Taye Diggs may have another cancelled primetime television show under his belt, but he's still considered one of Hollywood's leading men.
While the Rochester, New York-reared stud is the object for desire for his adoring female fan base -- who may have seen him in romantic comedies 'Brown Sugar,' 'The Wood' and 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back' -- he may be turning over a new leaf.
Literally.
In a recent interview with fashion magazine 'Elle,' Diggs talked candidly about his shoe addiction, his nerdy days, and his fashion sensibility. When asked who would he choose if his life depended on sleeping with a man, the chiseled-chest Broadway trained thespian told Andrew Goldman, "It would have to be a really put-together brother. So, Tyson Beckford.'
Hmmmmmmm.
I know the old adage "a little means a lot" but this is MUCH!!!
The irony in the statement -- aside from the obvious-- is the fact that Diggs beat out Beckford for the role of the male love interests in 1998's 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back,' which starred Angela Bassett and Whoopi Goldberg. Back then, Diggs was a notable member of the Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway musical 'Rent' and Beckford was making history as the very first black male supermodel.
As blogged about by BV's very own Marcus Vanderberg, Diggs' latest foray onto television via the action series 'Day Break' was ill-fated.
On Jan. 2, Diggs -- legally known as Scott Diggs-- will turn 35 (or 36 -- depending on who you ask). On Jan. 11, he celebrated six years of marriage to his 'Rent' co-star Idina Menzel.
Well, if he doesn't see Tyson.
Ha.

Why would an interviewer (unless suspecting some underlyings) pose such a question? Personally, even for entertainment purposes, there are so many questions the public would find intriguing and interview worthy. Let Black voices be heard as grownups and the silliness will ebb.

i wholeheartedly agree with bm hicks, and would like to add to that, i, a bonifide "man" would have responded with something like, " if my life depended on sleeping with a man, you would be coming to my funeral" ya digg?
no real man would even consider the question. i would also have asked the interviewer, why would u ask such a question? hmmmmm
