Ice-T on getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and how people have tried to cancel him for 40 years
Ice-T was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Feb. 17.
Ice-T revealed the raunchy way that he keeps the spark alive in his marriage to wife Coco Austin.
The 65-year-old actor shared the secret behind his 22-year marriage to the 44-year-old television personality during a recent interview with E! News.
"Jungle sex," the "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star said.

"When that flame goes out and you're not really attracted to each other anymore, you have to address that very quickly because it's something that's necessary."
The rapper met Austin on the set of a music video in 2001, and the two tied the knot a few months later. The pair renewed their vows in 2011 and welcomed their first child together, daughter Chanel, in 2015.
Ice-T, born Tracy Marrow, also shares daughter LeTesha Marrow, 47, with his former high school girlfriend Adrienne. He is also father to son Tracy Marrow Jr., whom he shares with his ex-girlfriend Darlene Ortiz.
