While on the carpet, the Academy Award nominee talked about why he turned down filming a third installment of Dr. Dolittle. "You know, it's funny, when I remember way back when they were trying to put together Dr. Dolittle 3 and the reason I didn't do that [is because] I was like, 'Raven [Symoné] is a grown woman.' I said, 'I can't have no grown woman calling me Dad,'" Eddie told Entertainment Tonight. "But now we're here, we're really here, and I think it's cool 'cause we still look like ourselves." "But still' I've aged though. It's all in my feet and my back teeth," the actor added, laughing. "If you saw my feet and my back teeth, you'd be like, 'Oh yeah, he really is in his sixties.'" Ha! Speaking of Raven... "Raven's Home" star Raven Symone and her wife Miranda Maday were in the mix. An "ATL" reunion went down. L. Boogie stopped for a photo-op with her former "ATL" co-stars Malika Haqq and Khadijah Haqq-McCray, who looked great. B2K crooner Omarion showed up in a super-laid back and relaxed look. "Bel-Air" actress and singer Coco Jones turned up the heat in a soft pink cut-out dress paired with white sandals. Nafeesa Williams, who stars as Robyn Crawford in the upcoming Whitney Houston biopic, was all smiles as she made her way down the carpet. Kenya Barris came out to celebrate his feature directiorial debut. "All American" star Bre-Z came out to support. New seasons of "All American" resume January 24th. All grown up! "Station 19" star Boris Kodjoe brought his gorgeous daughter Sophie Tei Naaki Lee Kodjoe as his date for the premiere. Speaking of daddy/daughter duos... Model Bella Harris hit the carpet with her father, legendary music producer Jimmy Jam. "The Game" alum Pooch Hall and "South Side" actress Brittany Baker snapped it up together. And comedian Cedric the Entertainer laughed it up on the carpet. Fun times. You People premieres on January 27th on Netflix. Watch the trailer HERE.
