When most people see a sexy face they think attitude comes along with it. I am so excited to feature one of the sexiest actors and models that I have ever worked with in my career. JR Rolley is the new face that has trail blazed in film, television, and fashion. Just recently he was recognized internationally for his sex appeal and I am thrilled to dish with this humble, sweet, funny and very talented individual who plays my love interest on Christopher Street. JR Rolley puts away any myths about sexy men and he shows a softer side of the bad boy next door, here is what JR had to say.
Who would you say is the sexiest man alive? I have to say with all due Respect President Obama, The way he handles himself under pressure is remarkable and I think quite sexy. I will leave it at that...not going where Tyson Beckford went recently.
What was the first thing you thought when you found out you were named the sexiest man alive in DNA Magazine? well this is their "Sexiest Man Alive" edition and I was only one of the seventy men selected to be in this issue. But I honestly was like wow this is an international publication that notice a guy from the Bronx...made me smile*
Who were some of the other men that were featured in the story? That's the great part DNA "Sexiest Man Alive " edition features not just Actors and Models but Political Figures, Athletes, Musicians, Fashion Designers, Porn Stars, straight and gay. Darryl Steven is on page 81 and I was happy but not surprised to see Hugh Jackman.
How many men of color were included? I would say about seven or eight but understand DNA is based in Australia however has readership in all of Europe, The UK, U.S. and Canada
What is sexy? It's all pretty relative...it's can be attitude, the way someone holds you or let you hold them, in a kiss, smell or walk. It can be in your swagger depending on your delivery.
What do you do to keep your sexy up? SEXY? I think I clean up well but I don't think I'm sexy. I'm an Actor I can portray certain things at any given time but it's not real. I go to the gym often and take care of myself like I should because I love me...and as we get older you have to step up how you care for you..that is what my blog (MIND BODY& SOUL) is about.
Who is your favorite photographer to work with? Why? Maya Guez is brutal, candid and a perfectionist. She has worked with Boris, John Legend and Trey Songz after leaving her session you think you were in a marathon, she works you out but the results "perfection" ...go to mayaguezphoto.com and see for yourself!
Growing up how did you view yourself? My MOM always instilled confidence...so I was always believed in me and was so eager to go into Manhattan and show off, just show what I can do
What do you find most sexy in women? Curves hands down...only a beautiful woman can just silence a room when she walks in.
What is a basic workout routine that someone can do to stay fit and get sexy for the winter? I swear by the ab wheel...it will be amazing for your core, arms and back. Also very inexpensive, you can do it while you watch TV and you can travel with it(no room for excuses with this device)
What is the inspiration behind your blog? MIND BODY & SOUL is the title of it and these three attributes have to be nourished as we get older. It features fitness tips, entertainment and politics. In addition People always ask me about what really happens on set -like what is Marcus Patrick like? or ask me what do I do to stay in shape? so this away to stay connected to the few people who always wished me well through my career.
Where can we get more JR and get a copy of DNA magazine? My website is JR-OnTheVerge.com and The issue I'm featured in is the November issue #116 "The Sexiest Man Alive"edition I'm on page 71 will be available Oct 16th at Barnes & Nobles, Borders or if you are in a major city any magazine store!
