The Village People

“I grew up in Newark, New Jersey and the term ‘it takes a whole village to raise a child’ was me growing up around my family,” Michael — who was raised on the same street where his grandmother, great aunt and cousins lived — told us.

The Denzel Principle

Michael’s been called The Denzel Washington of his generation. “The first time I heard it I was like, ‘Who me?’” he laughs. “The more I hear it, it pushes me to raise the bar for myself and continue to learn and grow in this industry.” Time will tell if he stays sexy throughout his career, like Denzel.

I Alone

A thinking man, Michael appreciates spending time by himself. “I love alone time, just me and my thoughts,” he explains. I’m also persistent and well thought out especially with things I want, and I love to smile and laugh."

“I’ve heard I have nice eyes and nice lips,” Michael says. “Ladies, what do y’all think?” We’d have to agree, Michael. Those lips are oh so kissable.

Tradition

“With me little things go a long way,” Michael says. “I like a woman that will be a woman and let a man be a man. I guess I’m kind of old fashioned that way.”

What Boys Like

“My turn-ons: cute feet, a woman who will take my plate after I’m finished eating — the little things — whispering Spanish or any [foreign] language in my ear,” Michael lists. Te amo, mi amor. Te amo mucho.
