Vivica A. Fox is still on the market and she’s tired of waiting for love. In a recent interview, Vivica, 59, admitted she’s had bad luck with men over the years.
“I wish I could say that I’m seeing someone special, I really do,” she told In Touch Weekly. Vivica said she’s given up on using dating apps to make a love connection.
“I believe in the magic of chemistry — to look across the room and someone catches your eyes and gives you butterflies. Plus, people lie on them apps, so no!”
She added: “The last two men I [went out with] had some surprises for me. My motto is ‘Live, love, laugh’ — I just wish I had a lot more loving going on!”
Would you like to get married again?
VF: Yeah, but he can have his own house and I can have mine.
You’ve had more than 240 roles during your iconic career. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned?
VF: The key to longevity is versatility. You have to keep evolving. Don’t just do one thing. Be a triple threat. You’re only going to be the hot piece for a certain amount of time, so where are you going next? Are you going to produce, or be a writer, or direct? Go into those different chapters gracefully.
Of all the parts you’ve played, do you have a favorite?
VF: I can name my top five movies: Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Set It Off, Two Can Play That Game — I got to kiss ‘ol Morris Chestnut! Kill Bill was one of the most physical roles that I ever played in my career. It got me in the best shape of my life. And Independence Day. That was the one that made me a movie star.
What can you reveal about your new project, Family Recipe Rumble?
VF: I’m going to be executive producer. We want to take people into each other’s kitchens to learn about each other’s food, so we don’t go, “Oh, I don’t eat that.” We’ve also forgotten to sit down and eat with each other. Put down your damn phone and don’t bring it to the table! So we’ll have a little competition and some fun.
What else is next for you?
VF: I want to go to Milan Fashion Week. I’ve never been to Italy. I’ve been so busy and blessed the last year — especially considering we went through a strike. No matter what I do, from movies to television shows to CarShield ads to whatever, I’m having the time of my life. I’m grateful.
Do you see yourself slowing down anytime soon?
VF: I’m gonna try to. But I’m turning 60 in July, and my bucket list is to go somewhere fabulous to celebrate!
