Chocoholics

We can’t say it enough, we love dark chocolate brothers. Perfect example — Don Cheadle. Those intense, dark eyes and that smooth, sexy complexion make us swoon. Not to mention, the brother’s got talent. Shall we take a look at the other gents?

No matter what, we keep coming back to British actor Idris Elba for his devastating looks and even more appealing swagger.

Wow Factor

We knew Mechad Brooks was sexy, but we didn’t know he was so ripped until we saw his Calvin Klein underwear ad. We wouldn’t mind seeing that again.

The Prototype

Morris Chestnut may be the sexiest bald-headed man in Hollywood. He is the epitome of the perfect dark chocolate man.

Oraine Barrett

Our hearts beat for Jamaican fashion model Oraine Barrett. His piercing eyes and island swagger make us swoon. That sexy scar adds an element of danger to such a beautiful face.

I’m Melting

Look at the dimples on Lamman Rucker. We melt every time he flashes that cute smile. And we can’t help but notice his tall frame and broad shoulders. Simply delicious.

OK, Kimora, we’re jealous! The model turned mogul struck gold when she got hitched to actor Djimon Hounsou…

Haitian model and actor Jimmy Jean-Louis is so hot we have to splash water on our faces every time he flashes across our TV screens.

You Give Me Fever

He may be 40 now, but Tyson Beckford makes us weak in the knees like we’re 19-year-old girls. Those sultry eyes and ever-puckered lips give us a rush.

He’s The One

Blair Underwood is so dreamy, we’ve been swooning over him for more than two decades. He takes a piece of our hearts with him every time he stares into the camera.

Dark and Delicous

This chocolate young’un has had us in a tizzy ever since we laid eyes on him. We love a man who is aware of his sexy, and Lance Gross wears it well.

Take My Breath Away

We’re pretty sure women have written poems about actor Nate Parker’s lips and sexy smooth complexion. We could spend ages pondering his sweet smile and cute dimples.

Slam Dunk Hottie

Dwyane Wade is Miami’s best kept secret in more ways than one. The 6’4" baller is an all star in the looks department.

Multi-talented

Choreographer and dancer Darrin Dewitt Henson danced his way into our hearts when he starred in “Stomp the Yard” in 2003. He never left. We’re not complaining.

Yum!

Look at the lips on Nigerian-English “OZ” and “Lost” actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. We want to kiss him on the mouth and lick that smooth chocolate face.

Go Long!

We like staring at Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson’s cute face when he’s on the red carpet and we love staring at his cute butt when he’s on the field.
