Djimon Strikes Back
Posted by Bossip Staff
Kimora’s boo Djimon recently spoke at a Senate hearing to fight for runaway and homeless youth – something he is all too familiar with.
“In the early 1980s, when he was in his teens, the African-born future model and actor was a homeless youth in Paris. ‘I lived on the streets for some time – fighting for survival, searching out nothing more than my daily necessities for a meager existence. In the ‘wintertime, when I didn’t have enough warm clothes to sustain the harsh weather outside, I was sent to a juvenile prison to spend the night. It was three or four years before I was discovered on the street by a fashion designer [Thierry Mugler] and my life started to turn around, eventually.’
‘It’s not something I think about every day, thank God. But it’s something that oftentimes hits me again,’ he said, adding, ‘It’s good to think about it sometimes, to remember where you came from.’”
With humble beginnings such as those, it’s a wonder that he can even stomach Kimora’s lavish over-the-top-ness. It’s nice to see him giving back though. We’ve said it before, but that Kimora is one lucky lady.

Sometimes when we look at celebrities, we only see what they have TODAY as opposed to their struggle to achieve what they have.

@ dave is it hard hating others because you have frog face disease?
ur mother b^TCH!!!
he is a cl*****y man but I dont think he is cute at all just my opinion, if he is cute then why is 50 cent mugly
His sexiness meter just went up about 50 more notches for me. Chocolate, sexy, and he has some humility! I give him and Kimora 1 more year, because she’s going to get on his nerves with all of her “fabulosity”. It’s probably cute and fun right now, but that s**t gets old when you have to live it day-in and day-out.
and exactly why is kimora lucky…. mabe it’s the *****, has to be hang’n super low..especially comen frm russel shriveled up wormy… he looks like his ***** is packn, but he ain’t a looker at alll!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amistadz I SEE YOU WADDUP!!
i think thats awesome, if you get the youth in their right mind the future will look better and getting people off the streets is a big step and hopefully he has some kind of awareness doing this. i think him and kimora are just the cutest couple! does anyone think they will get married? he seems really sweet with her two daughters too
Maybe he’ll rub off on Kimora. Let’s hope.
