Justin Baldoni is best-known for playing the frequently shirtless baby daddy Rafael Solano on Jane the Virgin, and he will now bring that same hunky sensitivity to a new project that aims to redefine masculinity. Baldoni will lead a new, weekly talk show called Man Enough with a diverse, rotating cast that includes Brazilian MMA fighter Anderson Silva, ballroom dancer Derek Hough, actor Matt McGorry, Egyptian comedian Bassem Youssef, transgender activist Aydian Dowling, spoken word artist Prince Ea, and Hamilton star Javier Muñoz.
Man Enough will explore “what it means to be a man today,” with topics ranging from body image to fatherhood to dating and relationships. Baldoni told the Hollywood Reporter that given what’s been happening in the news, sexual abuse will also be on the docket. “There absolutely needs to be an episode of our show that has to do with sexual assault or harassment or the broken accountability system that we as men have when we don’t stand up for other women when we hear locker room talk and things like that,” he said.
Episodes will launch on the show’s website , which is currently home to a countdown clock laid over what looks like a 50 Shades of Grey poster, on Nov. 28.
