But that was okay because I was still present. I think I really lived in the present in my early twenties but sometimes in a real naive way.

Right? And I see me now versus me when I used to visit back home. Keith Powers: I think the best thing to do is to put down your phone and just really take in stuff around you, like literally being present. What are some things that you do to remember to be mindful and aware of the present and even grateful for what's happening now? You mentioned that you do your best to remain present. I see it in movies all the time, and it's easy to look at that question and be like, "That question is so cliche." But it's a real question. We all like, "What's our purpose?" You really start asking yourself that. I think we all have that question, though.

I don't know what it is, but I'm always like, Man, am I living my full potential? I just have that question. So I'm just trying to take in the stuff that's already around me that I love.īut always feel like there's something else out there. But I think that just comes from not remaining present, and I think when you're not present, you always try to find things, or you chase things, and then you'll never become content. To a certain extent, I do feel like I do have some days where I'm just like I feel like there's something out there missing that I love, that would just complete life. Do you feel like you're living your potential right now? Or do you feel like there are parts of you that don't feel like you're quite there yet? *Some responses have been edited for length and clarity. It could also be why the many TikToks occupying my For You page from ladies ready to risk it all with clips of Keith in The Perfect Find edited fittingly to R&B sounds and captions of "my man my man my man" that further punctuate the infatuation.Ĭandidly with xoNecole, Keith discusses his growth as an actor, prioritizing his mental health, leaning into love, and what makes a woman his perfect find. It's a powerful alchemy that is perhaps the secret to the actor's sauce. Being on the verge of a career comeback while being faced with an unexpected romance with a guy 15 years her junior lays the groundwork for a potential mess but also a potentially perfect find.ĭuring our conversation, I found the budding Hollywood heartthrob to be both an open book and a breath of fresh air with a shyness and humility you might not expect. Based on the novel by Tia Williams, the film is a romantic comedy helmed by Numa Perrier and follows the love story between a 40-year-old recently-single Jenna Jones ( Gabrielle Union) who finds her spark one night unexpectedly in the form of a much younger man (Keith Powers).Įric and Jenna share a kiss in a moment of meet-cute passion, but she soon learns that he is the son of her rival Darcy ( Gina Torres), who also happens to be her new boss. The 30-year-old California native plays opposite Gabrielle Union as her younger love interest in the movie. It’s a spell he casts without even trying and one that he shares with his character Eric in his latest film, Netflix’s The Perfect Find.

Upon introduction, Keith flashed his mega-watt grin and said my name in a deep honeyed tone that almost made me forget how to speak. With a smile that could light up the darkest room, soulful eyes that possess depth you can get lost within, and a charm that’s utterly irresistible, Keith Powers had me captivated way before his greeting on our Zoom call in late June.
