As a Gay man I can say that this is NOT homophobia. If a straight man is uncomfortable with being hit on by another man and he protests, this is not wrong.
@@shalanathomas7751 Sadly in EVERY community there are those members who do wrong and give the rest a bad name. Most Gay men DON'T hit on straight men, unless some signals got crossed. And then, usually, the Gay man will apologize and back off. The ones who don't aren't Gay, they are sexual predators. And these exist in all communities. I hope Christian doesn't judge the whole Gay community by the actions of these few predators.
I agree, why can't he stand up for being a straight man? Even if the guy didn't mention his son. Telling him ain't no happening doesn't make him a homophobe.
agreed... they need to stop tht clown ish!.. they keep tryna to spin narratives & misuse hate simpathy to get & force ppl into liking/agreeing with what they dont agree with, & its ok to not be some1s cup of tea... you won't be embraced by every1 as long as they aren't disrespectful to you degrading or touching you..its ok & life goes on (I'm blk I know😌) ..& even God had ppl tht didnt agree & was even unliked by some ppl!
@@blazesmith6409 that has nothing to do with some gay ppl thinking they can do & say what they want to straight ppl but play the victim when someone checks their asses!!
Trix Sands Your are correct. What he said was after years of getting dick pics and over sexual messages sent to him from men he said chill and respect him. He respects their lifestyle so respect his. When the message came about his child is when he had enough and posted a video saying the line was completely crossed. He was very respectful in his delivery in that video as well. For some reason there’s all this talk about respect but respect is not given across the board. The topic was about his child. He said he is a Father first. Don’t read more into it then what it was. He clearly said didn’t say the whole LBGT Community. They have children too!!! They would feel they same way he did if anyone came at them about their child. Heck half of my family is gay. My uncles said they didn’t see no problem with what he said. They were not offended at all. If anything he should have reported the idiot that sent the message. He’s probably a pedophile.
The problem WAS, he didn't mentioned his child when he did the vlog or post. How would people know that if he didn't mentioned it???? No one's thinking logical, people are just saying, I'm on the Straight side because I'm straight, I'm on the Gay side because I'm Gay. But that's people for yah
Your preaching. The fact that he's not conceited and uppity like his sh*t dont stink or he's to good, he dont strike me as a guy with a light skin attitude.
TheAmazingDr.Stitch there’s garbage in every community, it’s par for the course! Gay men trying to pick up straight men either love rejection really don’t know the difference between straight vs not straight! Either way, they don’t represent all gay men and most intelligent people understand this!
Exactly because I like for a man to like me a little more than I like him. I use to deal with a guy that is attractive like Christian, but he didn't like how strong and secure I was. He wanted me to be extra and sprung like other Women. The sex was good but I'll never be weak and desperate for a man. When you attractive men will come after you and sometimes even women. I had to step back from a famous Sexy actress years ago because she scared men that would break up with her.
@J Dolo You sound like one of those controlling men that think they know everything. Sounds like a brotha just good for sex. No commitment or faithful bond to be expected from a guy like you. Twirl along Sir.
Christian is a true example of resilience, humility, and wisdom! I wish him nothing but the best because that's what he deserves. I pray his star never stops rising!
Well said!. Christian appears to be humble and wise. He respects his responsibility as a Father, African American man and as a Actor and human being!. He appears to be intuned with his potential. Hopefully he will do more work for Tyler Perry 🙏 and with other Movie Director. GIRLFRIENDS with Tracy Ross has a reboot He would be great as Tracys love interest.
Kevin Rodgers down Fido. Its fucking disrespectful to take roles away from people but then say you don’t want to associate with them. Should black British ppl play African Americans and then say they don’t want to associate with them? No it’s fucking hypocritical
BFswithGFs HE NEVER SAID HE DID NOT WANT TO ASSOCIATE HE SAID HE DID NOT WANT GAY MEN SAYING THEY WANT TO HAVE A FUCKING THREESOME WITH HIM AND HIS FUCKING CHILD ITS SICK AS A GAY MAN IM APPALLED AT THAT SHIT
As a gay man myself I agree with all of this, majority of the LGBT are highly extra especially how these days they pursue straight men, and now finding out they reach for kids that's highly disrespectful. Boundaries and class needs to come back.
