His skin is gorgeous ive seen him in person, so smooth
he looks a bit asian
this site mixes up the blackest black people, sighhh. But who knows
That Asian look is anchient African, some Africans traveled to Asia. Out of Africa millions of years ago.
like thousands of year ago…
not millions
He just has Caucasian ancestry. West African Blacks tend to have big eyes in general.
African Americans with smaller eyes like him just have European blood. Europeans, especially Anglos/Germans (i.e. Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise), have smaller eyes than other races (excluding Asians).
So if you see a black man with small eyes then he/she possibly has white ancestry.
Untrue. Have you seen the Khoisan people? Small eyes come from Africa originally. Life started in Africa not Europe!
I’ve always thought Tyrese is beautiful, I, myself am in love with the color of his perfectly even toned skin. I have a friend who’s skin is just as dark and maybe just a little darker. I’m light skinned so my heart will always belong to a beautiful dark handsome man. I really don’t know what it is but I’m not big on a light skinned man.
This is a very (beautiful if I may) dark skinned black male. People, TV Guide and a host of other magazines, if he hasn’t been on your top most whatever, then something is wrong. Please do not go oops when he turns 100! I saw the promotional stuff for Transformers and was amazed that when they were using sex a peel for the other men they ‘accidently’ forgot Tyrese.
The darker your skin= best protection from the sun so less wrinkles. Yes he’s absolutely gorgeous!
This guy is SSSOOOOOOO SEXY!!! lol
