The comedian continued saying that she was surprised that they weren’t already married to which the award-winning actor responded, “Yeah, I mean, that’s understandable given that we’ve been together 28 years before we got married. I hold you blameless.”

Don Cheadle and his wife, Brigid Coulter, have been together since 1992 and share two children together, Ayana and Imani.

The couple also starred in the 1997 film, Rosewood, together. Check out the trailer below:

Don Cheadle Reveals Cops Held Him at Gunpoint: ‘I Always Fit the Description’

Don Cheadle Reveals Cops Held Him at Gunpoint: 'I Always Fit the Description'

Even Black A-List celebrities like Don Cheadle aren’t above police brutality.

The actor appeared on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon and spoke about his experience with the police after moving to a predominantly white suburban neighborhood.

“That was when a lot of bullying started when I was at school, and it definitely predicated on race,” Cheadle said. “That’s when it started to be clear that the cops were not on ‘Team Don’ and there was a different treatment.”

Cheadle referenced a 1987 policy called Operation Hammer which was aimed at allegedly curb gang violence.

“I don’t know if it was officially coined that it was to stop and harass Black and Brown people, but that was the sort of unofficial official interdepartmental language that they used for the Hammer Program, what it was for and what it was designed to do — to intimidate and to make sure everybody knew who was really running things in L.A.,” he explained.

“I got stopped more times than I can count and guns put to my head…I always fit the description,” he added.

The veteran actor acknowledged that police brutality is not new, but changes are being made thanks to the undeniable video footage of these tragic incidents.

“I have good friends who were almost killed by the police for nothing,” he said. “So this is not something that was new to me once all of these videos started to come out. This was something that we knew very well was happening, they just weren’t being filmed.”

Don Cheadle Cast To Co-Star in LeBron James’ ‘Space Jam 2’

For the first time in more than a decade LeBron James was not headlining the NBA Playoffs. But that didn’t stop his name from being a topic of discussion ever since the Los Angeles Lakers season came to a whimpering end.

Aside from his name constantly being mentioned whenever rumors of free agents signing with the Lakers was being discussed, The King’s Space Jam 2 and who will be cast to star alongside the NBA champion has been the talk of tinseltown. After NBA and WNBA stars such as Anthony Davis, Damian Lillard and Diana Taurasi have been confirmed to participate in the upcoming film, Deadline is now reporting that Academy Award nominated actor Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda) has been cast to take part in the Ryan Coogler produced film.

Going from Disney/Marvel to Warner Bros., huh? Cheadle getting that big time paper. We ain’t counting his money though. It’s all love.

No word yet on what role the Don will be taking on as “Cheadle’s role is being kept under wraps” but we’re sure that director Terence Nance won’t be wasting the Oscar nominee’s exceptional talents in the big budget block buster.

One of the few questions left for basketball fans is will LeBron James debut some new classic kicks in Space Jam 2 like Michael Jordan did (Jordan XI‘s) in the original film back in 1996? Guess we’ll have to wait till the summer of 2021 to find out.

The new episode airs on Saturday, May 4, and will bring in a must-see guest in his Los Angeles Lakers teammate Lonzo Ball. The starting Lakers guard is the first teammate to be on The Uninterrupted produced series.

Joining LeBron and Lonzo will be Don Cheadle and Seth Rogen, who both have films hitting theaters, Houston representatives in Texas wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and rap phenom Travis Scott, legendary musician, and designer Pharrell Williams and music mogul Jimmy Iovine.

Also joining James, Carter and the cast of stars will be the show’s co-creator, Paul Rivera.

Don Cheadle Rocked ‘Protect Trans Kids’ Tee On ‘SNL’ & Trump Is Big Mad, Twitter Reacts

Saturday Night Live - Season 44

Source: NBC / Getty

Don Cheadle hosted last night’s episode of Saturday Night Live and won the Internet in the process. Not only did his “Protect Trans Kids” tee shirt win praise, he expertly trolled President Trump, who happens to be big mad at SNL, again. 

The renowned actor rocked the tee before introducing music guest Gary Clark, Jr. He didn’t even say anything about it, and the message was sent.

Then during the close of the show, Cheadle rocked a Russia hockey jersey with the name Trump (with a backward “R”, no less) on the back and the no. 45. This man is now legend.

As for Cheeto, he’s big mad that Saturday Night Live gets to mock him because, ya know, the first amendment. Go figure.

Peep the reactions in the gallery.