What a great interview. He went through so much as a child yet he turned out to be a great dad. He had all rights to address what was being sent in his DM and to protect himeself and his son. He's a smooth down to earth guy.
I feel what Christian Keyes is saying. I'm a straight man and I'm married with 3 children. And I have gay friends and gays in my family. And I make it plain as a 100 dollar bill. You want us to accept yaw for who you are. You always protesting to accept that you're gay. Well guess what? Accept me as a straight man because I'm not into men and that is not my preference at all. So please show me some respect like you want people to respect your sexually. Thank you
@@jamaalshelton6793 No one is a victim it's about respect. I have no problem keeping it 💯 with anybody or anyone. Gays want to be respected and that's fine. But you got some like Christian was saying hitting on him and saying inappropriate things to him and his son. That's disrespectful and more so my experience when one is flirting and saying nasty things that don't interest me. Or like one did my friend who's straight. Make up lies and say he go both ways and they slept together. And then found out that he lied to break him and his girlfriend up. That's wrong and very disrespectful PERIOD!
This interview is the realest I have ever seen. He is an amazing person. Claudia conducted the interview in a true genuine professional manner. My heart was over whelmed when he shared his life. Hats off to him for speaking his truth and sharing it with the world. ❤
Queen of the South Tiffany was raised by her mother and then moved to Foster Care. He was given up at birth. Yes, both successful coming from the Foster System. I think Tiffany suffered a lot knowing what her mother was going through and the things she endured. They should share their stories more. He seem very level headed.
Totally agree, it would be great if more foster kids should tell their stories. Tell the good & the bad. As a person that previously worked in the foster care system, it is disheartening to only hear the negative stories. I like that Christen could tell you the negative and tell you how it was able to move his life forward. I have had several seats at the foster care table...Ive been a Family Service Counselor, a foster parent, and I have a sibling that was adopted out of foster care.
I've always admired this man from afar, yet never knew his story. I have to say, with his transparency, I have the utmost respect for him. Godspeed, Christian Keyes...
No one is bullying straight people. Black men have a history of acting out violently towards gay men. Why I don’t know. It’s also the language they use it doesn’t help. Gay people have the right to the same privileges and representation as straight people. We want to live our lives freely without harm from the people who look like us.
The child part had me so sad but the part about forgiveness had me in tears. You are am amazing, rare and beautiful spirit. The world needs your light.
Wow!!! I have always been a fan of Christian Keyes, but my respect and admiration for him just went to a new level after watching this!! Thanks Claudia. 💕💕💕
A beautiful man who seems to have a beautiful soul as well. I don't know him personally only through his work. It's nice to hear and see all men are not the same. Stay blessed and keep your son as humble and beautiful as you are.
Wow a humble brotha! This is what forgiveness looks like everyone has a back story and to the gay people that came at home like that 2 words STOP IT.... everyone attractive or unattractive heterosexual male doesn’t secretly want a gay dude
He is a classy, strong, and very FINE KING. I love his spirit. Very positive and influential young man. My sons have his demeanor and I love it. Kudos to this man.
Wow, I never knew his childhood was like that. He is proof through and through of God’s power. He carries God’s essence and you can tell. I’m such a fan.🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍
Wow salute to Christian. It's beautiful when people are just as beautiful from the outside inside as well. What a life he lived and was blessed to rise above that. God bless you Christian in Jesus name ❤
Crazy and sad that certain people were more upset that he respectfully called out that individual for his inappropriate comment and said nothing about the individual for stating that he wanted to do something illegal with a minor.
I met him in person out here in Dallas and he's such an amazing spirit and person, and allowed myself and girls included to have pics with him. I wish him nothing but the BEST! Also, just as much as the alphabet community stand for themselves, straight men and women shouldn't feel bad for being themselves without being labeled some derogatory term (homophobe, or transphobe, etc).
