Laz Alonso Covers "Rolling Out" Magazine!

WHEW!!!!! Chiiiiiile, That Man Right There!

Washington DC's own, actor Laz Alonso so gracefully covers the latest issue of "Rolling Out" Magazine where he discusses women, relationships, his new film "Jumping The Broom" and more!

Excerpts under the break....

Does he approach women?

It depends on the setting. I won’t approach a woman at a grocery store or gas station. If the conversation naturally strikes up, and I’m feeling the energy, then I’ll ask for a number and see where it leads. One time, I tried to approach a woman on the street in passing, but I crashed and burned. It’s a special skill, and I know guys who do that well, but I’m not that guy.

 

I'm not a fan of this pose, but hey...Jesus died for our sins.

So are you "involved"?

Your boy is single. However, I have a strict policy about my personal life. You can’t let people into certain things in your life. Otherwise, you can’t get them out. They didn’t burst in. You let them in. So, when it’s time to kick them out, and they don’t go, it’s on you. [It's harder to date in the spotlight] because you have to work harder in keeping things away from the public’s consumption. People who love and support you will do so no matter who you date, but people who don’t love and support you are the ones who will do whatever it takes to end that relationship for whatever reason. I’m not trying to give those who don’t support me more ammunition to shoot me down. They have to work hard to shoot me down.

 

 

On his new film, "Jumping The Broom"

I have friends from D.C. and my Howard friends and Wall Street friends. Now, I have my Hollywood entertainment friends. Plus, my character’s mother was a loud voice in his head and, coming from a single-parent home, I have a loud [mother], too. She’s louder than Loretta Devine and in two languages. So, there is a balancing act because you can have the same situation, and these groups give you different ways to respond. One thing the film taught me is that, at a certain point, you have to stand up for yourself and make your own decisions. You have to have that to make love last and face anyone in your life to put love first.

DC is DEFINITELY in the building! YESSSIR!
