He continued: 'But instead of switching careers like a sane person, I took a job at a local Trader Joe's to see if I could hang in there with my career. And, um, it's actually worked out pretty well.'

The crowd reacted in laughter as Owens lapped up the spotlight dressed in a tuxedo at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California.

'I'm Geoffrey Owens and I am an actor,' he ended his appearance before the camera faded to Grownish star Yara Shahidi.

Owens appeared in Hibiscus and TV series Elementary and NCIS: New Orleans after the scandal.

And his 2019 looks more promising.

Owens will return to TV with Tyler Perry's hit drama The Haves and Have Nots on the OWN Network. 

He'll play a senator after Perry took notice and wrote in a role for 11 episodes just for Owens.

Owens told GMA last year when the picture was released that he was 'sleeping in my car, struggling, wondering how I was going to pay the bills'.

'To get this place, just to have seen both sides of this, has been really incredible and that's why I feel like ... I'm the guy for the underdog,' he said.

'Sometimes things just don't work out. And that's OK. That's OK. You do what you have to do in between to get to the point until it gets there.' 

Nicki Minaj also gave him $25,000 after hearing about his situation but Owens donated the money to charity. 

This year he already has parts in Billions and On Becoming A God in Central Florida lined up. 

Plus B and Impossible Monsters, Fatale and Fizzle are listed on his IMDb page.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