Right On Christian!!! Anybody can be disrespectful...but yes a lot of gay people go way too far with pushing their sexual orientation on folks...everybody don't won't it! Be respectful...I applaud what he is saying to the highest mountain top!!
Seems like selective rage,. Why are you mad about some random internet person you don't know? He seemed to excuse the women as being thirsty but the gay guys are the worst thing in creation for using the same platform to send the same sex messages. He is on a platform that allows anyone to send him any kind of messages, that's what he got. I missed the part when the internet became a respectful and civil place. Why be so pressed about something electronically
@@Brandon-qr2or Everyone has something in their lives that makes them "uncomfortable." In Christian Keyes' case, sex messages from men make him uncomfortable, but the sex messages from women do not. Whatever it is that makes YOU Brandon uncomfortable, I'm sure you would rather NOT have that thrown in your face all the time.
Fee Mac I could say something about your son but it’s just randomness from a keyboard. If you accepting of getting sexual charged messages on the internet expect two things: no filter and no respect
I never knew he went through all of that. Ive been a fan of his movies and his personality for years but now the respect I had for him has grown tremendously.
Chrisitan, despite your horrific and traumatizing childhood, you prospered into an exceptional man! Thanks for all you do, SIr. I thank Jesus for you. "Those who suffered with Christ shall reign with him," Bible. Keep Moving Forward, Sir. 😇
@Richard Lawrence Absolutely! It is a disgrace to our people for any man to be other than he is. GOD made them what he wanted them to be there was no confusion in his plan. It is a choice. Esau agenda is working.
@Richard Lawrence Facts!.. God ain't sent no creation of his to this earth gay... they can keep those lies... I always said "choice" & evn asked a very close gay guy friend/in-law.. was it choice or from birth & I told him my reasoning... *of how kids see things and learn attraction from things they're allowed see or tramatic things tht happened to them...& from ages like 2/3 to 6 they learn what they like(statistics)..& also ppl see wrong behavior in kids & never correct them!* ...*then I said: & most older ppl do so much freaky ish, thts that's the one thing tht their already curious demonic azz's ain't tried yet! & so I said: Be honest choice? or birth?... He😔said: IT's A CHOICE!!* BOOM!💣💥..👉ME: 🙃🙆I fkn knew it!!! no baby knows anything about Sh!t gay!
I am so sorry he had to withstand that abuse. I know what it's like because I also was abused and yes it does stay with you as an adult. You have to make a conscience decision to remove that from your spirit through forgiveness and that is SO HARD! Glad to see him successful in life he deserves it. Rock on Christian!! May God continue to bless you and your son.
Thank you for sharing your journey and struggles. I am glad that you made peace and have forgiven those who abused you. You are an inspiration Christian Keyes
I started following him on Instagram during this quarantine stuff and he is so down to earth. He goes live with his fans and I love how he uplifts us black women. He is protesting with everyone and everything. He doesn't act stuck up with anyone at all. He is so gorgeous. I hope to see him in more movies. Also saw he mentioned on Instagram that he has novels out.
@@jadesmith7983 like he takes to much pride in his celebacy and his singleness... Again idk him maybe he has one night stands... But the way he's coming off makes me think otherwise... What I mean by "too much"... Is his wait for the "right one".... Cause in all honesty love can be found anywhere... Isn't he like 46? Like enough with the fairytale... And I just think with him being kindve a celebrity you would think he would atleast be dating and testing the waters.... It just gives a bad taste in my mouth... And I think there is a difference between self valueing and being a bit egotistical and narccistic... I mean he is well spoken but that could also be adding to his narcissism.... I think he's just tedering the lines a bit on those things... Trust I'm no hater I don't even know who he is.. I just know he played a gay character and now is offended gay guys are reaching out to him??! this is just my first impression is all
I don’t see how anyone can think Christian is homophobic.....he has played several gay men in shows . It’s just about respect . Some of y’all are extra and very disrespectful.
The King I agree and this is coming from a gay black male. Some of us can very extra when it comes to something as attractive (inside and out) as Christian.
