DJIMON HOUNSOU FOR CALVIN KLEIN
Thursday, July 19, 2007
Check out Kimora’s man, Djimon Hounson in the new Calvin Klein Steel underwear campaign. The shots were reportedly taken in the Hollywood Hills.
The Oscar-nominee told the New York Post:
“I regularly watch how much, when and what I eat. It really becomes a daily journey. You just have to do it - get up, eat something, go to the gym - so you can burn as much as you can and look lean. It’s pretty challenging.” [SOURCE]
He did a good job, because he looks good.

If I wanted to lump everyone in the same category. I wouldve said ALL. I said ALOT. Not a MAJORITY. If you wanna credit me as ignorant, that’s your choice…but also contradictory to your response to what I said/typed. If you, in fact, observed what I observed (as you have)…then you know the basis of my comment. Like I said, if you are in that 10%…then the comment wasn’t for you. The other 90%, know I’m talking to them.

As you know I work in a High School in Newark as a Social Worker.
I work with over 1,100 students in Three different schools….
Part of my Job Description is to build self esteem
So….Every young lady that comes into my office for advice, I will tell them that they are so pretty and very smart…
For every young man that comes into my offfice, I tell them that they are tall, strong, handsome & brillant.
It’s really not in my DNA to say anything bad about a person, unless I’m provoked.

Basically when you can’t intelligently express yourself you retort to name-calling? Wow! I was TRYING to be polite when I said that you were REACHING with calling her statement or opinion UNCOUTH. However, since it is painfully obvious that you were just attempting to use a word in which you CLEARLY don’t understand…
Also, since you want to analyze statements and were SO concerned as to how she arrived at her opinion…how do you gather that either one of us is a lowlife?

No I did not resort to name-calling..I called you out as I did her…obviously you did not read her statement..well let me reiterate. COMPLX..basically stated the women on this board giving Djimon his sexy props..are doing it to be politically correct because the brother is Dark complected…now tell me how is that not UNCOUTH? Now don’t get me wrong…I completely understand her saying she does not find him attractive..because we all have our preferences in men/women. However, to make a stament like that was derrogatory to all who find this man attractive..as well as the man himself. So yes I stated you are a low-life as well..because you attacked those who spoke out against her ignorance..which makes you guilty by association!

He is sooooooooooo goergous. This is the epitomy of a beautiful human being. The richness of his skin is undeniably sexy. How can any woman find him unattractive.
Listen ladies, if you are attracted to a man for the right reasons, it won’t matter how dark his skin is. The man is absolutly georgous! And he has an amazing talent, and he speaks more than one language, and he has a voice to die for. He is a total package. Congrats to Kimora, but I really don’t see the connection with them. She seems so superficial and he seems a lot deeper than her. I don’t get it.
And Bill, you are so right, people will loose their minds when they see these pics but the white women will be fantasizing about him, wishing they could have him. As a matter of fact, I am sure he gets hit on my more white women than any other race.
They know whats good. The women are not intimidated by someone like him. They want him just as bad as any Black woman. Maybe even more because of the idea of being with such a beautiful, strong looking man.
But the modeling industry knows who he is because modeling is where he started in Paris. They know he is awesome. It is just my opinion, but I do not think that he and Kimora will last. I think he will follow the trend of many African men who end up with White women. We have to remember that he did not grow up in the US so he is probably more open to dating other races besides Black women. I would not be surprised if he ended up with someone like Seal has.
It is sooooooo common in Europe. African man - White (European woman)
No matter what, any woman would love to have him holding her at night.

@174 I did read her statement. How is her statement UNCOUTH??? Forget it. You will never understand where I’m going with this.
I did NOT attack “those who spoke out against her ‘ignorance.’” People are entitled to their opinions. I just said that you were REACHING with using the word UNCOUTH. I didn’t say that I disagreed with you or Complexndope. You can’t in one breath reserve the right to your opinion & take that right away from someone else in the next. So, you decide to say we are both of low social status & moral character because you have a problem with something we wrote on a blog?

