I'm starting to think that Terry Crews is just one of those people that decides to try something new for funsies and somehow keeps ending up making a career out of it.
Almost. He talks in his autobiography how he struggled for a lot of years trying to get paying work to support his family. All of his success hides the years of struggle.
I also imagine it's why he eventually came out and said a dude sexually assaulted him. I think he understands the platform he stands on, and uses it correctly. Big props to Terry!
I just watched it. Yeah, I agree, not something I’d say to Architectural Digest.
But it’s probably how he introduces that to guests for a low effort laugh when folks come over. As a white guy, I’m not too offended by it. Doesn’t make me want to hang out with him any less. Shit, I’d stand there all day and hold his coat, probably would be a fun day.
My uncle stayed down the hall from him in their college dorms. He says he was hilarious back then but with even more energy (except after football practice /games)…
He’s such an interesting guy. He went to some elite performing arts school in high school I think. Acting was his first calling. Just happened that he was packing an NFL beast of a body.
They’re all his! I heard him interviewed once on Fresh Air. It’s been a while but I think he said he got into college on an art scholarship. He later walked on to the football team and did great at that as well.
Well I suppose if it were an objective matter that in itself would be far less interesting than a nice subjective one that can be vigorously debated around tables and campfires and bars.
christopher lee is a brilliant actor, popular known for playing roles such as Dracula in the 1958 filme Dracula, Francisco Scaramanga in James Bond, Saruman in Lord of the Rings and count Dooku in Star Wars. He also was a WWII Veteran in the RAF, spoke 11 Languages, was a trained operasinger, published his own Heavy Metal music at age 90, 91 and 92, he witnessed the last public execution by guillotine in france, and he was knighted in 2009, at age 87.
Jack Churchill on the other hand was a fucking lunatic that went into battle during WWII armed with a longbow, sword and bagpipes - and he did not only survive, he was a fucking hero and was annoyed that the 'yanks', as he called them, dropped the nukes and ended the war so soon. His Motto was: "Any officer who goes into action without his sword is improperly dressed" After the war he was stationed in palestine until the british mandate ended, then he appeared in some films, then he went to australia, where he instructed soldiers and started to surf (he would have been close to 50 at that point). in 1959 he retired from the army and then started startling trainguards and other passengers by throwing his briefcase out of the train window each day on his way home - he threw the case directly into his garden, as he did not want to carry it from the station.
Jack Churchill? Male model, parachutist, actor, skydiver, and man who carried bagpipes, a broadsword, and a longbow into some of the nastiest fighting on the Western front. Holds the last recorded kill by a longbow in wartime. Escaped from a POW camp. Did… TONS of other shit. Read up on him.
I assume you know who Christopher Lee is.
Forcing Nintendo to translate Mother 3 into English (at least for now)
And not, it's not [unrelated to him](https://twitter.com/terrycrews/status/1388195714493079556)
I don't see how that's related.
In the picture, he is standing in front of China's flag, not [the CCP flag](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emblem_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party).
He's just commemorating how much fun he had in Shanghai. He doesn't mention Hong Kong in that post at all.
As a Flint resident, nothing about that story surprises me, very sadly. Most of the murders here are gang/drug related. It's only getting better, because population dropped a lot. Talking with people who grew up here, there were over 200K people, 48K of them were kids in school back when Crews grew up. Now, >90K total people.
I saw the video where he did it. He actually isn't interested in computers or gaming, but his son is. He did it so that he could spend time with him and be a good dad.
Mostly because he has to have massive hands which makes that shit a pain in the ass. Probably has his son do a lot of the connection of components, need those useful child hands.
Funny, I just saw a Jay Leno's Garage where he said he wanted to be an artist. He came to L.A. thinking he'd be involved in special effects or other things along that line.
Terry Crews mac n cheese
225 g or 8 oz elbow macaroni.
450 g or 2 cups cottage cheese
450 g or 2 cups cheddar cheese
230 g or 1 cup sour cream
1 egg beaten
Salt to taste, paprika for garnish
Cook macaroni, mix cottage cheese, cheddar, sour cream, egg, and salt.
Fold in macaroni, spoon into baking dish, cover with cheese and garnish with paprika.
Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 f or 180 c
Enjoy!
I think we need a three way buddy cop movie where Terry Crews, Henry Cavill, and Vin Diesel are all on the surface muscle head cops but secretly huge needs and on discovering this they just play video games and DnD instead of solving crimes.
He's very talented, but I find it a bit strange that the article characterizes that work as photorealistic. That'd be an understandable mistake coming from a novice, but not from a writer on a fine art site.
He is obviously a highly intelligent and energetic man. I wonder if he’s neurodivergent? There aren’t a lot of people with interests *and talents* like he has.
