Barnstorming the big screen, we’ll bet that Rochelle Aytes kicks up dust on studio lots
story Adell Henderson photography Julie Dennis Brothers
Hollywood prospect Rochelle Aytes is strangely drawn to men in dresses. After diggin’ on Shawn Wayans, who delivered a totally bitchin’ Becky impersonation in White Chicks (2004), Aytes found herself onscreen with man-in-pumps Tyler Perry in Madea’s Family Reunion, which raked in $30 million in its debut weekend. But don’t get your signals crossed. The Harlem native clearly knows the difference between a suit and a skirt. “I’m into athletic dudes,” says Aytes. “I like a nice muscular chest. That’s very attractive.” KING would love to discuss our chest preference with not quite 30-year-old Aytes, but she’s opposed to performing nude scenes. Doing pole tricks as a stripper with upward mobility for the camera, however, is a horse of a different color.
So you were never a Los Angeles hot girl shakin’ it like a saltshaker at the dirty disco?
You mean stripping [laughs]?
Slow down, French Vanilla! Some of my best friends are strippers.
French Vanilla [laughs]? That’s a good name—I’ll remember that when I do my next movie. I might be some type of exotic dancer.
So you wouldn’t mind slow-winding on the big screen?
I wouldn’t mind doing that as long as the storyline was important and she was getting out of it. I don’t wanna do any nudity or anything like that though.
