This is Tyson Beckford, a 41(!) year-old male fashion model, I just looked him up. If you told me this guy was 31, I would believe you despite how long he’s been on the scene. That’s because I always confuse him with Tyrese Gibson, a 33 year-old model who is also a bald African American guy with a gorgeous physique and haunting eyes. I could on about each of them, with the same adjectives, for quite some time.
Well Tyson really wants to distinguish himself from Tyrese. “Someone” (read: Tyson) is shopping a sex tape in which he gets off, remotely, with a female model online, and goes on at length about his career. It’s like a video promo with Tyson jerking off to his past and future prospects. According to TMZ, Tyson talks about his movie roles and how people often confuse him with Tyrese. In response to this, Tyson has tweeted that it doesn’t “faze him.” Of course it doesn’t, he’s hoping this relaunches his career. Sex tapes, especially of celebrities, don’t get released in this climate without each of the participants signing off. Here’s more on this story, thanks to TMZ:
A sex tape which is said to feature male supermodel Tyson Beckford is being shopped around the adult entertainment community … TMZ has learned.
Sources tell us … the seller insists the 45-minute tape shows the former Polo model pleasuring himself during a recent Internet video chat with a female model.
We’re told … during the chat session, Tyson makes references to some of the movies he’s appeared in … and talks about some of his co-stars.
Sources say Beckford also reveals one of his pet peeves — being mistaken for Tyrese Gibson…
TMZ broke the story … someone is shopping footage of the 41-year-old former Polo model pleasuring himself during a recent Internet video chat with a female model.
Tyson went on Twitter yesterday to address the issue with fans … saying he’s “sad but life goes on.”
“Don’t even faze me” … Tyson added … “We all do it, just mine got caught on film.”
He also admitted, “Not much of a sex tape lol.”
Beckford also got Twitter love from “Transformers” star Tyrese Gibson … the same guy who he gripes about being confused with on the sex tape.
“What folks don’t know is that Tyson opened the door for me to model” … Tyrese explained.
Tyrese also says the confusion with Tyson has helped him get laid (like these guys need help) … saying, “I’ve pulled a few of your fans who thought I was YOU..!! They were too bad to let them go!! Lol!”
[From two stories on TMZ]
What a coincidence that we’re treated to both a “sex tape” with Tyson along with a treatise on his fabulous career. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to see this guy get busy, but with a partner, not alone with his thoughts of grandeur. This is one way to get his name in the press again, and in his mind it’s probably not a bad one. He’s not really going to satisfy his female fans, though. Maybe it’s just my take on it, but guys and their hands just don’t do it for me. I don’t care how hot they are. Not that I wouldn’t watch this.

Oh, please…personal sex tapes are practically released nowadays.
By the way, has any of you girls seen the pictures of Shauna Sand having sex on the beach? She is CLEARLY posing for the photographers.
P.S.: trust me, if your diet needs a boost, the pictures will make you lose your appetite and you may give up having lunch (or throw up if you have already eaten).
I saw the Shauna Sands pics and I thought they were posed too, especially b/c you can never see the dude’s face in any of the pics. It’s like she didn’t want any distractions from her.
GAWD! Even the double handed beej was posed on film.
There should have been a disclaimer at the bottom.
No lucite was harmed in the making of this sex tape.
Wasn’t that so terrible? So trashy, so orange….so full of tight, tiny acid-washed shorts with man thighs exploding out of them. Combined with the sand they were rolling in that HAD to be getting places, it made me feel like showering over and over until the end of time.
The top of his head is strangely flat on that first pic.
Such blatant self-promotion is a total turn-off. Knowing he did this makes me think he’s completely smarmy and vapid, but…oh, wait, you already said he’s a model!
He’s blase about it, because in this society women are still wh*res but men are adventurous studs.
+1
Like the tape of Colin Farrell in comparison to Ebola…
Wait.
I’d rather see Colin’s naked ass anytime of the week over Parasite’s skank galore under bad-lit display.
Yes, it’s oddly true. A woman’s sex tape makes me cringe, while a male star’s one makes me perk up. Huh. I wish for a Henry Cavill tape soon, oh Gossip Genie, can you hear my prayer?
I never watched the Colin sex tape, did it just show his butt or was it full frontal?
Regarding the Tyson tape: I’m not sure I want to see a guy (no matter how hot) wacking himself off. I don’t know. Maybe I wouldn’t seek this tape out, but given the opportunity I would watch it. Anyway, a guy talking about himself during is always a turnoff.
Colin’s tape showed everything, including his…uh…love of giving oral presentations.
^^^^HAHAHAHAHA!!
Oral presentation. Priceless!
