Bossip: Is it difficult to have a relationship in Hollyweird?
Gbenga: I have reservations about dating. I consider myself down to earth, but my bullsh*t detector is really sharp. I can spot people who have the wrong intentions right away. Recently, I got a call out of the blue from an old friend, a beautiful model who has obviously gotten by on her looks. Right off the bat, I knew what the call was about. She wanted to go out and she went right into business mode. She was willing to do whatever to get wherever. In this particular phone conversation it was like she didn’t even add fluff to it. That’s an insult.

Bossip: Now the ladies know what NOT to do. What does a woman have to do to get with you?
Gbebga: She has to be smart, kind, exciting and have a sense of global citizenry. It’s like, if you see yourself as a global citizen and understand the effect you have on others, you put the world ahead of yourself. I want someone who challenges me… not confronts me… but pushes me to be better. She should be beautiful inside and out.

Okay ladies, you heard him, put the shovels down and don’t even try it. If you want to see more of Gbenga, not to worry, he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. We spent a little more time with him and found out he’s got a lot of irons on the fire. He’s bi-coastal and lives in NY but spends a lot of time in L.A. doing promotion for ‘Lottery Ticket’ and starting work on new projects. He currently works as a representative for nonprofits such as All for Africa, Rewired for Change and Shine on Sierra Leone. Gbenga is also a freelance writer for the NY Times and he’ll be returning for a second season as Pastor Isaiah Easton in ‘The Good Wife’, which will air on CBS September 28.