To hear his backstory, how humble he is, how great a father he is, and more importantly how great of a man/person he is. #MuchRespect ❤ I wish him continued success. ❤ Sidenote....whomever came at him disrespectful especially about his son was VERY out of line.
Wow, y'all just hit something deep go Claudia I mean this really hit home when y'all talked about how deadbeat dads do not keep their promises and leave the children waiting it is damaging that was real..
Itachi Hyuga - The reason I said that gay people try to turn people against God is that if a person believes the scriptures concerning the biblical condemnation of homosexuality, and expresses it, even in a non disrespectful way, the individual will be condemned in America. He/she will be destroyed if they are in entertainment or business or politics or even in public employee jobs. If an individual applauds homosexuality in America, they are considered heroic and treated like heroes. Even ministers are forced to condemn the scriptures and applaud homosexuality. Every “group” charges anti something if you disagree with them. Anti black, anti woman, anti gay, fat shaming and other labels destroy honestly and dialog so people can co exist and respect each other’s beliefs.

How are they saying he is homophobic and as of late he has been playing homosexual roles? He was right to stop that crass dude in his tracks! Protect your children at all costs!
I think people are to focused on his looks anyway.... what matters is what's in his heart... that seems to be the vocal point...l am digging him being vulnerable and his authentic self more in then his looks
Damn, this man went through it. Looking at him you would not know how badly he was treated. So sad for that little boy. I am happy that he was able to make peace and forgive his abuser which speaks volumes about his character. I have no doubt all of that is what makes him such an empathetic and compassionate dad. His son is fortunate to have him as a father. Kudos to you Mr. Keyes. Wishing you peace and many more blessings
Wow...Amazing Testimony...Truly speechless...You never know what someone has gone through by looking at where they are today...He is incredibly strong..God bless him

I hate to hear - when child haters get children that need real love.
He literally sounds like the best Dad. Wow, such a beautiful, genuine man! So sad to hear the physical abuse he went through.😔
I love me some Christian Keys!😊❤
Wow a humble brotha! This is what forgiveness looks like everyone has a back story and to the gay people that came at home like that 2 words STOP IT.... everyone attractive or unattractive heterosexual male doesn’t secretly want a gay dude
ministerjase stop thinking that every gay person wants a straight man. People are just thirsty regardless of sexual orientation.
My comment was specifically to those that came at the man like that...my statement did not refer to every single gay person
ministerjase reread your comment... sorry for my confusion. 🤗
A lot of them think so.
@@flipvirgo the point is if you're gay you shouldn't be approaching people unless you KNOW they are gay. Period. Everybody ain't with the shit.
He is a classy, strong, and very FINE KING. I love his spirit. Very positive and influential young man. My sons have his demeanor and I love it. Kudos to this man.
Wow, I never knew his childhood was like that. He is proof through and through of God’s power. He carries God’s essence and you can tell. I’m
such a fan.🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍
No apologies necessary Christian Keyes. You had every right to speak up for yourself and your son.
Wow salute to Christian. It's beautiful when people are just as beautiful from the outside inside as well. What a life he lived and was blessed to rise above that. God bless you Christian in Jesus name ❤
Crazy and sad that certain people were more upset that he respectfully called out that individual for his inappropriate comment and said nothing about the individual for stating that he wanted to do something illegal with a minor.
I met him in person out here in Dallas and he's such an amazing spirit and person, and allowed myself and girls included to have pics with him. I wish him nothing but the BEST! Also, just as much as the alphabet community stand for themselves, straight men and women shouldn't feel bad for being themselves without being labeled some derogatory term (homophobe, or transphobe, etc).
Those aren't even derogatory terms. They're made up babbling verbalizations.
Listening to how he grew up and how tragic it was for him to turn out to be so good of a person and a great father is amazing🙏
Right On Christian!!! Anybody can be disrespectful...but yes a lot of gay people go way too far with pushing their sexual orientation on folks...everybody don't won't it! Be respectful...I applaud what he is saying to the highest mountain top!!
