Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, has once again made a lighthearted remark that has put a star in the headlines. With a net worth of $187 billion, Musk’s recent visit to the Miami Grand Prix has further piqued the interest of the sports industry. Notorious for his wit, daring proclamations, and unfiltered presence on Twitter, Musk never fails to provoke unforeseen reactions. In a playful Twitter move, he shared an audience poll that took NFL fans and enthusiasts by surprise.

In his latest escapade, he playfully turned the spotlight on Terry Crews, the ex-NFL linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams turned renowned TV personality. In a whimsical move, Musk crafted a poll that amusingly showcased Crews as an option unsuited for the role at hand, triggering discussions and raising questions about his compatibility with the character.

Musk caused quite a stir on Twitter when he shared a post on Thursday that ignited a spirited debate among fans. The post posed the question, “Who should play Snow White?” and presented four options, one of which was none other than Terry Crews. Alongside Crews, renowned actresses Gal Gadot, Ana de Arm, and Rachel Zegler were also listed. What caught everyone’s attention were the percentages displayed next to each name, with Gadot at 3%, Arm at 2%, Zegler at 1%, and a whopping 93% of the votes going to Crews.

This poll immediately sparked discussions and further fueled the social media frenzy. Some fans debated on the White & Black controversy, while some on Musk’s poor humor. Interestingly, there were even netizens who playfully entertained the idea of Musk himself taking on the role of Snow White.

Meanwhile, the upcoming film (next year) “Snow White,” helmed by “The Amazing Spider-Man” filmmaker Marc Webb, has already cast its main character, with Gal Gadot, the star of “Wonder Woman,” taking on the role. Despite this casting decision, the unexpected inclusion of Terry Crews in the poll created intrigue. Known for his towering stature of 6’2″ and 245 pounds, Crews has gained recognition for his hyper-masculine and comedic roles, making him a distinctive figure in the entertainment industry.

Terry Crews’ history with NFL

Terry Crews began his professional football career in 1991 when he entered the NFL. He was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the 11th round of the NFL draft. Crews played for the Rams for two seasons before being released from the roster. Following his time with the Rams, he signed with the San Diego Chargers, where he had two productive seasons and participated in ten games, recording one tackle for the team.

However, Crews’ football journey took a significant turn when he joined the Washington Redskins in the 1995 draft. This move marked a new chapter in his career and provided him with an opportunity to showcase his skills on the field. As an alumnus of West Michigan University, Crews brought his determination and dedication to the Redskins, aiming to make a lasting impact in the NFL.

However, despite his impressive performance, he was released by the Redskins. The following year, he signed with the Philadelphia Eagles but struggled to make a significant impact, leading him to ultimately opt out of the league without finding a stable role. Turning his focus to his true passion for television and acting, Crews made a life-altering decision.
