Actors like Amin Joseph are bringing chocolate men back in style! You may recognize him from the action film The Expendibles or from HBO’s Zane’s Sex Chronicles where he plays an aspiring rapper named Tarriq. The 31 year-old South Carolina-native is the latest man candy featured on the cover of Tight Rope magazine. In their Sexy Male issue, the South Carolina-native shares a bit about himself, what he does to stay in shape and what he looks for in a woman:

On the type of woman he finds attractive:
“I like a woman that is VERY PASSIONATE…I love INTELLIGENCE. I love when a woman is…I guess I can almost say, I love when a woman is smarter than me…even though I may not always want to admit it…(smile)…but I probably, you know, might…secretly. I love a woman that is GOD FEARING and that definitely takes care of herself…Umm, yeah…I love a woman that has FIRE…I love SPONTANEITY…I love a woman that has ethics and knows who she is morally…and has values instilled in her that she doesn’t compromise even if I test them…”

On how he stays physically fit:
“I play a lot of basketball. That’s my cardio and I do a lot of calisthenics. I don’t believe in working out per say…I believe in living and having a good time, you know do what you love to do. You know, if I had to run around the track I would really hate it. So, for me, mainly it’s about playing some hoops, talking some trash and being fun…living life, you know…I do some calisthenics to stay toned. For me, it’s about living a healthy lifestyle altogether. I don’t drink and I don’t smoke. To me, I really just come from a body that is the temple and it is preserved.” [Read more]

Amin Joseph is working on a number of films, including Freelancers (starring Robert Dinero, Forres Whitaker and 50cent) and possibly the Tasha Smith-directed film Soul Ties, starring Meagan Good).

Zoe Kravitz is currently featured in the April/May 2011 issue of Wonderland magazine. In an interview with the fashion magazine, the 22 year-old actress shared what it’s like to have to popular parents, the advice they have given her about Hollywood and her role on the upcoming X-Men movie:

On getting the role in X-Men: First Class:
“When it comes to stuff like X-Men, I just didn’t think that I would get that part. I just think I auditioned because people were auditioning and my agent was like, ‘Please go’, and had to talk me into going.”

On her parents’ advice for dealing with Hollywood:
“They told me not to take it seriously. People get very serious about the Hollywood fame thing and the reason I think I came out level-headed was that they didn’t raise me to think it was anything serious. I had no illusions. People get way too deep about it and in the end it’s just a job and we’re all equal.” [Read more]