And I say this tongue in cheek!
LOL! Thanks for the laughs Jaye!
I don’t think that’s because we are sexist but because we are straight females. I do wish Pammy had been edited out of the Tommy Lee one!
Seriously, I tend to put myself in the place of the female lead in films and books so I probably do in sex tapes and I don’t want to be peed on nor do I want to look stoned and bored giving some F lister a BJ in Vegas – Paris was a long, long time ago.
Shauna Sand…. isn’t that what she does? I didn’t even know it existed. I’d be curious to see her topless to see how painful the gravity and pieces of skin holding those suckers up braless looks. Not curious enough to Google.
I haven’t seen these sex tapes hurt women’s careers. No A-Listers have been hurt in the filming of this movie. The highest list person in those tapes was Pammy she was at her peak when it was released. She was more or less known as a sex performer anyway so what’s the harm?
Tyson doesn’t even have the guts to do a full on sex tape so #SEXTAPEFAIL
PS: Colin Farrell – ick he always set off my sleaze-dar. I don’t think I’m alone because I think he could have been a bigger star but he isn’t – why?
Kaiser can you post Tyson and Tyrese next to each other. I think I’m a Tyrese girl but I need to be sure.
i’m glad he’s not fased by it. it will be a non-story that will go away quickly. he’s clearly not cut from the same cloth as the famewhores who make a stink about their own sex tapes just to get more mileage from the alleged scandal (hello, kim k.).
also, i don’t really understand how people mistake him for tyrese… tyson has been a model for ages (i would venture to say close to two decades), his face is so familiar.
Nope…he’s the same type of famewhore.
Good looking guy who doesn’t know how to dress! What is with the 1 pant leg up? Dumb bow tie. What is he wearing in that last picture? A life jacket?
He has a beige backpack on and is wearing a black shirt.
He’s blase about it because he’s still trying to dispel those gay rumours about him and Tyga getting it and being discovered by Karinne Superhead Steffans.
I mean he is still gorgeous and do what it do and everything but the way Superhead tells it, shit was real when she walked into that hotel room. Like blood on the sheets real! Chile.
Not Tyga…Big Tigga. They are actually two different people. And a video of him having a wank isn’t necessarily going to dispel those gay rumours.
I wouldn’t believe everything Superhead says; I mean, sure maybe he is gay, but she claims that almost everyone is gay and she has been caught lying before.
Tyga, Big Tigga, a feline of some sort then LOL.
I agree she’s not always reliable, but some things I am willing to believe more than others.
Tyson Beckford sex tape has already hit the internet! http://www.omdoubleg.com/entertainment/sadly-tyson-beckford-cant-get-a-woman-to-co-star-in-his-sex-tape/
I have to say, I LOVE this guy. My college roommates and I all watched the Make Me a Supermodel series on Bravo, and his hosting/mentoring was one of the best parts.
Not only was he always really sweet and supportive of the guys (they had a different mentor for the girls), but there were all these little scenes of him, like walking into the house or something and just being flat out adorable.
Personally I don’t think a non-actor could have faked it, especially given the difficulty involved in comedic timing.
Also, beyond being good looking and black, I really don’t see a lot of resemblance between him and Tyrese Gibson. Tyrese has a much sleeker ‘prettier’ face, while Tyson has a more square jawed traditionally handsome face. In fact, beyond coloring and unusually slanted eyes, these two look nothing alike.
Edit: just to clarify, when I mention ‘coloring’ in the above statement I’m not trying to be subtle or smart-ass-ed about saying they’re both black, I really do mean that their particular shades are extremely similar, the same way Cate Blanchet and Claire Daines have very similar coloring.
“beyond being good looking and black, I really don’t see a lot of resemblance between him and Tyrese Gibson.”
Exactly! They look nothing alike.
Yup, I agree and was just going to post this–Tyson Beckford and Tyrese Gibson look nothing alike! They do have in common that they are both very beautiful people (personally I prefer Beckford though :P).
Just FYI, Tyson himself had stated in this particular article that he is sometimes confused for Tyrese.
And I agree, Tyson is so pretty/cute, while Tyrese just breathes sleaze for me.
He said people confuse them, not that he thinks they look alike. I do think that there names are pretty similar though. So if you saw a small photo and the caption was male model ‘T-name’ or whatever there could easily be confusion. I mix up names All. The. Time. faces, not so much.
I think it’s the names and both being famous African American MALE models. Famous male models are rare and to me male models are all interchangeable. I think Tyson is part Chinese, hence the eyes.