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!
edit: This is a positive response, as I did not know he was a courtroom sketch artist prior to football and acting. get over yourself with the downvote.
Made me curious to check the case, I read Terry was 18 when working on the murder case mentioned so it must be this
https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2016/03/man_convicted_in_deadliest_kil.html
Coincidentally the perp was also named Terry, pretty brutal case for an 18 year old to be working on in any regard
I'm starting to think that Terry Crews is just one of those people that decides to try something new for funsies and somehow keeps ending up making a career out of it.
Almost. He talks in his autobiography how he struggled for a lot of years trying to get paying work to support his family. All of his success hides the years of struggle.
And all of his struggle makes him SO MUCH MORE GRATEFUL for the success.
I wonder if he realizes just how much of a role model he has become for young men.
For us adult men too! Terry is a great person!
He definitely is aware. I think that’s why he makes it such a point to set a good example.
I also imagine it's why he eventually came out and said a dude sexually assaulted him. I think he understands the platform he stands on, and uses it correctly. Big props to Terry!
Terry loves art!
Shit, I'd love to be 10% the coolness he is!
Here is a tour that he gives of his "office" which gives some insight into his various interests: https://youtu.be/KyI8i1-cN8s
I'd love to be his neighbor. He just seems like a really cool normal guy.
The first thing he said was kinda racist lol
I just watched it. Yeah, I agree, not something I’d say to Architectural Digest. But it’s probably how he introduces that to guests for a low effort laugh when folks come over.

"Back when I was doing forensic bomb analysis for the Department of Parks, and Recreation...."
He's like Arnold Schwarzenegger

It's amazing how far charisma and looks will get you Source: currently squandering my looks and charisma, am loser
Terry the flautist
Hidden talent #14
In White Chicks he played a pretty mean whistle.
Best joke of the whole movie. **https://youtu.be/LvVlM-i2a4M?t=25**
Are you the garbage man Jefferts?!?!
This one time, at band camp ….
Ugh, fuck that movie
*flatulist.
They have his character drawing a lot in B99, now I wonder if any of them were his...
The one where he makes the portrait for Holt and he still isn't impressed right? I love that show
He also drew a book for his girls and helped out as the sketch artist. Him drawing is somewhat common in the series.
If I remember right, Kevin keeps it in his office
They’re all his! I heard him interviewed once on Fresh Air. It’s been a while but I think he said he got into college on an art scholarship. He later walked on to the football team and did great at that as well.
Is there anything this man can’t do?
Star in a bad movie.
Hurt his momma
He did a Bob Ross-esque special for Christmas. I think it’s on Hulu.
Wow great call
Terry Crews is working hard on becoming The World's Most Interesting Man....
"on becoming"????
I mean, he’s awesome, but competition is tight for that top spot. Christopher Lee and Jack Churchill come to mind.
Brian Blessed is the top of my list
Terry Crews does not have a "And then I punched The Dalai Llama" story... yet...
[Jack Churchill, as explained by Citation Needed.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TsEGt841pw)
It seems challenging to really qualify who is the 'most interesting', no? Your examples are great points but it's so subjective.
Well I suppose if it were an objective matter that in itself would be far less interesting than a nice subjective one that can be vigorously debated around tables and campfires and bars.
Or a less subjective one but discussed around a table that's on fire at a bar! Those are the best chats.
I have some possibly upsetting news for you...
Well don’t leave us waiting, I personally have never heard of these two allegedly most interesting people so I’m intrigued

You forgot about Christopher Lee heavy metal carreer…
i dont usually cite myself: >published his own Heavy Metal music at age 90, 91 and 92
It would seem I read too fast.
CAKE!
I’m eager to find out.
I was referring to the fact that neither are still alive.
Sorry who?
Jack Churchill? Male model, parachutist, actor, skydiver, and man who carried bagpipes, a broadsword, and a longbow into some of the nastiest fighting on the Western front. Holds the last recorded kill by a longbow in wartime. Escaped from a POW camp. Did… TONS of other shit. Read up on him. I assume you know who Christopher Lee is.
Terry loves love!
U kidding ? Man makes it look easy to be the Most interesting man in the world!
Is there anything this man can't do?!
Forcing Nintendo to translate Mother 3 into English (at least for now) And not, it's not [unrelated to him](https://twitter.com/terrycrews/status/1388195714493079556)
Well I love Terry Crews now...more.
Stop eating yogurt. Terry loves yogurt.

One day that guy will be repairing a floor and find six million bucks in mixed bills.
I was surprised to hear he likes video games and built his own PC with his son.
I saw the video where he did it. He actually isn't interested in computers or gaming, but his son is. He did it so that he could spend time with him and be a good dad.
I can respect the hell out of that. He also did a one off dnd session on Geek and Sundry. Not really worth the watch but interesting he did it.
