Morris Chestnut, who’ll soon hit the big screen in Best Man Holiday (November 15), covers the latest issue of UPSCALE Magazine.  Inside, the sexy chocolatey goodness opened up about having a lasting marriage in Hollywood and dished on honesty in relationships. Here are the highlights:

On letting his wife be the woman of the house:
“I let my wife be the woman. You know? I let her be the woman…And she, in turn, when it comes down to it, she lets me be the man…"

On keeping his relationship going:

“With my wife, I’m always letting her know what the deal is. ‘It’s you. Ain’t nobody else. It’s you.’ And I think, conversely, that’s what a woman needs to do for a man."

On filming The Best Man Holiday:
“This movie, this was the most challenging thing that I’ve ever had to do. I was just so emotional. The character was just so emotional—way more than the first one. When we did the first movie, the scene where I was at the altar and I had to cry when I was getting married, that shook me. For, like, years, I would think about that scene. It would give me chills.”

What have been some of your greatest success stories at the Bailey Agency School of Fashion?
My first model search winner, Nissa Pouncey, is incredible. She has been hooked up with major advertising campaigns like Abercrombie & Fitch and working during New York Fashion Week. I am so excited that through my model search I was able to make her dream come true. When I found her she was 13 years old; it feels great to change someone’s life and make it amazing. That’s the best thing I can do is actually help a kid change her life and a make a dream come true. That is what I am most proud of, that my school allows kids to “go for it” and have incredible success.

Of all your travels around the world, what is your favorite place to visit? Why?
Traveling is my passion. I love South Africa. I love Australia. You know, I get to see a lot of places through my modeling career. I love Paris, of course. I love the Caribbean, I love Angola. I could never just name just one. I got to travel early on in high school because of my modeling career. Traveling is the only thing I love doing in my spare time when I am not working or on the show or working with my school.

What prompted you to release your own doll?
From my Bailey Agency School of Fashion. … Most of my students have kids that come in that are 5 and up. My core is probably [ages] 8 to 15. I grew up playing with dolls and I never had a doll that looked like me, especially with an Afro, and that was important to me to have in my doll.