I confuse them like I do the Ryans. It’s not that they look a like per se (if you pay attention and I don’t always), it’s that they appear to be of similar coloring, age and type. I don’t have the energy to pay attention – generic cute guy… next…
I think I prefer Tyrese and Green Lantern Ryan but I am only 90% sure.
I honestly don’t know one guy from the Yard Of Chris Actors from another. I truly, truly don’t.
Exactly!
Maybe I was just in love with the Unbreak My Heart video so much in 1997. But I always know Tyson from Tyrese.
Tyrese has been in movies and is a singer so he’s seen much more over the years in other areas besides walking the runway.
My mind is blown. I didn’t get hem confused…I thought they were the same person.
WOW! He’s beautiful.
What was the article about?
Ewww Can you imagine holding hands with him after seeing his “sex”tape ? DOUBLE EWW
Really how old are you? Every man you shake hands with used it to have a wank.
And yep, I’d shake more than his hand if I wasn’t married. People do have sex, in all kinds of ways.
Shoot, my hubby used to be on tour for a few weeks to months and Skype and phones are necessary, unless you live like a monk.
SO yeah, above 13, they are all using their hands to do that to themselves. Ever seen a horse masturbate? Yep, they do it to.
Damn, that is one good-looking dude. So… WTF is up with his jeans leg in the first picture after the story text? Because that is not cool. That is, in fact, just stupid. There is no level of hotness that can compensate for randomly rolling ONE jeans leg up over your calf.
Is the pant leg tomfoolery coming back? I remember it was pretty big for a minute around 1997 when LL Cool J started doing it. I remember he was sporting that style pretty regularly on that show he had with Debbie Allen, In The House. I don’t really remember anything about it, except his character talking about the ‘universe’ a lot, and the show being kind of a haven for the black stars of yesteryear. Alfonso Ribiero, Lark Voohies, Robin Givens, Kim Wayans, and that light-skinned dude who always gets called up whenever an ‘urban’ show needs a ‘bougie’ romantic rival showed up on it, not to mention that light-skinned lady who always gets called up when they need a brittle and elegant ‘bougie’ boss. Clearly, I’m too lazy to look up the names of character actors, but don’t shame too hard, I had the pleasure of having an ovarian cyst rupture on my birthday last week and I’m just coming back into my sanity. I think the best danged steak in my life had a lot to do with it because it was the first time I’ve ever had bernaise sauce, and I’m in a whole new world, now.
It seemed to be on a lot during my summer of jet lag in 1999. Apparently, England continues to air programs with predominantly black American casts for much longer than the ‘Six unpromoted episodes shown sporadically at 1:00 AM–no movie, no mule’ lip service kiss-off so standard in Canada
And his Character’s name was Marion, but no one was allowed to call him that. I don’t remember what they called him. I do remember that the girl who played Debbie Allen’s daughter ended up developing a really horrible case of schitzophrenia–to the point where she couldn’t work or take care of herself. I guess it’s a similar case to Lisa Nicole Carson. Apparently, when the girl’s mother (a neurologist, or something) passed away suddenly no one was around to care for her and I think she got into drugs and prostitution without her mother there to care for her. Really, really sad and I have no idea what’s going on with her, now.
Whoa. Talk about a brain rush. I haven’t thought about any of this stuff in almost fifteen years. You know how you completely forget that something existed because widespread lack of interest or promotion kind of doomed it to the catacombs of your (and everyone else’s) memory until something remote causes you to remember it in full, pulsing colour?
Remember Roc? Malcolm And Eddie? New York Undercover? The Kid ‘N’ Play Show? That show that Seinfeld had? Wait, that show that Sinbad had? Me And The Boys? Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper? Hammerman? No trend there.
The Guys Next Door! Does anyone else remember that wretchedness?
Based on the description Tyson should be blasé about it. It doesn’t sound like much is going on. A lot of people don’t make a big deal about nude photos/tapes. Nobody claimed Scarlett Johannson release nude photos of herself when she didn’t care.
Eh, I don’t care about the sex tape either and had never heard about the Shawna Sand one. He’s still really nice eye candy. He always was so handsome.
I’d say he’s blase about it because he released it himself. There were stories years back about what a desperate fameho this guy was… sorry cannot recall details, just that he had a rep for being willing to climb over (or on) anyone anywhere anyhow anytime to be famous. Nobody gives a damn about him now and voila… sex tape. Big blase yawn.
If by “it”, you mean jerking off while holding an online chat with someone you aren’t even close to being in any kind of a relationship with, then NO, Tyson, we don’t “all do it.”
There are still a few of us out there with a little dignity.
Some odd female? I thought it was at least his GF. Oh, but those gay rumors. Hmmm.
I don’t really give a crap.