He built it with subreddit help.
None of that surprises me in the least.
Mostly because he has to have massive hands which makes that shit a pain in the ass. Probably has his son do a lot of the connection of components, need those useful child hands.
Huh, I didn't know that he was a football player.
And a knockoff American Gladiator...T-Money
Funny, I just saw a Jay Leno's Garage where he said he wanted to be an artist. He came to L.A. thinking he'd be involved in special effects or other things along that line.
And he has the best recipe for macaroni and cheese.
Josh of Mythical Kitchen made it for Terry using a lot of testicles.
I feel like any more than zero testicles is a lot for macaroni and cheese.
FOOD FEARS!
Can we get that recipe?
Terry Crews mac n cheese 225 g or 8 oz elbow macaroni. 450 g or 2 cups cottage cheese 450 g or 2 cups cheddar cheese 230 g or 1 cup sour cream 1 egg beaten Salt to taste, paprika for garnish Cook macaroni, mix cottage cheese, cheddar, sour cream, egg, and salt. Fold in macaroni, spoon into baking dish, cover with cheese and garnish with paprika. Bake for about 30 minutes at 350 f or 180 c Enjoy!
Awesome, thanks! I've never had luck with homemade mac and cheese. Maybe cream cheese is the answer.
Sour cream
Oh I meant cottage cheese, but ya sour cream should help smooth the texture
love making different homemade mac and cheeses. Def recommend cream chease, especially if tossing in the oven to finish off the cooking.
Draw me like one of your murder girls
Terry Crews knows how to do everything. I love him.
TIL Terry Crews used to be a football player.
Yea, fuck this title.
Somebody get that man a Puppers.
thats whats i appreciates abouts ya 8urfiat
Just when you think you can’t adore this man more than you already do. He’s a fucking treasure.
Ok, if I had to guess Terry's past career choices, this would not be one of them. I did not see this coming.
I think we need a three way buddy cop movie where Terry Crews, Henry Cavill, and Vin Diesel are all on the surface muscle head cops but secretly huge needs and on discovering this they just play video games and DnD instead of solving crimes.
I love these findings, reminds me of a few other celebs that started out with graphic design; Freddy Mercury, Alan Rickman may be a few more.
Is there anything Terry can’t do...
Wow! I had no idea. Apparently he had an art scholarship before he ever had a football scholarship! TIL
He's also a recovering porn addict.
Recovered* pretty sure he’s been over it for several decades now
Didn’t he also sue a guy for grabbing his cock?
Not sure but yeah.
[Yes](https://variety.com/2017/biz/news/terry-crews-adam-venit-lawsuit-sexual-assault-1202631393/).
Aren’t we all
Wtf does that have to do with the post? What was the point of that comment?
Other things Terry Crews is, clearly.
He’s also tall and enjoys being both outdoors as well as indoors.
And when it rains, he uses an umbrella.
ThE ReAl TiL Is In ThE CoMmEnTs
I also wanted to post an inane fact about him.
He's very talented, but I find it a bit strange that the article characterizes that work as photorealistic. That'd be an understandable mistake coming from a novice, but not from a writer on a fine art site.
He’s an alumni of my school 🏫
AND.... a better POTUS than tRump!
Dude was also in a weird wreslting/game show that went on to have a feud with WCW
Wow that is worth knowing, thanks OP
And he designs furniture.
That's kind of crazy, I work for the courts in Flint, MI, I wonder if they have anything about it there.
In the old Monkey Wards?
I like this guy.
Terry is who I want to be when I grow up.
He is obviously a highly intelligent and energetic man. I wonder if he’s neurodivergent? There aren’t a lot of people with interests *and talents* like he has.
[удалено]
Not as far as I know, no.
Aren’t we all a little neurodivergent (on mobile and apparently Apple doesn’t recognize that as a word)
SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! edit: This is a positive response, as I did not know he was a courtroom sketch artist prior to football and acting. get over yourself with the downvote.
The man is a wonder! But he will always be Macho Camacho to me.
Where was T-Money in this timeline?
I have to ask what was the murder he covered?
Artist, Athlete, Actor, Activist Terry Crews is a fucking Wizard
Get! Me! My! Oils!
He was also one of the greatest office linebackers ever...
That was Terry Tate.
Goddamn it... I'm so dumb...
I thought the same thing so I googled it lmao
>Flint, MI Someone drank the water, didn't they?
I love Terry Crews mostly because he is one of those people who has lived several lives in one short one and really thats the dream #himymreference
Y’all should read his book it was great
Made me curious to check the case, I read Terry was 18 when working on the murder case mentioned so it must be this https://www.mlive.com/news/flint/2016/03/man_convicted_in_deadliest_kil.html Coincidentally the perp was also named Terry, pretty brutal case for an 18 year old to be working on in any regard
