Rush Hour star Chris Tucker revealed that he has been celibate for the past three years during a comedy gig in Las Vegas recently.
Chris Tucker hasn’t had sex for three years.
The Rush Hour star explained that he has been celibate for the past three years because he is waiting to get married again during a comedy gig in Las Vegas last week.
Sources who attended the show – in which audience members were asked to lock up their phones before they entered – told TMZ that Tucker said: “Well, I’m celibate. I’ve been celibate for three years, but I’m really trying to get married. I give it to the love this time.”
The 54-year-old star added: “I’m serious. No one believes me.”
Tucker – who has son Destin, 27, with his ex-wife Azja Pryor – explained that members of his own family aren’t convinced by his celibacy claim, including his niece.
He quipped: “She believes in aliens, but she don’t believe I did that.”
Tucker also revealed some of the reactions he has received from women after revealing that he has not been having sex.
He is said to have joked: “She said, ‘How much? How much… how much is it?’ I’m not selling it. I’m celibate! What is wrong with you people?”
Meanwhile, Tucker previously revealed that he planned to keep his comedy shows “edgy” in the face of cancel culture.
The Friday star told Page Six back in 2023: “You know, I want everybody to come to my show to laugh, have fun, to learn something – learn about what I’m thinking about – and then what got me to my point in life or success.
“It’s who I am not to really offend people and I try and I’m always conscious and stuff and hopefully I don’t.
“If I do, I tell them, ‘I’m sorry’, you know, because it’s definitely a little – my show is edgy, a little bit, but not too edgy.”
Tucker is arguably best known for his roles in movies such as the Rush Hour buddy cop franchise – in which he features alongside Jackie Chan – but insists that comedy will always be his true passion.
He said: “My movie career happened really fast, so that took up a lot of my time.
“But in my heart of hearts, I always was a stand-up comic and I never want to ever give it up because that’s what got me to the movies.”
