 games going with one stranger, and we&amp;#039;ve been playing for over a year.         Normally I&amp;#039;m not a fan of his iPod.... But DJ @dwyanewade pulled a couple ditties from the vault... #dancininthestreet #SoundOfMusic A photo posted by Gabrielle Union (@gabunion) on Apr 27, 2014 at 6:12pm PDT     ESQ: Do they know who you are? GU: No, we don&amp;#039;t have conversations. I only talk shit to my friends, and it&amp;#039;ll only be like, &amp;quot;Boom, bitch!&amp;quot; when I get a crazy word. I let my winning record do the talking.  ESQ: So when&amp;#039;s the last time you watched Bring It On? GU: It&amp;#039;s been a while! I don&amp;#039;t think I&amp;#039;ve watched it start to finish since it came out, but it&amp;#039;s always on, so I see pieces of it. I think it&amp;#039;s odd, to sit around and watch your own movies, like, &amp;quot;You&amp;#039;re gonna love this part!&amp;quot; That&amp;#039;s so weird. ESQ: Well, most people have high school yearbooks. You have a movie catalogue... GU: Of bad hair and unfortunate outfits, yes, I do. [Laughs] By the time I started acting and playing 14-year-olds, I was 23. So I have my real high school and college years, then I have my fake high school and college years. Which is hilarious, because I was a much better fake high school student than I was in real life.         Bad Boy 2 #Sid #MikeLowry #tbt ... I&amp;#039;d hurt somebody if they closed the causeway and I&amp;#039;m trying to get somewhere ... What the hell were we thinkin?! Lmao Action scenes, car chases... Lil love story... Should there be a 3rd? A photo posted by Gabrielle Union (@gabunion) on May 29, 2014 at 12:13pm PDT     ESQ: Is there a point where you realized Hollywood had accepted you as sexy? GU: I think because I did teen roles for so long, that word wasn&amp;#039;t really used, so it was probably when I did Bad Boys II. The bikini scene in that movie, and the response at the premiere, I was like, &amp;quot;Oh, shit, I&amp;#039;m glad I worked out!&amp;quot; I think that was the moment I moved beyond being the cute, sassy friend into something else. ESQ: So you&amp;#039;re no longer afraid to bare it all onscreen?  GU: I joke that I feel like Marilyn Chambers, because I&amp;#039;ve done so many sex scenes over the years. A lot of people [during sex scenes], they want to clear set, but I feel like that takes longer. So I&amp;#039;m like, as many people that need to be in here, come on in! You can easily Google and see my butt. I&amp;#039;m not that pressed about you seeing me. ESQ: Well, it&amp;#039;s your rendition of Bell Biv DeVoe&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Poison&amp;quot; that sold us on Think Like a Man Too. GU: Well I&amp;#039;m glad you like it, because it&amp;#039;s featured pretty prominently in our movie. I&amp;#039;m a karaoke shark. I pretend like, &amp;quot;Oh, don&amp;#039;t make me get up there,&amp;quot; but I sing country music. I sing the Judds, I sing Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Captain &amp;amp;amp; Tennille, Pat Benatar... more current rap, not too much, but anything from Whodini down. ESQ: What do you think is sexy?  GU: Ooh... A great chest. And a beautiful, bulbous ass. ESQ: Wait. Are we talking about men or women? GU: Men. Although for women, too, I guess. I notice them on women in the gym as well. But a baseball cap backward is always a bonus.         Ooooo... Sips Tea... Ok... That ain&amp;#039;t tea but you get my drift &#128513; A photo posted by Gabrielle Union (@gabunion) on May 14, 2014 at 8:19pm PDT     ESQ: We know you&amp;#039;re a huge sports fan.  GU: I&amp;#039;ve been a psychotic sports fan since birth. I&amp;#039;m from Nebraska, and if you don&amp;#039;t know Cornhusker football, you don&amp;#039;t get to talk in my family. ESQ: Ouch. GU: I grew up listening to Johnny Rodgers&amp;#039;s infamous runs on the record player. And just because Oklahoma was our big rival, I have a strange Rolodex of information about Sooner football. College basketball, I was a huge ACC fan \u2014 Georgia Tech was like my team. When I see Dennis Scott, it&amp;#039;s like running into Robert De Niro. Those are the people I get starstruck over. My knowledge of basketball, Big Eight football... freakish. ESQ: What&amp;#039;s the most obscure sports fact you know? GU: I can name the UNLV Runnin&amp;#039; Rebels 1991 starting five. George Ackles, Larry Johnson, Stacey Augmon, Greg Anthony, and... Anderson Hunt. ESQ: I think now is where we get a &amp;quot;Boom, bitch.&amp;quot;  GU: [Laughs] Boom, bitch!         Dance like no one is watching... #islandliving #livingmybestlifeonmyowndamnterms A photo posted by Gabrielle Union (@gabunion) on Dec 30, 2013 at 11:45am PST     "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
