I cannot believe this guy actually does talk and act in real life the way he acts on the big screen. Real fidgety, an animated. You can tell he is a good guy. But boy is he funny! lol
I see what you mean...
Yes dat how he act in real life wow
He was the funniest and most entertaining on that show.
@@clairedaniels1877 facts he literally kept me laughing Flex had his funny moments too but this dude here was Hilarious and he never stopped clowning
Yes!! I said the same thing. His personality seems so genuine and nice. I'd love to meet him.
This brother ALWAYS made me laugh on TV and then he just vanished out of nowhere. I can't wait for the full interview to drop
For real. He was always funny on whatever sitcom he was on. I too have felt like he just disappeared.
Yea he was hilarious
Yeah, he really is funny. I literally just added him to my list of actors I wanna work with.
I appreciated how he was always funny yet dignified. His characters were never caricatures and there was always an integrity to the humor. That’s big to me. I feel the same way about Carl Anthony Payne II (Cole from Martin)
@@JaeBee11.11 that’s a very good point
Glad he spoke on how he supports his friends. That is key to true friendship.
I wish I had friends as such.
True
Yes amen
I definitely didn't know my man ended up homeless. The entertainment industry is very hard and they are willing to throw you away as soon as they see you are not producing what they want.
Specially black kid actors! I’m still a lil surprised to see Franklin from My Wife n kids & Tyler from Everybody hates Chris are still actively working in high budget projects. It’s so many actors you wonder what happened to.
Only fools, clinically mentally ill, perverts and s*tanist want to enter that industry/ cult.
Music industry to
Homeless is relative. Giving up a million dollar home you can't afford to live in a house or apartment you can afford isn't being homeless. That's insulting. You honestly think Shaneice Wilson and Flex Alexander were on the street?
Thought he was still married to Shanice
Flex said in a interview him and his wife was spending 10s of thousands of dollars a month on material things and just plain fun not thinking his checks would slow up, Then Reality/Bills/Mortgage hit🤷🏿🤷🏿🤦🏿. He was ok with it, it was a lesson learned for them...
Isn’t he married to Shanice - I love your smile singer?? They both are so talented!
Yeah they had a reality show on own for about 3 or 4 season and it was about them picking up their lives after the fall
Well I'm not reading everybody else's s*** but I'm going to start reading is he married to Shanice
Yup! He talked about it on the show.
@@hoodhippychick Yes, he’s married to Shanice. The had a reality show on OWN talking about how they ended up bankrupt. From the show they both said they were living in a hotel while married not really homeless living on the street. Some people like to exaggerate.
Ran into Flex as a kid back in like 93 or 94 in Hartford, Connecticut , he was getting out of a limo his leg was broke, he gave us his autograph.
Yes, I can definitely picture him doing that, Dysontime. I ran into him years ago at Grant's Tomb in uptown Harlem, NY. I didn't speak to him, but just observed how down-to-earth his demeanor struck me as. You can even tell from TV he is such a class act; him AND his family. Much love to the Alexanders, specifically Uncle Spirit (smile). I miss their reality show, but sure they are blessed and doing well!
@@cee1164 yea he was cool. We was kids, I have heard abt celebs not being so nice to kids or adult,
@@Dysontime Exactly. And then there's celebs like Flex who has always been cool since he was a kid. That explains it!
@@cee1164 💯
@@cee1164 Flex might be one of the only celebs I've NEVER heard anything bad about just a solid brotha all the way around...
I felt like Dwayne always deserved his own spin off from one on one , he was hands down the funniest character in that whole show
Yes
He was absolutely hilarious. I agree with you.
But they gave the spinoff to MH 🙄
@@sbrooks729 Are we supposed to know who MH is??
@@clairedaniels1877 marques houston
The way he answered the question. His perspective of the situation in general. This can apply to all of us. He spoke in a wise way.
He and his wife got over extended on investments not tricking money off. The thing I respected about it, it seemed him and Shanice have so much love and respect for each other. She didnt disrespect him or dog him out for the things that happened with them.
