Common partly credits girlfriend Tiffany Haddish for his abs

Last Modified: 1st Sep 2023

Actor and rapper Common recently flaunted his abs in People magazine’s “Sexiest Man Alive” issue, giving out some credits to his comedian and actress girlfriend Tiffany Haddish, 41.

He told Tamron Hall, “Listen, she contributed to a certain degree, but only by inspiring… You have a great partner. You want to look good… but let’s face it, I want to be great. I knew I was going to be seen by a lot of people… Tiffany wanted to take the credit. She gets some credit, but she’s not getting all the credit.”

He also revealed that his journey to getting into shape and leading a healthy lifestyle was inspired by his dad Lonnie Lynn, who passed away in 2014 from prostate cancer.

“Seeing my father go through prostate cancer, I was inspired in ways that he, at one point, was focused on taking these Dr. Sebi herbs and really focused on his diet. And he saw the results of him living longer and living healthier even with prostate cancer,” he said. “But … unfortunately, because it probably had been further along than we had wished… [cancer] did eventually cause his death, and it made me know that I have to take care of myself.”

The 48-year-old who won the 2015 Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and the Academy Award for Best Original Song for his song Glory from the film Selma, spoke of his father, “Seeing my father go through prostate cancer, I was inspired in ways that he, at one point, was focused on taking these Dr. Sebi herbs and really focused on his diet. And he saw the results of him living longer and living healthier even with prostate cancer. But … unfortunately, because it probably had been further along than we had wished… [cancer] did eventually cause his death, and it made me know that I have to take care of myself.”

He also talked with Hall about his YouTube health and wellness series “Com&Well” and his vegan diet, encouraging everyone to take up healthy lifestyle choices. He also focused on particularly “black and brown communities, because our communities have less access to health care.”
