Well hello there sexy! Boris Kodjoe and his hotness are covering the newest issue of UPSACLE magazine. Check out his cover and how he likes to remain a regular guy when you go inside…

Well this surely brighten our Saturday.

Boris Kodjoe and his good looks are gracing the cover of the Sept/Oct issue of UPSCALE magazine. And he’s looking quite scrumptious.

The German-born actor is set to star in an upcoming drama film titled Addicted, based on the best-selling novel by Zane. He plays the husband to a successful businesswoman Zoe Reynard (starring Sharon Leal) in the provocative thriller, which is set to hit theaters October 14th.

In the cover story, Boris dishes on trying to step outside the box with new roles, attempting to be a regular guy and taking people’s perceptions with a grain of salt.

Here are the highlights:

On Hollywood:

“Hollywood puts you in a box and they don’t like you stepping to the left or right of that. I’ve tried as much as I can to just spread my wings when the opportunity arose. And it’s tough, I’m not gonna lie, ‘’cause they don’t let you. You really have to scratch and fight for the chance to show them that you can do it.”

On Being a Regular Guy:

"I could walk around with security guards and make it really weird on everybody and draw a lot of attention. But I like to move around like a regular person.”

On being over people's perceptions:

“If I started worrying about how people perceive me, I would be mad about people not realizing that I couldn’t even speak English when I first came here. People always give so much props to English actors that do an American accent convincingly. I had to learn how to walk and talk and move around so I could be accepted as somebody who plays African-American roles. There’s not one other German actor who has established himself as playing American characters. I’m proud of that. I use it as encouragement to myself that I don’t have to put limitations on where I wanna go.”

Nice!

And we are definitely here for his sexy new movie Addicted.
