Terrence Howard teared up in his intimate interview with RedBook Magazine. As he expressed his remorse for his behavior towards women, we can’t help but think that Terrence Howard was a womanizer before he had his daughters.

Interview Under the Hood

RedBook: You have three children, is that right?

Terrence: It is, but I can’t call them children anymore — they’re 12, 14, and 16 years old. I’ve got three associates who live in my house, that’s what I have!

RedBook: Did your two daughters influence your decision to do this movie?

Terrence: Yes, because they are my little princesses. When I was speaking as my character (James, Princess Tiana’s father), I was speaking to my little girls.

RedBook: Have they changed the way you view women?

Terrence: Young men tend to come into relationships feeling very strong and powerful, and they make a lot of mistakes. But they soften when they have daughters. You see women through a whole different light because now you know that they were once someone’s little girl. I wish I’d had this knowledge when I was 20 — I wish I could call all the women I’ve ever dated and apologize. I didn’t know how precious they were. I know better now.

If a fairy godmother could grant you one insight into women, what would it be?

Terrence: How to better communicate. A man will say something that in his mind is completely appropriate, even poignant, but the woman will hear it very differently. There’s such frustration in that.

Do you believe there’s a Prince (or Princess) Charming for everyone?

Terrence: Yes, you have to believe that or the world stops spinning. The first Prince Charming in our lives is our father, and the first Princess Charming is our mother. I think parents should show their children how to love, how they should be loved.

    I hope you give a big apology to Lori McCommas.

    In an ideal world, our failed relationships are supposed to teach us for future ones. We will know he is sorry if he treats the next one better than he has treated others in the past…He’s still fine though!!!

  • BLACK-A-RIFICK

    t how is the man but i cant wait til his daughters hit 19

  • THE SoSelphish 1

    @ Kimberly – Reppn The D!

    Mmmm.. u have a point…

  • Black, Yet Never Incarcerated!!!

    There is no need for him to apologize. All the disrespect and emotional pain he inflicted on others will come back to him with interest.

    It may come back to him in the form of his daughters all being run through by a succession of doggish men.

  • Black, Yet Never Incarcerated!!!

    It may also come back to him in the form of him falling deeply in love with a woman who has a lot of emotional baggage from being mistreated by a succession of doggish men…and she takes out her anger and dysfunction on him.

  • Debra

    You wish you could??? Are they all deceased? If you mean it, pick up the phone and call them, brothers, listen to this..while ya’ll are disrespecting women, you have to look into the eyes of your daughters one day, and be on pins and needles about the lowlife that possibly disrepects them one day…..Think!!!!

  • Mory D.

    i’m mad at ya’ll hatin at terrence howards succesful ass. the only reason ya’ll hate him is because he is good looking, light skinned, got nice eyes, beautiful kids with a wife, a lot of money, good morals and is more succesful than anyone in your whole family.
    yall just mad cause he’s light skinned and succesful when in truth u can’t do a damn thing better than him. do something instead of sitting at da computer stuffin ho-ho’s and tastykakes in ya mouth.

    I’M GLAD, HE’ HAS LEARNED FROM HIS MISTAKES AND I HOPE THAT HE TEACHES HIS SON TO BE A BETTER MAN THAN HE WAS/IS. BECAUSE WE DON’T WANT ANOTHER “LIKE FATHER LIKE SON”. THAT WOULD JUST BE TOO SAD.

    When you have a young son you have to look out for only one “willy” in town

    When you have young daughter you have to look out for ALL the “willies” in town.

    @ KIMBERLY – REPPN THE D!
