Michael Vartan in the movie Rogue

Tally another one in the column of "Scary Movies that Chris Won't See Since He's a Wuss." Rogue is on the way to theaters, and you can now recognize me on the street as "that guy always looking behind him for giant crocodiles."

Michael Vartan stars in Rogue as a writer venturing out into remote Australian wetlands with a tourist group, on a nature tour that turns deadly due to a huge. freaking. crocodile.

In other news, we'll be at Disneyland this weekend -- where there will probably be one of the giant crocodiles from Fantasia walking around at some point. If I don't return on Monday then I'm probably in Disney jail somewhere...

Robert Downey Jr. In Iron Man

Doug and I are back in town after a weekend trip (and our 7-year anniversary!) where we took a few hours on Saturday afternoon to go see Iron Man, which got some seriously insane box office cash over the weekend.

Starring in Iron Man, of course, is Robert Downey Jr. And it looks like he's been training a bit for the role! The movie was great, and if you stay all the way through the credits you'll get a big teaser for another major Marvel movie that will have the rumor-mills buzzing.

Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds is officially off the market. It explains why he hasn't been returning my calls. I'm happy for him, though -- really. These are tears of happiness...

Maybe looking at some of our past Ryan Reynolds coverage will help ease the pain? (Cue the montage set to the song "I Will Remember You")

Queer Utah Aquatic Club Ski-N-Swim 2008

Photographer Dav.d Daniels shared some of his great shots from the Queer Utah Aquatic Club (QUAC) Ski-N-Swim 2008, which took place in February. Swimmers get in such incredible shape... and then putting 'em in a speedo? Well, you can't help but love the uniform.

More photos after the jump, and in our Flickr Photo Group!

Ben Cohen

Ben Cohen looks pretty good for being half of the Ben & Jerry's team, eh? Ok, you got us... this isn't that Ben Cohen, but the famous rugby player of the same name.

This Ben Cohen is seriously hot, though -- and very appreciative of his diverse group of fans. An event in London on May 28th is in the works called BENediction, which will be an exclusive party for his gay fans.

Eddie Cibrian as a PE teacher on Ugly Betty

If I had a gym teacher this sexy, I'd probably be flunking out too. Eddie Cibrian joined the cast of Ugly Betty as the gym teacher of Betty's not-quite-straight nephew, Justin.

Eddie had been tapped for the US version of Footballer's Wives -- which has yet to be picked up by a network. Keep those fingers crossed, though, as it the series is still reportedly in play.

Nathan Leigh Jones

Much like Rick Seibold, we found NLJ via a Facebook ad. He's an Aussie guy who draws on Ben Folds and Jamie Cullum. You can find his tracks on iTunes, his Facebook, or on his Web site.

Nathan Meckley

The VMan.com Ford Models Model Search 2008 is still going strong, and we have a new gent vying for your attention and affection. Nathan Meckley got a hold of us over the weekend and needs your help drumming up votes -- and we think he's definitely worthy!

Asked about why he's the right person for the title, Nathan said,

"Other than that I really think It's an amazing opportunity for all the models. I currently am a manager at the Soho Diesel store in NY and I really love it. But on the side I love to get the modeling side work, and especially the runway jobs! I really think people should vote for me because I love fashion and really think I can be an inspiration and a role model in the industry. I graduated from University Of Nevada Reno, packed two backpacks and purchased my one way ticket to the fashion capitol of the US... NY... I love to model, it's something I really enjoy doing and would love to have the opportunity to be on VMAN."

You can vote once every 24 hours, so go do your part and vote for Nathan! We've posted four more photos after the jump if you need more convincing. :)

Francesco Cura


And now we'd like to share some fantastic photographs of actor-model Fracesco Curá, shared with us by photographer Jim Stewart. Our only problem? Narrowing down which awesome photos we'd share!

Photographer Jim Stewart stumbled into a three-year artistic journey with Francesco after what was supposed to be a routine headshot gig. You can see the results of their efforts, and how the team embodies whatever vision and concept they arrive at!

Check out more selected photos from their series -- ten photos in all!

Erik Bunten photographed by Rick Day

connex24.7 connects with Erik Bunten. While Erik is a model, in his personal life he admits to being less than a slave to fashion, admitting "most days I'm ragged out going commando in a pair of jeans, t-shirt, and flops." Erik's one of those guys that can make a burlap sack work, though.

