Hollywood star samples corndogs and Nutella-Biscoff pancakes; opens up about grief for late co-star Andre Braugher
DUBAI – Terry Crews is no stranger to the UAE. But his latest visit came with extra toppings—and a touch of heartache.
The ‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’ star was spotted enjoying a relaxed family evening at Global Village, Dubai’s sprawling cultural destination, sampling street food and soaking in the atmosphere with his wife and daughters. A video posted by his daughter Tera Crews has since gone viral, capturing the actor in full deadpan charm.
Crews bites into a Jinju corndog, arches his eyebrows—that signature expression fans know from nine seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and seven of Everybody Hates Chris—and delivers his verdict: “It’s pretty good.”
The corndog was just the opener. Crews also tucked into a Nutella-Biscoff pancake garnished with strawberries, wearing his trademark nonplussed look. His daughters opted for Birria tacos and Tanghulu—crispy sugar-coated fruit—while his wife chose crème brûlée.
The video pans across the Palestine and India pavilions, offering a glimpse of Global Village’s international sprawl.
Dubai Homeowner
Crews is not merely passing through. In May last year, he signed for an apartment at Binghatti Aquarise in Business Bay during the project’s launch, joining a growing roster of celebrity homeowners in the emirate that includes Neymar Jr., Andrea Bocelli, and Aymeric Laporte.
Construction is scheduled for completion in March 2027.
‘We Didn’t Know’
During a recent visit to India, Crews opened up about the loss of his Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Andre Braugher, who died in December 2023 after a private battle with lung cancer.
Speaking to The Times of India, Crews revealed the cast was unaware Braugher was ill.
“We didn’t know that Andre Braugher was dealing with some illness and he was very quiet,” he said. “He was very silent. And we were all very sad when he passed away. He was the most wonderful person to all of us.”
The revelation offered a rare glimpse of grief beneath the comedy, reminding fans of the bond that made the show a global phenomenon.
