Christopher Tucker

by Trey from Minnesota

"I wanted to cut down on the profanity, because I think I'm funnier without sayin' a lot of cuss words."

A lot of people think Chris Tucker is a funny but not an important person. On the other side, behind the camera, he is a very serious person and cares a lot about the community.

Tucker was born in Atlanta, Georgia. He was the son of Mary Tucker who is involved in church work. Norris Tucker, Chris’s father, worked in janitor services. Tucker was raised in Decatur, Georgia. After graduating from Columbia High School he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his comedy career.

Chris Tucker had no relatives that he knew of beyond his parents. So, he took a DNA test and found out that he is 83% sub Saharan African, 10% Native American, 7% European.

Chris Tucker is all about charity. He has a charity in Africa fighting AIDS in young African women. Once his "Rush Hour 3" money of 25 million dollars runs out, he will just focus on nothing but charity. Chris has also turned down 100 million dollars in movie offers so he can focus on charity.

I like what Chris is doing because AIDS is killing people more and more every year and it’s getting bad. I just don’t like the work that he does on camera. I also like what he does on camera. Chris Tucker is a great role model and a hero in my eyes.
