I am giving a big shout out this week to all guys over the age of 40 who
have managed to retain their youthfulness and kept their bodies well in
shape. Many of these guys maintain their hot looks through regular
exercise that was an alien idea to our fathers but for me, hotness goes
beyond looks. Its also about attitude and how you relate to others. I
know a lot of men in my world who all rightly come under this
description but here is just a sample of them:
1. ADEBAYO JONES
AJ
as he is fondly known by many, is undoubtedly the Nigerian King Of
Couture. AJ who clocked the BIG 5-0 last year, loves fashion and he
loves to do fashion. Always dapperly donned, the Multi Awards Winning
Designer always ever looks as good as the stunning frocks he designs. I
love AJ cos he is surprisingly one of the most courteous, polite,
charming down to earth celebs I have come across so far and for someone
with his level of accomplishments and achievements, that is just so HOT!
However, the only love that dwarfs his love for fashion is his love for
Christ. AJ is a staunch and highly devoted Christian who has been known
to perform impromptu Praise and Worship sessions at events. Top on my
list of hotties.
2. DEOBA AUTHENTIC
This
is the one I call “Cutie Mi” because Deoba Authentic is one of the
cutest guys in the Naija London Entertainment Industry. A true
confirmation that Great things come in small packages, Deoba is a Multi
Award Winning Celebrity DJ, radio Presenter and Afro Soul Artist. Deoba
loves his clothes and takes great pride in his looks which he grooms to
perfection at all times.
3. KB DAVIES
Kehinde
Bamgbose Davies is easily the tallest guy I have ever seen. Standing
well over 7ft he dwarfs many men in his age bracket. But far from being
tall in an awkwardish manner, KB Davies carries his height just like a
male model. This Mentor, Life coach and Motivational speaker has talent,
height and boyishly good looks to go with them.
4. WALE OJO
Wale
Ojo is a seasoned Film, TV and Stage actor. Most popularly known for
the role of “Mr Adebanjo” from the British TV series “Meet The
Adebanjo’s” and for stellar appearance in Nollywood movie “Phone Swap”.
Wale, is a cool, charming forty something year old who still exudes his
own quiet sexiness.
5. CHARLES “CHUCKY” VENN
Charles
came to prominence following his casting as Ray Dixon in the BBC’s soap
dramaEastenders. Many Nigerian women became firm fans of the show and
of Charles as the BBC bosses never missed the opportunity of getting
“Ray” to remove his shirt and tantalise us with those awesome pecs and
taut abs. Charles also recently appeared in The Musketeers and Nollywood
Movie 1897. He is a charming down to earth man who in spite of his
major celebrity status always has the time to chat and relate with his
fans.
6. JIDE AFUN OGIDAN
Jydoski
is one of those guys whose appeal hits you in the face like a wet
towel. He exudes hottness on a top level – and the painful thing is that
he knows it. Everything about him is carefully planned and calculated
to enhance his natural beauty – from his accessories to his eye wears to
his clothes And whether dressed up – or dressed down, Jide Afun Ogidan –
simply oozes too much sexiness that will put many guys half his age to
shame. Many married guys could learn a thing or two from him.
7. SOLAR OYEYEMI
We
had to travel across the border to find our next over 40 male hottie.
Solar resides in Dublin but is a regular on the London social scene.This
tall, dark and deeply dimpled shipping consultant wins our medal and
our heart for being so hot. His casual and effortless sophistication is
helped because he is naturally endowed with a body that just about
anything will sit well on.
8. FEYISARA AKINWUNMI
Always
smiling, ever charming Feyisara the African Entertainer knows how to
disarm the ladies and that is mainly where his hotness lies. Maybe its
the entertainer in him but he always seem to have the ladies flocking
around him or maybe its the natural animal magnetism around him that
just seems to draw everyone to him. He’s got a voice that will melt
hardened butter and dance moves that will exhaust men half his age!
9.LARRY KING
Larry
King will be the first to tell you he shouldn’t be on this list but we
disagree. This highly talented yet modest performer has the natural
grace and looks that many in their industry lack. His piercing gaze and
gentle smile can draw in even the most resolved person and endear them
to him forever. A highly versatile dresser, Larry looks just as good in
native attires as he does in street casual or formal outfits.
10. BAYO OYEKAN
This
list will not be complete without the guy with the Biggest Smile. Bayo
Oyekan is London’s most notorious ladies man – and not because of his
private antics. Bayo has a natural ability to draw women of any age to
him as they are all his “sweetnesses” and this drives a lot of husbands
and boyfriends crazy! Ladies just love Bayo and he has more women on his
social media friends’ list than any other male on Facebook and he has
been photographed with just as many ladies. He is a suave, sharp,
sophisticated dresser and is always immaculately and beautifully turned
out whether in traditional, casual or formal wear and even the
occasional times you manage to get him in a tie! But there is just that
something about our Bee.
