Like we said, for Chestnut, in so many ways, his art often imitates his life. In 2014, when asked which of his characters he felt was most relatable to he really is, he answered: “I find myself in each character, so there is a part of me in most of my characters. I would say Lance (The Best Man Holiday) is pretty close to who I am, just in terms of his priorities in life, how he treats his family, how he treats his wife and his passion for sports.”

“When I met my wife, there were a lot of qualities I was paying attention to,” Chestnut once told ESSENCE. “I knew that she would be a great mother just for how she cared for her nephew and her family. She respected her mother and she respected her family and those were some of the initial qualities that I saw that I thought would make her a great partner.”
