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.
