Michael Ealy is speaking up about rumors that he’s dating his Think Like A Man love interest Taraji P. Henson.
If you believed that Michael and Taraji were taking their work home, then Michael knows he must have done a great job on the set!
The actor cleared up the rumors gossip during his recent visit to "The Wendy Williams Show," where he joked that Taraji has been a little pressed about him as of late.
"I know where this is coming from because after the film Taraji was stalking me a little bit. I think that’s what’s really spawning all of these rumors. So I told her, ‘You know, you gotta stop. It was just a movie,’" Michael said with a smile. "Um, but, no, no seriously, we’re not together. But I guess we sold it onscreen because a lot of people believed that."
Despite some rather steamy scenes in the romantic comedy, Michael’s mom was pretty pleased with his performance, too.
"She was happy about Think Like a Man," Michael told Wendy. "Her biggest question every time I do a movie is, ‘Are you gonna die?’ And then the second question is, ‘Are you gonna be naked?’"
