Here is what the 41-year-old Fast & Furious 6 actor had to share with the mag:

On how his divorce made him a better man: “I want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‘Here I am. This is me.’ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.”

On what he wants in a relationship: “I want someone who can trust that my big hands are going to take care of them.”