LIKE JADDA SMITH comes to mind !
@@brucebeamon5460 Dont see how. Shanice was down for him and them. Jada thinks about herself.
Exactly 🙏🏾❤️
@@brucebeamon5460 no JADDA doesn’t come to mind😂🙄
Shanice Didn't Pull A JADA On Flex,Telling All Their Business,Throwing Him Under The Bus,Betraying Him,He's Got A Good Black Woman By And On His Side!!!
So many have said how cruel the entertainment industry can be. It's any wonder that some actually just get full-time jobs that are flexible while they support their other passion.
Back then, where were all these flexible jobs? Not many.
Industry isn't cruel learn how to handle your finances
Uh obviously by the very nature it's not stable, it's not cruel. If you choose to do that then that's what you choose to do. They pay the big bucks because it can end at any moment.
Flex has been opened about his financial struggles. Glad him, and Shanice are getting their finances in order. I watched their reality TV, and they are truly fighters, and survivers. Beautiful family, and they are both talented.😊
That was explained perfectly....We all are tested. Highs and Lows
Kelly Perine is an interesting and intelligent person. He has an education from school and the industry. He also has a very strong work ethic so, he will always have a plan so he won't starve.
I have had high highs and low lows and you know what I learned? To be grateful and never, ever judge. I applaud everyone that can live publicly and not fall apart when trials come. Flex and his wife have real love and God so they'll be just fine.
Yes. Life has cycles. You can be riding high, pockets overflowing one day and one thing can trigger a chain of events that can bring your situation all the way down. I love The Alexander's and admire their partnership and how they've handled their difficult times.
The thing is..... high and lows are normal in most, if not all, peoples LIVES, some more severe than others. If someone has never experienes lows in life... You havent really lived.
💯
You can take all my lows, you can have them! I prefer to be labelled as the person who hasn't lived.
@@lionxwarrior3004 🤔.. another RUclips goofy lol. When I say lows, examples...when you're trying to start a business and things dont go quite as planned and fail, when you work for a company and everything is going well, and you get laid off or fired suddenly, when life is going great and you have deaths in your family and you see the family slowly deteriorate over BS... You haven't lived....
Totally agree with you 👍🏾
That's stupid. Living is living, you don't have to be irresponsible to live.
This is the type of people I like, stay positive in negative situations access the situations and keep moving. 🙈🙉🙊
One thing to be broke but famous and broke is way worse.
I still watch 1 on 1 to this day and 70% of the reason is because of him he was super hilarious and he low key carried that show
Facts, Duane Odell Knox 😂
This was my guy he was in every Black TV show it seemed growing up funny dude underrated and a face you get used to seeing
This guy seems very genuine and a real stand up guy!! I never liked him as an actor but I do know!!
Homeless is relative. Giving up a million dollar home you can't afford to live in a house or apartment you can afford isn't being homeless. That's insulting. You honestly think Shaneice Wilson and Flex Alexander were on the street?
They weren’t on the street but in Shanice’s Unsung, she said the sheriff came to their home after it foreclosed on, gave them a couple of hours to get any essentials and they had to go to a hotel fronted by their church. They weren’t on the street but they were thisclose.
@@Aurora0510 I remember that Unsung episode.
They had a reality show centered around their financial situation, they never lived under a bridge but I think they had to live w loved ones
@@truewilliams7118 They brought their loved ones in to help with bills, I think Shanice’s mother was her manager, and they helped with their children. It was definitely a win for them and the OWN checks helped.
@@Aurora0510 ah, okay I just remember them definitely being in a house on that show
Flex gotta be the most blessed celebrity. Went homeless and still got his wife Shanice by his side. That’s real asf
Now that's the true meaning of a power couple when you and your spouse can still work through it together despite fame and money 💯
I know that's right bro finding out the financial struggles they was been put through.my heart goes out to them flex & shanice are a powerful & very humble couple.and I have so much love for shanice.for staying true to her man when things was getting tough.thats a true virtuous woman I would love to have a woman like shanice.