WESTERN SOCIETY AND WHITE PEOPLE IN GENERAL HAVE SUCCEEDED IN BRAINWASHING US AFRICAN-AMERICAN. I COULDN’T CARE LESS WHETHER ONE FINDS THIS MAN ATTRACTIVE OR NOT, WHAT I AM TRULY SAD ABOUT IS WHEN I READ COMMENTS SAYING (I paraphrase): “THOSE WHO SAY THAT HE IS ATTRACTIVE ARE HYPOCRITES OR JUST BEING POLITICALLY CORRECT.” FOR THE LIFE OF ME, I CANT UNDERSTAND THAT TYPE OF THINKING. IN THIS VIRTUAL WORLD THAT IS THE INTERNET, WHY WOULD ANYONE STATE THAT THIS MAN IS BEAUTIFUL AND NOT MEAN IT?
NO WONDER WE ARE NOT RESPECTED BY ANYONE AND ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF SOCIETY. WE MOST OF THE TIME MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE FEATURES IDENTICAL TO THAT OF OUR ANCESTORS AND MOST OF US DON’T FIND A BLACK PERSON ATTRACTIVE UNLESS THEY ARE LIGHT-SKINNED, HAVE LONG HAIR (FAKE OR NOT) ETC. (I USED TO BE GUILTY OF THAT TOO WHEN I WAS 11).
FOR THE RECORD, I FIND HIM ATTRACTIVE BECAUSE I THINK HE IS BEAUTIFUL, WELL-SPOKEN, TALENTED, CARRIES HIMSELF WITH DIGNITY, AND I LIKE HOW HE HAS STRUGGLED AND WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO GET TO WHERE HE IS TODAY. BEAUTY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SKIN COLOR OR FACIAL FEATURES (IMO). RATHER, I THINK IT’S ABOUT THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. IF THIS MAN WAS DUMB, LAZY (ETC…) AND HAD A TERRIBLE PERSONALITY, I WOULD MOST LIKELY NOT FIND HIM BEAUTIFUL. BUT I THINK HE IS GREAT AND I LOVE HIS SMOOTHNESS.
BLACK PEOPLE, STOP DEPLORING WHITE RACISM AND TAKE A LOOK IN THE MIRROR. READ SOME BOOKS ABOUT AFRICA AND YOUR HERITAGE. LEARN TO LOVE AND RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE YOU CRY ABOUT OTHERS NOT GIVING YOU PROPS, MOVIE ROLES, MODELING CONTRACTS ETC.
SALAM,

and i forgot to say: THANK YOU TO CALVIN KLEIN for giving him that opportunity. it’s long overdue!
we can criticize whites and calvin klein all we want, but when i open black magazines or watch BET, it’s EXTREMELY rare that I see a DARK SKIN model/news anchor/V-jay etc…everybody is usually light-skinned, long hair, and is closest to white as possible. that’s the truth. I hate racism coming from whites and others, but it doesn’t bother me because my own brothers/sisters in America hate themselves.
I am extremely light skinned but I pray and hope the man i am going to fall in love with and marry will be as dark as Djimon so our kids can be as chocolate as possible. screw what the world thinks is beautiful!

another thing i think we as african-american women could do to elevate ourselves is to STOP reinforcing others stereotypes of our men. Everytime the beauty of a black man (specially an African one) is discussed, the first thought that come to people’s mind is his penis and how he must be “packing” and terms like “mandigo” etc. are used. This man (Djimon) as well as MANY black men out there have much more going for them than just the size of their “packages”. When people talk about fine white men (i.e. Brad Pitt, George Clooney etc.) or fine light-skinned men, they usually talk about their features and RARELY make comments about how they must be “packing”. But as soon as a dark African is shown, his penis size is mentionned. Let’s stop that people. That ain’t cute!
Dark Skin men can be beautiful, smart, have nice eyes, nice lips etc….if they happen to be “packing” (and God knows that not all of them are), then GREAT!!!!
Okay, I’ll get off my soapbox for the night. All I want is for us black people to start loving and respecting ourselves and not fall prey to the divide/conquer mentality others exercise on us. We are beautiful in our own right and don’t need others to validate that undeniable fact or to try our darndest to look like others in order to be considered beautiful. Work with what God gave you, carry yourself with dignity, love yourself…..the rest will follow.

