AA: How has the knowledge of your African ancestry (that we provided) has impacted you?
Mr. Underwood: It given me a sense of community and satisfied a lifelong curiosity. A welcome surprise that my people are from Nigeria & Ibo people.

AA: Why do you believe this knowledge of ancestry is important?
Mr. Underwood: The knowledge has given me a better understanding of the person I've become. I believe our DNA plays a large part. It explains certain characteristics, traits, be it personal, medical or culturally.

AA: What have you done with your African Ancestry results?
Mr: Underwood: Distributed among every Underwood I know and family members at a recent Family Reunion.

seems like we nigerians claim every black guy in hollywood. especialy those who r succesful. but we will never claim the losers and criminals who are behind bars all over this country

I wish he wasn't so hot. I look at him and I just melt. sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxy

It's not surprising, he looks like one.

I am not surprised cos the truth of the matter is that all black pple are from Africa and all thaose black americans if traced will just lead back to their origins;even this khloes husband;jennifer hudsons hubby too are nigerians

Jennifer hudson's husbands father is 100% Kenyan and his mother is white so he most likely is not Nigerian

Watching the on-going 'The Event' now, featuring Blair Underwood. The guy is cute and hot, anyways, it's a fact! And lemme remind you, He's from Igbo descendants! *runs and hide*