So the girls sending pussy pics aren't
Seems like selective rage,. Why are you mad about some random internet person you don't know?
He seemed to excuse the women as being thirsty but the gay guys are the worst thing in creation for using the same platform to send the same sex messages.
He is on a platform that allows anyone to send him any kind of messages, that's what he got. I missed the part when the internet became a respectful and civil place. Why be so pressed about something electronically
@@Brandon-qr2or Everyone has something in their lives that makes them "uncomfortable." In Christian Keyes' case, sex messages from men make him uncomfortable, but the sex messages from women do not. Whatever it is that makes YOU Brandon uncomfortable, I'm sure you would rather NOT have that thrown in your face all the time.
@@Brandon-qr2or did u not listen???? THEY INCLUDED HIS SON!!!! It would matter to him if a woman said it about him and his son!! Listen!
Fee Mac I could say something about your son but it’s just randomness from a keyboard. If you accepting of getting sexual charged messages on the internet expect two things: no filter and no respect
I never knew he went through all of that. Ive been a fan of his movies and his personality for years but now the respect I had for him has grown tremendously.
Gay people don't want any boundaries. It's about respect regardless of what your choice is.
Renea Mitchell DONT generalize
"Choice" sure okay...
@Evette Robinson Tell it gurl. They want to force everyone to believe in their ways and it is wrong.
Hey! Not all of us are the freaks you see in pride parades. Your thinking of the ones that demand attention....like the freaks in the pride parades.
Renea Mitchell not a choice and he’s doesn’t represent all gay men
A damn CLASS ACT. Bravo Mr. Keyes.
To radiate such positivity after having such a viscous upbringing, this man is special. I wish him all the success in the world. He deserves it 🙏🏾.
Im apart of the LGBT community and Whoever that person was that hit him up like that was waaaaaayyyyy out of line and just nasty. Should be slapped
Glen Kelly right straight sick!!!!!!!
Amen
You mean that person should be in jail.
@@mbrilliB Yeah that too
Chrisitan, despite your horrific and traumatizing childhood, you prospered into an exceptional man! Thanks for all you do, SIr. I thank Jesus for you. "Those who suffered with Christ shall reign with him," Bible. Keep Moving Forward, Sir. 😇
What trifling excuse for a man would suggest that? We live in a sick society. I'm not being forced to believe what I don't believe in.
@Richard Lawrence Absolutely! It is a disgrace to our people for any man to be other than he is. GOD made them what he wanted them to be there was no confusion in his plan. It is a choice. Esau agenda is working.
@@shawntelmonroe3338 truth in everything you and Richard Laurence said
@Richard Lawrence Facts!.. God ain't sent no creation of his to this earth gay... they can keep those lies... I always said "choice" & evn asked a very close gay guy friend/in-law.. was it choice or from birth & I told him my reasoning... *of how kids see things and learn attraction from things they're allowed see or tramatic things tht happened to them...& from ages like 2/3 to 6 they learn what they like(statistics)..& also ppl see wrong behavior in kids & never correct them!*
...*then I said: & most older ppl do so much freaky ish, thts that's the one thing tht their already curious demonic azz's ain't tried yet! & so I said: Be honest choice? or birth?... He😔said: IT's A CHOICE!!* BOOM!💣💥..👉ME: 🙃🙆I fkn knew it!!! no baby knows anything about Sh!t gay!
@@shawntelmonroe3338 facts! totally agreed!
@@oshiablackirish7749 lol right!.. I havnt seen any discrepancy in either comment!
I am so sorry he had to withstand that abuse. I know what it's like because I also was abused and yes it does stay with you as an adult. You have to make a conscience decision to remove that from your spirit through forgiveness and that is SO HARD! Glad to see him successful in life he deserves it. Rock on Christian!! May God continue to bless you and your son.
This is great man.
Man of Intergrity ❤
I pray he continues to go up and up and flourish always
Thank you for sharing your journey and struggles. I am glad that you made peace and have forgiven those who abused you. You are an inspiration Christian Keyes
Christian is a big deal. The kind of man he is the type of father he is...too me he's kind of a big deal..
