“A lot of people assume that I’m a womaniser, but I’m not,” he said on The Culture League podcast while chatting with some industry friends. “I’m not as in the street as people may think I am.”
The movie star admitted to being single for the last two to three years. He added that he doesn’t mind it, but enjoys being the bad boy sometimes.
Timini also spoke about the reality of growing older, and how it affects one’s choices, decisions, and circle in life.
“No matter how young or baby-boy-ish you look, the truth is that you’re getting older,” he said.
Timini also spoke about his professionalism as an actor and said he does not date colleagues.
“On set, we keep it professional. I can beat my chest to say I don’t date actors where I work,” the actor said.
