Tyrese: Tyrese Gibson
built 190 days ago
Talk about a triple-threat: No one could've predicted from his humble beginnings in the Watts area of Los Angeles that Tyrese Gibson would become the star he is today. Blessed with a supple tenor voice, charisma and chiseled good looks, he made the most of his talents. He has parlayed them into a successful singing career (four solid solo albums include the hit singles "Sweet Lady," "Lately," "One" and "How You Gonna Act Like That"), print ads and a series of memorable roles in films ( Baby Boy, Four Brothers, Transformers). Music happens to be his first love, so watching this performer live in his element, especially while he flexes those trademark pecs and six-pack, is definitely worthwhile.

Tyrese Gibson was born on December 30, 1978, and grew up in the tough south-central Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts. He was the youngest of four children raised by his single mother, Priscilla Murray. The scene of civil unrest both in the 1960s and after the Rodney King verdict in the 1990s, Watts was a neighborhood beset by drugs and gang warfare, but Tyrese was determined to avoid falling into the way of life they represented. He threw himself into one school activity after another, playing football and basketball and joining the track team. "Everything I could do to stay out of harm's way, I did," he told People.