I agrees witcha!
None None how so
@None None what makes him a joke
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona personal opinion
@@mariahwhitneycelinejanetmadona that's your opinion not mines. It doesn't matter what you see in him. It matter how i see him.
Beautiful spirit and humble articulate talented and i agree dont disrespect him or his son. Continued blessings good health happiness and love
I started following him on Instagram during this quarantine stuff and he is so down to earth. He goes live with his fans and I love how he uplifts us black women. He is protesting with everyone and everything. He doesn't act stuck up with anyone at all. He is so gorgeous. I hope to see him in more movies. Also saw he mentioned on Instagram that he has novels out.
Novels? I'm checking on that. Thanks.
@@ruthsherman2507His tv show All The Queen's Men is based off his book Ladies Night.
I can understand why he is single. It would take a special woman to be his other half. I truly wish him all the best!!!❤
What kind of woman? He never make it known , lol what is his type🤷🏽♀️
He does a little bit much with that too..... Like not even a woman does that much....
So true!!
yomama22 lala What do you mean by "he does too much"?
@@jadesmith7983 like he takes to much pride in his celebacy and his singleness... Again idk him maybe he has one night stands... But the way he's coming off makes me think otherwise... What I mean by "too much"... Is his wait for the "right one".... Cause in all honesty love can be found anywhere... Isn't he like 46? Like enough with the fairytale... And I just think with him being kindve a celebrity you would think he would atleast be dating and testing the waters.... It just gives a bad taste in my mouth... And I think there is a difference between self valueing and being a bit egotistical and narccistic... I mean he is well spoken but that could also be adding to his narcissism.... I think he's just tedering the lines a bit on those things... Trust I'm no hater I don't even know who he is.. I just know he played a gay character and now is offended gay guys are reaching out to him??! this is just my first impression is all
I love Christian ❤️ he is so classy, respectful, and a great Father!!!!!!
HE'S SINGLE?! Whet!? I've been crushing on this dude since the Madea days when he was in the plays_
wow.
Sunnny
I met him during the play days @21, and back then he was such a humble person & truly the nicest guy.
Can I lay on your cross!!
Im sure he’s single because of his standards. Christian doesn’t strike me as the type that’s gullible for a pretty face cause he has one lol.
@@lisahil4885 Or maybe he has a secret boyfriend.🤔🤔🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
God had and still has his hands on this man!!
I don’t see how anyone can think Christian is homophobic.....he has played several gay men in shows . It’s just about respect . Some of y’all are extra and very disrespectful.
The King I agree and this is coming from a gay black male. Some of us can very extra when it comes to something as attractive (inside and out) as Christian.
It mad me so pissed because they make it so hard for others to be gay and this is why they always under attack because of their bs they do.
When?
What show has he played a gay man in 😚
No he hasn’t 🤦🏽♀️
Great Interview Claudia!!! Christian Keyes Is My Ideal Kind Of Guy!!! 🥰🥰🥰
To hear his backstory, how humble he is, how great a father he is, and more importantly how great of a man/person he is. #MuchRespect ❤ I wish him continued success. ❤
Sidenote....whomever came at him disrespectful especially about his son was VERY out of line.
Wow, y'all just hit something deep go Claudia I mean this really hit home when y'all talked about how deadbeat dads do not keep their promises and leave the children waiting it is damaging that was real..
Thank you
But why in the presence of good fathers do you take it as an opportunity to bash bad fathers? We don't do that to good mothers.
This man is so respectful and an amazing father; this society is so disgustingly vulgar and disrespectful; Wow he is a stand up decent man.👏🙌👍
The lgbtq will never respect you unless you bow down to them. They want you to reject God and glorify them. Can’t be scared to rebuke them, bro.
