Taye Diggs
Remember the premise behind the movie “How Stella Got Her Groove Back?” It was about an older woman, played by the fine-*ss Angela Bassett, who fell in love with a West Indian man on a trip to the island of Jamaica. There she found a beautiful chocolate young man named Winston Shakespeare who charmed her out of her …Uhm … her socks. Well, that was the first time the movie-going world got a chance to see Taye Diggs in all of her “glory.” Since then the now 50-year-old has been breaking hearts across the silver and small screens and on Broadway stages. And he still can play roles that are meant for characters at least 20 years his junior.
So baby-faced as this Newark native, that he has had to grow facial hair and let it turn grey. He says that part of why he looks so young is that he is manicured— check his silver goatee— and he makes sure that his smile is bright and white. Is that it? He also walks with confidence and a warm personality, making you want to be around him… and sometimes that makes you look even betterer than an old-fashioned oatmeal facial.
