Matthew Lawrence recently reflected on his experience working with Gabrielle Union in the 1999 TV movie H-E Double Hockey Sticks on the Magical Rewind podcast. He recalled that Gabrielle’s star power was evident from the start but shared a specific incident where he turned down her request to rehearse. Matthew, who preferred to memorize his lines without extensive rehearsals, didn’t realize that Gabrielle was upset by his refusal. She reportedly reported the incident to the director and studio, marking the only time in his career he was called into an office for on-set behavior. Matthew emphasized that his intention wasn’t to upset Gabrielle, but simply to avoid rehearsals, as he felt they drained the spontaneity from his performance. Reflecting on his career, Matthew also touched on his past experiences with the #MeToo movement, showing his ongoing commitment to advocating for women’s rights.