Boy shut up. That's not the point
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Itachi Hyuga - The reason I said that gay people try to turn people against God is that if a person believes the scriptures concerning the biblical condemnation of homosexuality, and expresses it, even in a non disrespectful way, the individual will be condemned in America. He/she will be destroyed if they are in entertainment or business or politics or even in public employee jobs. If an individual applauds homosexuality in America, they are considered heroic and treated like heroes. Even ministers are forced to condemn the scriptures and applaud homosexuality. Every “group” charges anti something if you disagree with them. Anti black, anti woman, anti gay, fat shaming and other labels destroy honestly and dialog so people can co exist and respect each other’s beliefs.
@@anthonyclay9694 right
Patrick Taylor they is a abomination 😐
I really like what I see from this gentleman. I’ve followed him for some time and I appreciate his positivity.
This was a great interview! Respect to Claudia Jordan and Christian Keyes!
He is a great actor just stay humble 😘
GREAT INTERVIEW CLAUDIA, THANK YOU FOR THAT, ALWAYS LIKE THAT HIM. NOW THAT'S A GENTLEMEN
Great actor Nah. He hasn't crossed over just yet. BET yes and k with that. ✌💓💡
Claudia is shooting her shot😂😂
As she should...

I would love to see the future Mrs. Keyes!❤ he's very intelligent handsome humble an a great FATHER he's just awesome!
I love Christian Keyes! The humility is even more gorgeous! Keep going my Michigan brotha! I’ve always been a fan!
I have never voice THAT feeling of waiting for my dad to come. Christian was so ON POINT describing that feeling.
Love him. I had no idea he was adopted and abused. God has truly kept this man. And for those targeting him and bringing his son into it SHAME ON THEM!😵🤯😲😖😠
How are they saying he is homophobic and as of late he has been playing homosexual roles? He was right to stop that crass dude in his tracks! Protect your children at all costs!
When he played gay?
He was in DC legends of Tomorrow, he played the love interest to Constantine
I LOVE the way he speaks about his SON!!! THE SENSATION💚💜💙
Great interview ms. Claudia, but i am literally in tears listening to mr. Keys like wow who knew?
Man much respect to this dude. Also the talks about his dad not showing up and stuff I FELT THAT!!!
I'm a NEW fan of Christian Keyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never was a huge fan, or found him wildly attractive, but this was a good interview and changed my perspective of him.
DimpledNatural same
I think people are to focused on his looks anyway.... what matters is what's in his heart... that seems to be the vocal point...l am digging him being vulnerable and his authentic self more in then his looks
What an amazing father/human being!
JESUS!!
To experience what he did and still turn out to be such an amazing person!😢🙏🏽
God Bless you!!
I love this guy! It was his love for God and his son, that made me a fan
Damn, this man went through it. Looking at him you would not know how badly he was treated. So sad for that little boy. I am happy that he was able to make peace and forgive his abuser which speaks volumes about his character. I have no doubt all of that is what makes him such an empathetic and compassionate dad. His son is fortunate to have him as a father. Kudos to you Mr. Keyes. Wishing you peace and many more blessings
It's many out there that have a story to tell & its a child/children out there now who are going thru the same trauma!😢💔
You're a remarkable Man Mr. CHRISTIAN KEYES #resilient #oneluv
He's just so cute in a very innocent way., And claims his Blackness, love him!!!
Wow...Amazing Testimony...Truly speechless...You never know what someone has gone through by looking at where they are today...He is incredibly strong..God bless him
Mr. Keyes, you are a great actor, and great father. Your story is beautiful, thank you. All the best to you, your career, and your family. Tina in Cali
He is really a nice and respectable guy. I met him a few years ago at a conference, where he shared his life story.
I don't do a lot of posting or responding on RUclips, but I respect this cat to the fullest!!!! Keep keeping it 100!!!!!
He has a big heart too.... horrible child abuse stories. My heart goes out to him ❤🙏🏽🙏🏽❤🙏🏽🙏🏽❤
What Child Abuse
Hey, that's a man. My hat is off to him
Good interview.He seems down to earth which adds to his sexy.Yo, whomever said that bull is straight up demonic.
You never know what someone has gone thru in their life to be where that at now. Stay blessed Mr. Keyes
He's so handsome and intelligent. Him being a great father is absolutely beautiful. His testimony on his life as a foster child is heartbreaking
