Blind as a bat
In an interview with R. M. Vaughan for The Globe and Mail, actor Chris O’Donnell says that he is glad his days as a teen idol are over:
– You went through a “sex object” period a decade ago…
– You mean the “let’s do a photo shoot with leather pants and a tank top” period?
– Yes. Not that you’re any less sexy now, but are you glad that’s over or do you miss the screaming teens?
– No, it’s freeing. I had a lot of success right out of the gate, and felt a lot of mounting pressure. The fear of failure was so great it was becoming a burden. I’ve obviously had my share of bombs over the years, but the pressure’s off and I can still do what I love to do.
I do not miss the screaming teens either but I do miss Chris in leather pants. Some time long ago I thought that leather pants and boyish charm are both great things but mix poorly.
How blind I was!
Leonard
It looks like just another erotic wall calendar centered around one male model. Leonard sits, Leonard lies, Leonard frowns, Leonard smiles.
What is exceptional about the calendar is that Leonard is a schlager star from Switzerland. Yes, you read correctly. A schlager star. And this isn’t even the first time Leonard sells his body instead of his singing voice. A poster book about him was published already in 2006.
I wonder which Finnish male schlager stars could have the potential to earn some additional income with the help of an oiled torso and a pair of leather pants. Simo Silmu? Janne Raappana?