My fave character on One on One! He was funny af! 🤣
Highs and lows.....it's called Life
He should never have let UPN convince him to play Michael Jackson. It was all downhill from there.
This brotha is brilliant.
Well said. Great perspective 🙏🏿
Life all about perspective. Be optimistic, face your fears head on, build knowledge and intuition and I promise you will be fine
Awesome comment! Thank you 🙏🏾
@@hoodhippychick I AGREE!!
One of the main problems is when you are on top and you have money if you are not careful and you are balling like there is no tomorrow, and will end up biting you in the ass. You get hanger oners, who hang with you for your money, you got family and friends with their hands out picking your pockets and counting your money as if it was theirs, you have shady industry people who screw you out of money and you do bad investments, let alone some that do drugs and have children with random women.
This happens to athletes as well. But these people need to have a level head and get themselves a good money manager to help them through the ropes or take a course on money management so they can keep an eye on their money. Money doesn't last long if everybody is watching it except you.
I love how this brother explains things. Respect
Bro I love this brother he is so hilarious 😂
He's saying Flex homeless is nothing compared to like a Mexico or Brazil homeless because all the knowledge and connections he now has. He's only homeless by Americans perspective but to some 3rd world countries...
Like you homeless sleeping in your 2016 tesla and walking around with a $700 phone.
Nah, that’s not fair to compare or be dismissive of what that man went through. Plus that man had a wife and kids so imagine being homeless with them on his hip.
I guess it’s all about perspective. Sleeping on a couch with blankets in a nice home vs sleeping on rocks in the street are two different realities. It’s still gonna be devastating when you were independent and now you are dependent on others.
But Flex will probably be the first one to say that he was blessed to not have to sleep on rocks in the streets of Mexico with his family.
I have been homeless before but God had to teach me a lesson, a lesson well deserved… all I can say is thank you Lord for the lesson.
Flex Alexander is so likeable and charismatic. He deserves success after sucess.
*WOW DIDN'T. KNOW HOPE HE RECOVERS HOPE EVERYONE WHO'S GOIN THRU TOUGH TIMES PULL THRU*
Amen 🙏🏾
Friendship exemplified.. we could only hope to have a friend act with such grace..
He makes a few good points!!
I like how he did not go in depth regarding Flex's business. He probably knows but kept it positive. That was very respectful.
PEOPLE NEED TO STOP LIVING ABOVE THERE MEANS EVEN when you are making what seems to be GOOD money it’s wise to STASH MORE than one is spending especially buying ALL those keeping up with the jones THINGS
Straight Facts!!!
I met Flex at The Cage in NYC in 1993.
That Brother has Always Been a Real Person and Individual.
Always Humble & Always Accessible.
You could always bump into Bro in NYC.
Nothing but Love.
When did Flex become homeless? I thought he and Shanice were doing good ?
This was some years ago
I see his point. It's a graph. I first remember Flex as a dancer with Salt n Peppa during their "Express Yourself" run. As long as you going up you gone take some dips but look how far you came. And he ain't homeless now so he still winning.
Tacky as hell too to ask another man about someone else's finances. He reached but Kelly ain't take the bait.
He was trying his best to tap around that question 🤣😂
I like how he is putting it in words tho he’s not bashing his friend, he’s just trying to get people to relate to their can be hard times and good times for anyone but learn to get through it, I understand.
After having the channel and doing interviews for a decent amount of time at this point, why is the sound quality so poor? Get it together!
ABSOLUTELY I couldn’t hear the interviewer ! 😒
@@brucebeamon5460 yeah, they could’ve kept this one in the archives.
Sometimes (I believe) The Creator strips some of us of everything, introduces turbulent times on our lives so that we not only discover the stregnth of who we are, but also who the people around us show themselves to be.
I love his answer.
Kelly Perrine is the man. Whenever I see his name for a movie or a TV show I make sure I watch even a little bit to see him do his thing. Tyler Perry needs to get in touch with this man right here. He could be Mr Brown's long lost brother, e-v-i-l twin brother or something 🤣🤣🤣 ... A series by his own self. SKILLS!!!
I was in Encino paying $4,800 in rent back in 2006. I went through my money and confidence in record time. It was a dark chapter. I got the hell out of CA for my sanity.
Why the heck were you paying that much for rent in Encino? Are you really saying there wasn’t cheaper housing?
@@clairedaniels1877 I was trying to keep up my east coast standards. My house in NJ was 2k. A similar place in Encino was nearly 5k. I had 2 kids with me.
Speaking of Flex 😂 I could watch a whole interview dedicated to his biopic of Michael Jackson 🤔 that was one of the most memorable biopics ever 😂 for all the wrong reasons!
Again? Or in 2007? They lived in a complex of someone I use to know. This is old news.....
Maybe the story was told wrong but I thought Flex and Shaniece had to sale the house and then they started renting from the owner whom brought it? I never heard they were homeless.
I saw it on the OWN channel, I respect any celebrity that shares those real experiences in their life, it’s humbling. A few have shared theirs on television
This interview was pure golden ❣️
Yeah it's crazy I never new flex was homeless damn smh
One of my TV heros!!! I will be coming for you once I get my movies rolling OG. That's my word. You're a giant, King.
Very well said💯
🥺 FLEX became *"Homeless"* ...WoW, I really like that guy
jordan peele definitely reminds me of Bro and he always been funny to me 🔥 🔥
I loooved this man on one on one by far the funniest character to me ❤️
Damn somebody needed to see this
I always wondered about him this man is so funny. I never understood why he never got his own TV show a wise career never took off because he was always someone sidekick on the show but he was funnier than the star of the show
It’s mind boggling how there will always be people who blow their all their cash when there are endless examples/documentaries off ppl before them doing it.
I admire the fact that this man has his masters degree
Kelly Perine comedic timing was genius in One on One.
He’s a born comedian. Love his outlook and energy.👏🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ppl forget about taxes u have to pay constantly. Property tax on multimillion dollar Property eats up ur savings. Ur Property should not exceed ur yearly salary. Cause if u work in industry like entertainment. Ur salary is never the same. Especially if u don't have a business or investment structure making money. Even when ur not working. Ur destined to go in debt.
DON’T live in a mega MANSION if your career status could be compromised by yearly contracts ! In careers like that it would be wise to save and by a reasonable house CASH ~ and be something you can afford the taxes even when your status is not on the UP SWING
Facts. Plus if you have enough money and get a modest home you can do a cash buy instead of mortgage. Then you just pay taxes.
This man is still sound thesame as he was on the show 😭 Great actor
Is this recent homelessness? Cause it's not fully clear from this video... Oh wait, now I see the description. In the times we're living in I'm not surprised if the vast majority of people end up homeless for a moment at some point, even if they have family cause these days not even family has your back. Seems like Flex didn't manage his money right, taught it was always gonna be coming in, you gotta invest when you get that big Hollywood money.
Investing is how he went broke!!! Like my people told us, niqqa u better sit on ur bread!! Buy what u need and sometimes whatu want, but save something 4a rainy day.....rip kool poppa 🪦
I remember this dude singing sorry 2004 on them upn days 🤣😂😂. I’m glad hes doing ok.
Much Respect My Brotha 💪🏾👊🏽
The audio is terrible, I couldn't hear the questions he asked him.
Yoooooo he was super funny on that show. Very underrated
Well God bless both of you I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy having a roof over your head is first priority 🙏 I've been through that no joke, good u can help 💯💯
That’s Funny How He Dancing Around That Answer wen Talking About The Industry..🤔💯
Kelly is insightful.
Flex had a whole show with his wife and kids talking about this. How did anyone miss it. It was so long ago😒
I knew about the financial issues back then to a degree but I didn't even really see any part of that show though until last year so a lot of other ppl just may not have been watching TV during that era either
Thing is a lot of times when you get that first big check, especially when you are young, you think that you'll get another to replace that one so you spend it. Then you get your next pay check, boom, same mentality. And the cycle continues. I look back at my first job with Comcast. My first two week check wasn't but $500/600 but back then when the cost of living was much lower, I had real money on me for once and didn't have to beg anyone to loan me this or loan me that. PS2 cost $600? I bought it. Games $50 each? Let me get all of the launch titles, wasn't nothing. You buy things way beyond your means but hey, you'll get that next check and you'll be alright... UNTIL YOU DON'T. And then you have to pay that car note, and that mortgage, and that utility bill, and that insurance, you know what I mean. That steady income you thought you had easily covered it all but once it's gone, if you didn't save/invest, that debit is gone come at you fast when you don't have income to replenish your account.
Awesome Perspective starting here 1:40
Bro he IS !!! funny asf fr... On one on One he was funny as shit 🤣🤣🤣
I wanted to slap tf outta sway when flex went on there cause sway gave him a 20 dollar bill cause he heard he use to be homeless. If you see how cringe it was you’ll understand
Please be joking!
@@nicolew6904 go look
I was getting confused, thinking , I didn't know his name was Flex too.
Enjoyed this guy soooooo much on One On One!! He is Hilarious!!!! That was a very good show! I still watch it!!!! Enjoyed, he, Flex and all of the actors on this show! He displayed respect for his friend and colleague when he answered the question about Flex that should have been posed to Flex himself and not his friend.
Btw- Looooove Mr. Perine. He is one of the best comedic actors in the world.
Bro really really is a underrated actor
I like how he explained that.
No, he didnt miss his barber appointment he normally looks like this. Lol
I wanna give that man a line up so bad lol
@@P8860
😆
He’s a great friend
If u every watched shanices doc she talks about how they were homeless and how their friends came together and helped them get back on their feet....so many blk celebrities who are considered C and D list they have been broke got back on top and learned from that low point....shanice and flex are on top again...and I'm happy they got out of that
Dang I wonder what did happened with him and half the cast of one on one
His daughter is Damon Wayans real life daughter so I know she cool
@@keldorthebluemack I didn’t knw that
@@keldorthebluemack His daughter is Damon Wayans daughter? I don't get what your saying.
@@Class_357 Ai I think they mean the one who played on the show as Flex’s daughter is Damon’s daughter in real life. 🤔 I was a little confused at first too. Had to read it twice.
@@Class_357 Her real father is Damon Wayans
Flax is doing okay he was just in San Diego hosting a gala .
Cool...
Been there I use to have to eat butter and bread and only shower at work. Was living in my van for about 6 months. Worked at a factory so was able to eat at the cafeteria. Also worked 6 days a week .
Flex is homeless? He's living his best life on Instagram.
“BOOM”😭😭
Kelly is underrated.
He very funny & kinda reminds me of David Allen Grier
Flex Alexander been fine since def comedy jam
Love him, so extremely talented! God bless you, sir! 💛

I don't know why it bothered me when someone is eating or drinking during a interview. Lol lol
2 reasons 1) because the smacking and gulping sounds they make or the mic picks up 2) because it's a sign of a poor communicator. When you're talking with someone you make eye to eye contact and speak with your words uninterrupted. If they break eye contact or cover their face it shows they have something to hide or are intimidated. If they look around or stare at a watch it shows your time is unimportant to them. Look at any animal on Earth and you should notice that eating is a rather impersonal moment. Other creatures don't usually disturb each other while eating. It's rude of you in a primal and social sense to interrupt someone while they are dining. Hence feels "inappropriate" for someone to talk to you while they are eating or chewing. It also goes back to the previous point about giving undivided attention between two people.
@@desecration171 the point you made about the mics. Yes I always watch RUclips on my headphones, so eating and drinking during an interview bothers me because of the microphone picking up those high pitch sounds. So great input on the matter.
