We've seen him model, sing, and star in a slew of movies -- but we've never seen Tyrese look like this!

The Fast And The Furious actor wore traditional Middle Eastern attire as he arrived at LAX to catch a flight headed to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates for a Formula One race on Nov. 29.

When asked about his outfit, the star said, "Instead of wearing regular clothing, I respect the tradition. I respect the culture -- a lot of family and loved ones out there... There's a lot of different issues around cultures and religions... but if you're going to someone's home, you respect their culture."

Sounds like unlike Rihanna and the Jenner sisters, who came under fire for not respecting some of the traditions when they visited Middle Eastern countries in past years, this actor is being thoughtful. We think that's great!
