People pursue progress at their work, considering that will bring happiness. The truth is that being a part of a content family will bring success and joy at the same time!

Gbenga Akinnagbe, an American actor of the hit TV series 'The Wire,' might have found the other way to his success and happiness and he is still dating around with his works instead of getting married and settling down. 

Wondering why he is not interested in marriage even at the age of forty? 

Just take a closer look down below!

Gbenga Akinnagbe Marries His Passions!

Though Gbenga Akinnagbe may not have real life girlfriend or wife, the actor is already married to his 'passions'! 

The multitalented actor has been hovering unaccompanied and has not shown any signs of mingling till this date.  The actor dropped his status of being single in an interview back in April 2011 and said, 

“Yes. I like dogs but I leave so much it would not be possible to have a pet.”

Furthermore, when he was asked, “How is being a single man in NYC?" he explained,

“Ah, being single in NYC is a fascinating thing. You see everything. All stages. People who have been single in NYC in decades. People just arriving here. I try to learn from other people’s mistakes. It’s pretty easy to get a date or meet someone. You can sit down and talk to anyone and approach them. Because there are so many of us and the city is so crowded, we are all physically close; no one takes offense because space is so limited. That makes us both approachable and yet harder. It’s an interesting mix.”

Well, the answer is still same in 2017 too. Akinngbe was asked the same question again in an interview in October 2017. The actor replied,

“I’m alone and can start to look at designs for my furniture company, Enitan Vintage.” 

Though he clears the air about his single status, it's not that he opposes marriage. 

The stunning actor took to Twitter back on 11 March 2013 and shared his feelings about the odd society that does not hold a positive thought for gay marriage. 

Considering Gbenga's thoughts about his marriage and works, it is clear that he is in deep love with his passions.

The multitalented actor is not only limited to his acting career. Besides acting, he is an entrepreneur, a designer, a producer and a marathon runner too.

He is currently handling his company  “Liberated People," which focuses on a lifestyle brand and furniture design line.

Gbenga Akinnagbe is handling a lot and getting success in each of them. Perhaps, his busy schedule renders him less time for his romantic life. 

Gbenga, A Multitalented Actor: 

Gbenga, from a confused teenager to an actor, and an owner of a company, never derived his happiness as a performer only. 

As the child of Nigerian-immigrant parents, he has an intense experience of inequality. Maybe that experience taught him a great lesson to grab success in his life.

Besides his many professions, he is an aspiring writer too. He has written two articles published in “The New York Times.” 

The first was his experience of traveling in Nepal’s Himalayas while the second was about the medical procedures and healings.

Gbenga Akinnagbe's multi-talents blessed the world with his creativity as an actor, as an activist, as a designer, and as a runner too. He enjoys a net worth of $1 million and seems happy with busy schedules of his everyday life.