Check out three more hot photos after the jump, and his full interview at connex24.7!

That's right, it's my birthday again! I turn 29 this year, and am glad that I've made it this far. (I also learned this year that it is also the birthday of Andy Towle from Towleroad, so Happy Birthday Andy too!)

I just wanted to mention that I love and appreciate your readership, and that you don't leave me for someone younger and prettier. :)

But now onto the important business... birthday presents. Leave a comment with which hot hunk you'd like to have wrapped up and delivered to my doorstep in celebration! (If you also have wonderful things to say about the site, well, I won't stop you. *wink*)

Thanks for reading, the hunks will resume later today.

Gossip Guy Penn Badgley

A dramatic season is wrapping up on Gossip Girl! While there is a nice selection of men to choose from on the show, one of my favorites has to be Penn Badgley (who plays Dan Humphrey.) Check out the season finale on Monday!

Paul Walker

I was cruising around the web and this photo set of Paul Walker caught my eye. It's from Gay Body Blog, a newer site that has added our Hunk du Jour Site Badge to their page.

Max Wettstein for Undergear

Undergear is getting into the entertainment business with some new offerings on their web site. One of their new efforts is A Model Life, where they aim to give you more information about some of their models.

This month's feature includes Max Wettstein, who has got some killer abs. (Seriously, someone could get hurt in there!)

What we don't learn from Undergear is that Max is a Captain for JetBlue Airways, and has been flying with them for five years. Prior to this he flew for the Navy for ten years based on the USS Abraham Lincoln and Carl Vinson. He has a BA in Mathematics, and was a pole vaulter and wrestler in college. He's been married for over 12 years to his college sweetheart, Donna, and they have a daughter named Bryce.

He writes for the interal JetBlue website about fitness, and has a book on fat loss in the works as well. (Plus he looks fantastic in these Unico trunks, yeah? There's a ton more photos of him at Max's web site and on Undergear.)

We're very excited to bring you this Hunk du Jour Interview. Be sure to read our past interviews, and if you've got an inside line on a noteworthy guy we should talk to, please let us know!

Bryan David Thomas, as shot by Rick Day

Last week I had the pleasure of speaking with the handsome gentleman above, who you've undoubtedly seen on some of our fellow blogs' pages. Bryan David Thomas has gone directly to the pages of fitness magazines, all the while in the hands of some of the best photographers in the business.

We had a lengthy chat about the business, his personal training advice, plus our signature Random Hunk Questions™, of course!

Check out our full interview with him -- right here!

Gaspard Ulliel

Gaspard Ulliel and I would like to welcome you back... Here in the states we have just finished a three-day weekend in honor of Memorial Day, and I'm now looking forward to an abbreviated work week.

Gaspard (who is also fluent in English) was featured in the movie Hannibal Rising last year. His charm did not seem to boost the lukewarm response of critics and crowds to the film.

I got this item from a reader (who I think is also an AOL staffer, but don't quote me on that) -- but I think I have a slightly different spin than Andie was hoping... how hot is Clay Aiken's band?

I'm not really a Clay fan -- though I totally loved his rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" on Idol (and catch myself humming that "Invincible" song every so often.) He's... uh... backed by a pretty fine set of musicians in this AOL Sessions video for "Ashes" though.

Petey, VMan Ford Models Model Search Winner 2008

Congratulations are in order to Petey Smith, the lucky winner of the VMan.com Ford Models Model Search 2008! Though he didn't rack up any votes in the online contest (according to his profile), he was selected as the Grand Prize winner by the editors of VMan from their combination online and casting-call search.

The online vote winner appears to be Renan Bonin. The winner of the online vote will appear in a fashion story on VMan.com and FordModels.tv!

Trevor Wright, as Zach in Shelter

I missed it in theaters, and don't have here! TV so I couldn't catch the cable premiere -- luckily Shelter was just released on DVD and I finally had the opportunity to see the film. Calling it "the gay surfer movie" seems to sell it short, but the description is the one I've seen most thrown around.

It was a great movie with a talented (and sexy) cast -- definitely worth taking a look at!
