Chris Tucker Chooses Patience Over Play
Our favorite fast-talking comedy legend is slowing things down in a major way where it matters most. During a recent exclusive, phone-free stand-up show at The Wynn in Las Vegas, Chris Tucker dropped a massive, unexpected bomb on the audience: he has been practicing celibacy for more than three years.
Saving It for the One
While discussing the wild state of modern dating and relationships, the iconic Rush Hour actor got candid about his private journey. “Well, I’m celibate. I’ve been celibate for 3 years, but I’m really trying to get married. I give it to the love this time,” Chris Tucker reportedly shared with the crowd. Though the crowd erupted, Tucker admitted his own inner circle struggles to buy his new lifestyle. He joked that even his niece doubts his commitment, noting that she believes in extraterrestrials long before she believes her famous uncle is keeping his hands to himself.
Hilarious Realities of Modern Romance
The comedic genius didn’t stop there, offering hilarious anecdotes about the reactions he receives from women when he breaks the news. Tucker recalled one encounter where a woman immediately assumed his abstinence had a price tag, asking “how much” it would cost to break the streak. His response was classic: “I’m not selling it. I’m celibate!” He also teased that his path of patience has brought some lonely nights, jokingly admitting that he has resorted to flirting with virtual assistants Siri and Alexa just to feel something.
Focusing on Faith, Love, and Rush Hour 4
This spiritual and personal transition comes at an exciting moment in his career. While fans patiently await official updates on the highly-anticipated Rush Hour 4 film, Tucker is keeping his energy aligned, focused on faith, real love, and eventually finding the right woman to build a lifetime partnership with.
