It's safe to say the accomplished actor hasn't skipped a single trip to the gym.
13 Sexy Photos Of ‘A Fall From Grace’ Star Mehcad Brooks That We’re Obsessed With
By Jasmine Grant · Updated December 31, 2020

Actor Mehcad Brooks recently shook up our worlds in the recent Tyler Perry Netflix drama A Fall From Grace as the outwardly charming yet conniving heartthrob Shannon.

Unlike his sinister character, who cons his wife out of thousands of dollars and almost ruins her life, Brooks is a spiritual and grounded individual who is manifesting success in every way. After surviving two near-death experiences exactly two years apart, the former Calvin Klein model has been on a mission to live a life full of purpose.

In an interview with Page Six, the artist says he realized how precious life was and became inspired to do music under the stage name King Gvpsv.

Undeniably, Brooks is a real looker with an outstanding body. But what makes this thespian a real gem is his refreshing outlook on life. We can all learn a thing or two from him!

Scroll through the gallery to see the 13 sexiest photos of Brooks.

Stronger Than Ever
Brooks says he emerged stronger and wiser after almost drying from a parasite infection after a trip to Africa. “I was hospitalized off and on for 45 days,” he told ET Live. “My longest stint was 12 days. In the last stint, I had complications from the medications, shit went haywire and my vitals crashed. There’s a book coming about it. It changed everything for me.”

Tapped In
During an interview with the Aubrey Marcus podcast, Brooks spoke passionately about his spiritual beliefs and being connected to a divine source. “Your thoughts come from the universe,” he said. “They’re just going through you.

Health Is Wealth
The model-turned-actor has always been strict about his diet and exercise regimen. “I grew up in a healthy household,” he told ET. “Mom cooked fish, turkey, chicken, fresh veggies, etc. I lucked out. Food is fuel for the body, and if you can put good fuel in your car then you should do the same for your body.”
