Gabrielle Union turned 51 years old this year. But the wife of the Miami Heat legend, Dwyane Wade, is going just as strong as ever before. Although Union has struggled in her personal life, she has had a great year so far on the big screen. Recently, it has been announced that she is now joining a group of talented actors for a new movie.

Gabrielle Union was recently cast in the crime comedy movie ‘Riff Raff’ directed by Dito Montiel, which has already started its shooting in New Jersey.

Gabrielle Unoin’s next acting gig

With the success that she has had so far this year, Gabrielle Union will be part of a star-studded crew of actors in the new movie Riff Raff. According to Deadline, the movie is also set to have Ed Harris, Lewis Pullman, Miles J. Harvey, Pete Davidson, Dustin Hoffman, Emanuela Postacchini, and Michael Angelo Covino. The shooting has already begun.

The film follows the life of a former criminal. The main character is living a normal life until one day his family gets the chance for a long-awaited confrontation that changes everything for him.

Union has been doing great this year. Her movie ‘The Perfect Find‘ which came out earlier this year has received mixed reviews from the fans though it was overall a success. But Union crushed it with her role in ‘Truth Be Told’, which was also a crime story. This and her success in the business sector have now given her a net worth of over $40 million.

Dwyane Wade has been with the star for over 14 years now. Soon after they met, she started having struggles in her personal life. But with her own self-confidence and the support that she has received from Wade, she has faced all the challenges that came her way.

Gabrielle Union accepted her reality

At the age of 38, Union started feeling changes in her body. This led to her getting some blood work done to know what was really going on. It was later revealed that she was undergoing perimenopause, which was an early stage of menopause.

It was in her mid-40s when the symptoms really started showing. As Union is an actress and a celebrity, she is constantly in the public eye. So for her, the most severe symptom that she struggled to overcome was hair loss.

According to People, Union said, “All of it can feel very isolating, and you can feel like less of a woman, especially as a black woman where our hair is our crown. There’s literally the crown act, and I’m like, uh, my crown looks more like a barrette at this moment.“

She struggled a lot in the early stages. But once she accepted the reality of it and talked about it with others, she started feeling more free and could cope better.

Union also knows that there are various stigmas surrounding menopause and how people view it. She wants to empower women and support people who are struggling with this transition. For this, Union is now working with Clearblue to share its product, which is a menopause stage indicator.
