Michael Ealy: Bringing Relationship Disorders To Life

mike ealy
Actor Michael Ealy melted many women’s hearts in films like Barbershop, For Colored Girls, and About Last Night. But in his latest film, The Perfect Guy, Michael plays Carter Duncan — a charming stranger that quickly turns from a superhero saving a damsel in distress into a crazed, villain-like character that gives a “if I can’t have you, no one will” ultimatum.

Like many fairy tale relationships, Carter (Ealy) swoops in to save the day and sweep Leah (Sanaa Lathan) off of her feet.

2. It Was a Whirlwind Relationship

Often, an obsessive person chooses to rush things to have more control over the other person and to have a sense that the other person is somehow trapped and has less opportunity to leave the relationship.