@victoria….wow! That has to be the best post I’ve ever read on any site. girl, you speak the truth and I applaud you.
I am Freshman in college now (go to a mostly white school in Connecticut) and I met this one dark skinned Haitian there and I have learned so much about race from talking to him. The brother is fine and if I had a secret crush on him from day one (but I have a boyfriend). White and Asian girls go nuts over him…they all absolutely love him and are always trying to hook up with him. Black girls on the other hand (the ones I have talked to) don’t find him attractive because he is too dark (I swear one of them said that…another one said: “imagine how dark our kids would be…I would hate that!”. I couldn’ t stop shaking my head when I heard that. The guy did everything to get with one of the black girls the first month at school and no one would holla back. they made fun of his features, accent and so forth. Now that the white and asian girls are all over him and that he is dating a white girl, the black girls are all hating and talking about how he is a sellout.
I just don’t get us black people! What I also don’t get is how most of us prefer light-skin yet we hate on those of us who date and marry white people (which will result in us having light-skined kids). The people we have on TV that are considered beautiful by the mainstream are all mixed (halle berry comes to mind) and our men love them.
Anyway, I could go on and on about this issue because it makes me so sad and I am so ashamed that my brothers and sisters are still hung up on that color issue. White people see ALL OF US (whether we look like Halle or we look like Whoopy Goldberg) as BLACK. But we see and refer to another as “light skinned”, “dark skinned” “African looking”, “Mandingo” etc…what a shame!
Kudos to Victoria. This is a sad situation, but I am at least happy to know that they are some people who have successfully fought the brainwashing!

Victoria,
I hear ya, but think about this. White and Black people have been steriotyping the Black man and his penis since forever. Black people have been so programed to think that their only value is to their sexual abilities. You are correct that we as women need to stop looking at the penis as the defining traite of a Black man. There are so many more wonderful levels to the Black man but unfortunately, the media and the government have been constant conspirators of sexualizing the Black race into, male and female. Just look at the movies that come out that are marketed towards the Black community. And, Black people just eat that shyt up without realizing that they have bought into the grand mind job. We truly believe that who we are is linked directly to how big our man’s penis is out how sexy the black woman can look in a video. It is really sad that I was thinking the same thing that so many people focussed on what he “appears” to have. To say that he is packing just on a photo alone is one more example of how this society thinks that the African man has a large penis. He might very well be but that is neither here nor there because the rest of us can only speculate. Like I said he is a total package and it is sad to see so many people only focus on what he must be able to do in the bed with Kimora.
The entire world has this view of the Black man so the whole of the world would have to decondition themselves the see the Black man as more than just a sexual creature.
Peace

l liked your post too. I was kind of mentioning that too when I said that Di will probably end up with someone who is not African-American because men like him are viewed as unattractive because of the color of his skin, whereas, women of other races will find him extremely exotic. That is not to say that other races of women don’t steriotype as well, but in my experience, Black American women usually don’t like extremely dark men let alone an African man born in Africa. In my travels I noticed that African men are the object of desire for many cultures other than in America. We hate our roots so much but when it comes to sex, well, sisters will lay it out there for a big …..!
And, another thing, Black men from other countries know a thing or two about us and our history, sometimes more so than we do of ourselves.

“White people see ALL OF US (whether we look like Halle or we look like Whoopy Goldberg) as BLACK.”
That’s God’s truth right there! Thanks for reminding us sister….we are just dumb negroes who have been brainwashed and have become racist against our own people……. we have been put down and disrespected so much and have been so affected by slavery, jim crows……that we take it out on one others today. everything you and that lady victoria said is the truth. I hate white racism but to be completely honest, I am much more bothered by black racism and all the things black do to each other (black on black crime, black men deserting their women and kids, the ghettoness, the bling-bling, the eccentric weaves, the rims in the cars etc…)
and that person who said that Calvin Klein should be thanked is right. I have personnally NEVER seen a dark-skinned women or men with genuine African features (except for Akon maybe) featured as a model in a black magazine, TV show, as a news anchor, video vjay, etc…NEVER! Let’s wash our own laundry first before we talk about others.
thank you to you sister and to victoria
PS: Oy yeah, Djimon is fine as hell! If society wasn’t as messed up, this man would be talked about as the next James Bond or be mentionned as a sex symbol in the same category as brad pitt, clooney, affleck, david beckam and the usual suspects *yawn*

I have always found this man handsome and beautiful. And it has absolutely nothing to do with his body or skin color. I just love his presence, smile (especially in that janet jackson video) and his aura. he seems so polished, distinguished, kind, and gentle. I don’t know what it is. he just got it and I think kimora is one lucky girl. I guess the only thing I don’t like about him is the fact that he is dating such a girl. he can do so much better. but I am sure that most black women in hollywood wouldn’t go for him…I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up with a white girl.
Check out how sweet and articulate he sounds here (this is such a great departure from most of our public black men who talk all ghetto and stuff: http://www.youtube.com/wa...;mode=related&search=

And here with Leo Di Caprio (he is handsome, but do you really think that he looks better than Djimon??????????????????)…I am not too crazy about the salt and pepper beard but he is still fine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HBuwC6U530
This man is IT! so fine, so sexy, so handsome, so articulate and so great. our black kids need to see more men like him on TV….what a great role model ( I like Forrest whitaker as well!)

