Bryan continues, “You’d have to ask HBOif there is a future for it. I’ve put it in the past and focused on otherprojects, but hey, you never know!” Needless to say, the 36-year-old actor hasbeen keeping himself quite busy. First up, he returns to HBO in their original biopicBessie, premiering on May 16.
In the film about blues singerBessie Smith’s life, he plays producer John Hammond. “I’m a fan of the blues soI knew her music, but I didn’t really know her story,” he explains. “She had ahard, but amazing life. She was a rockstar before there were rockstars.”
Queen Latifah stars as Bessie andaccording to Bryan, “She was so cool.” Watching her perform on set in Atlanta, he admits, “I hadto remind myself I was still acting because I got swept away.”
During his time down in the ATL, he wasalso working on his third album Everything Changes, which will be released May26. “The blues is always going to be a part of my sound,” he shares. “I feellike the album has more of a modern sound. I’ve been recording it on and offfor the last four years.”
He continues, "I'm fascinated with the concept of time. I went through a lot of changes with this album." As for what specifically has changed for him? “Everything! The things that were important to me in my 20s hold little importance in my30s,” the star says. “I’m getting married. That’s a pretty big change.”

Bryan proposed to actress Jamie Chungover the holidays in 2013, and the two are busy planning their upcoming wedding.While we are sure Jamie will love every song on the album, Bryan thinks her favoritewill be “All the Roads.” He also plays coy about any possible songs about hislove. “You never know,” he adds. “Maybe I’ll let the fans decide.”
One thing Bryan isn’t being coy on ishis passion for the Olevolos Project, a charity started by his cousin DoryGannes. “I first went to Tanzania in 2010, and I fell in love with the people,but I was devastated by the poverty,” he mentions. “I visited again in January.I finally got to meet the Olevolos kids for the first time. It was amazing tospend time with them and see how important it is to sponsor their education. I’mpersonally invested now.”
The actor is thankful at the support theyhave received to help improve the lives of the children living in the Olevolosvillage. On Saturday, the organization will host its fourth annual brunch inNew York City. “I’m surprised how many people are willing to help and donatetheir free time,” he expresses. “From all the hosts, the guests and thesponsors, it really blows me away every year.”
