Trevor Noah GQ Men Of The Year cover star
Updated | By Stacey and J Sbu
One of our favourites, your golden boy, South African stand up comedian, Trevor Noah, is representing as the GQ Men Of The Year cover star. He just keeps coming back for more and he looks amazing.
Noah killed the shoot he did for GQ! He looked like a whole different person and served all his looks very well.
On the cover, shot by Shaniqwa Jarvis, Noah is wearing a pickle green jacket, with matching turtleneck by Salvatore Ferragamo and, without a doubt, he rocked his well-kept Afro.
In a recent interview with Wesley Lowrey, he spoke about racism and how hard it is to explain in America. He also dived in and spoke about growing up as a multiracial child during the apartheid era in South Africa, and how as the Daily Show host he has seen racists acts in America and it's still shocking for him.
He made an example of a homeless man outside his studios who, despite living on the streets, is still racist toward people of colour. How hectic?
Noah explained:
He's homeless, but he'll say super-racist or sexist sh*t to my employees, like the women. Sometimes I have to check him. Never says anything to the white guys who are with us. And it's that weird power dynamic where you go, ‘So wait, let me get this straight: You're homeless, but in your head, you're like, Yeah, I'm still white.’ And I'm like, ‘But you're homeless,’ ”- Noah
He also spoke about the killing of George Floyd, to which he describes as the most painful video he’s ever seen.
He said:
I don't know what made that video more painful for people to watch. The fact that man was having his life taken in front of our eyes? The fact that we were watching someone be murdered by someone whose job is to protect and serve? Or the fact that he seemed so calm doing it, you know? One ray of sunshine for me at that moment was seeing how many people instantly condemned what they saw. And maybe it's because I'm an optimistic person, but I don't think I've ever seen anything like that, especially not in America.- Noah
Despite it all, the comedian has managed to create a name for himself in a foreign country. And while many of his peers want to make it to the Forbes list, Noah wants to be on the Forbes Happiest List.
Noah said:
I don't want to be the hardest-working man in Hollywood. I don't want to be on the Forbes list. Forbes Happiest List – put me there if there's such a thing,- Noah
For the shoot, Noah donned opulent designs, here are some fire looks he served for the cover:
