Garcelle Beauvais was a pretty hot actress back in the day.

She was so in demand that superstars Michael Jordan and Will Smith even wanted a piece of the pie.

In Beauvais’s new memoir “Love Me As I Am,” she details how she briefly dated basketball star Michael Jordan:

“I was impressed by how tall and handsome he was,” she continued. “He took me on a golf date after the shoot and showed me how to hold a club properly and swing.”

It’s unclear how many dates they went on in total, but she admitted to curving Jordan after inviting her to a romantic getaway in Hawaii.

“As a naive little girl, I was ‘clutching my pearls’ and shocked by the idea of going to Hawaii with a man I had just met,” she added. “I blew that one.”

Will Smith would’ve been added to her roster if she didn’t over here; his oldest son Trey asked, “is that miss Jada” while they were speaking on the phone.

Sounds like she fumbled some pretty big bags. Everything happens for a reason.
