Here’s some of what he had to say.

On dating Taraji Ealy says jokingly,

“What I can tell you  is that, that after the film, and I know where this is coming from, cause Taraji was stalking me a little bit. And I think that’s what’s really spawning all these rumors, so I told her, you know, you gotta stop.

But it was just a movie. No, no seriously, we’re not together, we’re not together. But I guess we sold it on screen cause a lot of people believed it.”

Watch below for more on what Mr. Ealy had to say.

“Before I saw that documentary, I would wear fur. But I saw this documentary, and I was riveted. I cried. Could you imagine somebody ripping your hair out, while you’re still awake, fully conscious? It’s ridiculous, for the sake of fashion.”

“I don’t think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. You don’t have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that.”
