Shaquille O’Neal’s flirtatious side might not be often witnessed, but he has that for sure. He once spent an entire interview flirting with TV show host Rocsi Diaz on E! News “Daily Pop. The flirting began after the co-host prompted Shaq to show some of his own modeling talents, after which he made a ‘Call Me’ gesture towards Diaz. This is not the first time Shaquille has flirted in the public eye.

Back in 2016, in a “Lip Sync Battle,” Shaq performed the song ‘Maniac’ from Flashdance. The song originally featured Jennifer Beals. This, however, is not when his infatuation with the gorgeous star Jennifer Beals began. Shaq recalls that he once sat next to a woman on a plane and could not stop flirting.

Later, it turned out that it was none other than Jennifer Beals herself. He found her to be stunning as he revealed that he really wished to flirt with her. Shaquille O’Neal was questioning whether he should begin with a Flashdance question or not. He later met Jennifer at the baggage claims, and the two struck up a conversation. Shaq loved that Jennifer was nice, and interestingly, she was the first superstar he had ever met.

Shaquille O’Neal was awestruck by Jennifer Beals

An old interview on O’Neal’s encounter with Jennifer Beals was covered by USA Today recently.

Shaq said,?“My God, she was so beautiful. I wanted to flirt, but I didn’t want to lead with that “Flashdance” question. We land and meet again at baggage. So I introduced myself and asked if she was in “Flashdance.” It was Jennifer Beals. She was one of the first superstars I ever met. And she was so nice. That’s why I love her.”

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most desirable out there. The four-time NBA champion with Los Angeles Lakers and Miami Heat has dated a number of women from Hollywood, but it’s evident that she holds a dear place in his heart.
