Well hello there, Tyler Perry, Madea gets a makeover. We don’t think we’ve seen this side of you before, as he attempts to get his sexy back. The actor and director graces this month’s issue of Men’s Health magazine and oh my is he looking fine! in a "how you dooin"kinda way.
Inside the mag, Tyler talks about getting in shape and dropping the weight for his new role on “Alex Cross.” Here are some highlights of what he says:
“I walk into a room with a lot more confidence. All my life I’ve tried to hide my height. I was taller than everybody else and stood out, so I would slouch and try to hide it. But with what I’ve been able to do with my body, I’m owning it. I’m standing up when I walk into a room.”
“Now, I feel like it’s okay to be thought of as sexy.”
“I thought, ‘Well, Morgan Freeman played this role, you might not want to do this, ’cause Morgan Freeman knocked it out of the park. But the more I read it, the more I realized that I could do it.”
Tyler on his journey to success despite setbacks in the past…
“I’ve worked my entire life to get to this place. The first 28 years of my life, it was hell and misery. Now I can do whatever I want. I don’t want any drama; I don’t want to argue; I don’t want to answer to anybody. I’ve worked too hard to get here, and I’m loving this freedom.”
Tyler on the importance of using your own money when doing business…
“The thing about using other people’s money is they’re going to set the rules. So at the beginning I used my money, kept reinvesting in myself. Now I own all my content, as opposed to having someone else own it and me being ‘work for hire.’ That’s the difference between doing well and having generations of wealth to pass on to your children.”
Alex Cross opens on October 19th, 2012.
