Tyrese to Homeless -- Gatorade Is Your Salvation

Posted May 6th 2009 12:27PM by TMZ Staff

The secret to escaping poverty could be locked inside a bottle of Gatorade, if you believe the honorable teachings of one Tyrese Gibson.

A homeless man tried hitting up the model/actor for some cash last night -- what he got was a pretty solid economics lesson in how to profit off of parched drunks by flipping bottles of Gatorade outside of nightclubs.

Tyrese even floated the dude a few bucks so he could get the ball rollin'.

Who says models don't use their brains?

6. I think he gave the guy a great tip. But I wouldn't be surprised is the guy is stuck in a loser mentality waiting for some Obama stimulus money.

8. I love it and Tyrese, not only did he give the man money but treated him as a person. Tyrese kept eye contact gave him some advice, you know the saying if you teach a man to fish....well you know the rest.

10. You can't just give homeless people tips like that, tey are there for a reason, they aren't survivors like most people are. They are survivors in a sense, but they don't think like how can i make money with this money. They are thinking about their next burger or drink...and who can blame them in their siutation. But they were not good at surviving to start with to get there, so it's not easy to expect to teach them something in five minutes. Tyrese would literally have to take him home annd be his mentor to get anywhere, sad but true. Plus like i said, where would he keep those gatorades cold?

11. Last time I checked, Tyrese was a singer and "actor", not a model.