…..I have always found this man handsome and beautiful. And it has absolutely nothing to do with his body or skin color. I just love his presence, smile (especially in that janet jackson video) and his aura. he seems so polished, distinguished, kind, and gentle. I don’t know what it is. he just got it and I think kimora is one lucky girl. I guess the only thing I don’t like about him is the fact that he is dating such a girl. he can do so much better. but I am sure that most black women in hollywood wouldn’t go for him…I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up with a white girl.

Bellissimo,
I am light complexioned but to me if a man has a good ora then he can be the finest man in the world but not about his features. I personally find his African features to be so beautiful because ! chose to embrace what is beautiful about the African/Black culture. I refuse to believe what the media tries to tell us. We should know ourselves better than anyone no matter what shade of brown we come in. We just don’t know our value because we have been brainwashed to think we have to have long straight blond hair, thin facial features, and light eyes to be considered beautiful.
There is so much hatred between Black people. I refuse to buy into it. People should look past the exterior and look at the charachter of a man.
I saw Amistad about 2 years ago for the second time and I found his presence to be to be so awesome and it really did not have anything to do with his skin tone. He just has it! I really can’t put a finger on it eigther, he is just it!
I loooooved him in the Gladiator and Blood Diamonds! The man is just awesome.

I guess the brother has bills to pay but I just wish he could say NO to stereotypical roles that hollywood keeps throwing at him (Blood Diamond, Gladiator etc…he always play the same character). I would love to see him cast in a James bond movie (WHY the hell not????), a doctor, a romantic comedy (I guess he did Beauty shop but that was not oscar worthy) and the same role Brad Pitt get.
and also I don’t need to see him in his briefs and all oiled up to think that he is Fine. The man is FINE because he is simply beautiful and he has what many men lack: a great presence. Being able to speak many languages and being smart and dignfy helps also….oh yeah he has a great smile as well….I could go on and on about the things that make him fine and not mentionned how he appears to have a large manhood and all thos corny stereotypes.
You go Djimon. May God bless him to have an ever better hollywood career. You make us all proud……BUT PLEASE stay away from the likes of Cameron and Kimora.

Call me old fashioned but I like a man that eats. I think any guy that says “So you can burn as much as you can and look lean” it too into himself and possibly gay. What happened to muscular guys that eat what they want and look great.

YUMMY!! I’ve always thought he was so attractive; fully clothed. And after seeing those pictures. OMG! Have mercy!!
black, white, green, blue, brown…I don’t care what color this guy his. he is the definition of B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.
Hollywood needs more men like him IN LEAD ROLES (thanks Fab for your comment). Everybody is so effiminate and metrosexualized ( I know it’s not a word lmao) these days. A man has got to look like a man! That’s how the good lord intended it.

Ha, Ha I knew ya’ll fools would start on that complexion issue. I bet racist white folks laughing and having a ball reading most of these senseless comments. There is no other race that talk about each other(negatively) than blacks and ya’ll do it so publicly too. When whites, asian, latina etc do it at least it’s low key. They don’t get on the internet or even on televison and embaressed themselves.
The point is HE LOOK GOOD, whether ya’ll agree or not fine. He also makes a great model and even though they should of been had black models, big up to CK for having him also big up to Kimora for having him too. If you know what I mean.

P.S. When I said when white, asians, latino etc do it low key, I meant that when they talk about themselves not blacks.
I know they say some shitty things about blacks but nobody cares. Who the hell are they when we are the most beautiful and the most envied race of all.

An interesting and ‘real’ observation:
1. Black male leads (Denzel, Jamie, Wesley, Freeman, Tyson, Damon, 50 Cent) and images in Hollywood / music are ‘almost’ all chocolate or close to…
BUT….
2. Black female leads (Halle, Beyonce, Rihanna, Keyes, BET show hosts) and images in Hollywood / music are ‘almost’ all light-skinned or close to.
Synopsis: Mainstream believes that dark Black men are attractive. Mainstream believes that light-skinned Black women are attractive.
Truth: Throw away what the mainstream feeds you. Its not by us, and not good for us.
Take it light!
