Johnny Depp

STATS-
Age: 45
Height: 5' 10"
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Born: Owensboro, Kentucky

Johnny Depp
has graced Hollywood screens for 25 years. One of Depp's greatest talents is the ability to play practically any character with unparalleled believability. Recognizing this ability, he developed a close relationship with movie director, Tim Burton. They have teamed up for several movies over the years.

His latest screen credits have added to his depth, with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sweeney Todd. Depp has a couple projects in the works that we should be excited about, but most exciting is his upcoming role as the Mad Hatter, in Alice In Wonderland (opens in 2010).

Accomplishments aside, Depp remains a Hollywood hunk. His individuality and uniqueness keeping us on our toes to see what he will do next.

Age: 39
Height: 6' 1"
Hair: Blond

Born: San Jose, CA

Josh Halloway is best known for his as role as Sawyer on the hit ABC show Lost. To the excitement of people around the world, Sawyer spends a lot of time with his shirt off or in the water. Josh hit celebrity status fairly late in his career, but had some success in modeling while he was younger.

He was originally approached for the role of Gambit, in X-Men, but declined due to his commitments with Lost.

Robert Downey Jr

STATS-
Age: 43
Height: 5' 9"
Hair: Dark Brown
Eyes: Light Brown
Born: New York City, NY

If anyone was due for a comeback, it was Robert Downey Jr. For about 5 years (1996-2001), Downey spent most of his time in and out of jail for drugs. Not particularly known for a great body, Downey spent quite a bit of time preparing for the role in Iron Man. At the age of 43, Downey has proven his hunk worthy status. Most recently, he showed his humorous side playing "a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude" in Tropic Thunder. He was also nominated for this film in the Best Supporting Actor category.

Without further hesitation...

Simon Baker

STATS-
Age: 39
Height: 5' 10"
Hair: Dark Blond
Eyes: Blue
Born: Launceston, Tasmania, Australia

Blond hair, blue eyes, Australian accent? Heaven. Needless to say, Simon Baker has a foot in the door. Improving his odds, he gets his great body from surfing and water polo. Drool.

You might recognize him from this past year, where he starred in The Devil Wears Prada or as the leading role in the CBS series, The Mentalist. He has a few movies in the works, so keep a look out for this hunk!

Enjoy!

Shawn Roberts

STATS-
Age: 24
Hair: Light Brown
Eyes: Grey
Born: Stratford, Ontario

If Canada is hiding other hunks like Shawn Roberts, it might be time to seriously consider easing the immigration qualifications. Shawn has quite the resume of TV appearances, and without doubt, spends a lot of time with his shirt off.

You might remember his boyish grin in the first installment of X:Men as Rogue's boyfriend, Cody. Shawn has grown up quite a bit since then and it is apparent in his last role in the TV show Pysch.

Pictures from the episode after the jump! Enjoy!

Age: 39
Height: 6' 1"

Eyes: Green
Born: Wallasey, Merseyside, England, UK

Dominic Purcell is a British-born Australian actor, who now resides in the US. You heard me right, and that is quite the mouthful! He is best known for his role as Lincoln Burrows in Prison Break. It is easy to see why Dominic has gotten so much attention of as late. He has a smoking hot body, scruff, with an ethnic flair to boot. Wonder if they are hiding guys like him in prison?

Interesting Fact: Dominic's full name is Dominic Haakon Madbouli Myrtvedt Purcell.

Simone Luciolire photographed by Dean Stockings

Photographer Dean Stockings and covermodel Simone Lucioli got caught up in the bitter winter storm last month in London, nearly missing the deadline for the reFRESH magazine cover they were shooting! In this Hunk du Jour exclusive, I asked Dean how the cover ended up coming together:

Dean Stockings: This shoot took place during the week of snow we had in the UK back at the beginning of February. It was due to take place on 2nd, but London, and most of the country, came to a complete stand still... Very frustrating when you have a couple of hot guys lined up for a reFRESH cover shoot! By mid afternoon we realised that there was no way we were going to be able to all get together, either by rail road or air, so we reluctantly postponed. Finally the snow began to melt and we were able to rearrange the shoot for the Wednesday.

As the deadline was Thursday we knew we were cutting it fine, but there was nothing we could do. It still took Simone and Pierpaolo about two hours longer than usual to get here, and Simone had an important client booking for hair and make-up that evening, so we knew we were going to be really pushed for time. We kept in contact via phone, and Simone decided it would be best if they could do their hair and make-up on the train to save time when they got here - luckily that was going to be Simones job all along, so he had everything he needed, and set to on the train in a quiet corner, although several commuters were still giving them funny looks apparently!

As soon as the guys arrived, we rushed down to the studio at the bottom of my garden and got down to getting the desired cover shot. It was very brief, but with some cool underwear and a couple of sizling hot models, it's amazing how little time you need...

Such a great cover -- we would have never guessed about the adventure leading up to it's creation! Special thanks to Dean Stockings for this exclusive insight!

Jakub Stefano

We're so privileged to get in touch with some stellar photographers whose work we really admire. Photographer Bradford Rogne sent over these photos from his LASC campaign, featuring Jakub Stefano. He was also nice enough to answer a few of our questions in this exclusive Q&A!

How did you get connected with Jakub for the shoot?
Jakub and I actually connected thru MySpace, and decided we wanted to eventually work on a project together. He emailed me in January to let me know he'd be back in LA soon, so when this opportunity came up, I thought he'd be perfect! And he was!

What did it take for you to capture the mid-air shots of Jakub?
Well, I went out and got a trampoline for the shoot. But, little did I know how high Jakub can jump on his own. No trampoline required! Even with a basketball injury, he was able to stay in the air thru-ought the shoot, no problem. So, if anyone wants to buy a trampoline... :-)

What is your favorite photo from the campaign?
I have so many favorite images from the shoot. One of them is the jumping photo with the green tank top, yellow shorts and purple high tops. [ Ed - see the shot below! ] It's just a fun shot, and really captures the essence of what I wanted to get from the shoot.

What is the next project we can expect to see from you?
I'll have behind the scenes video and bonus photos for you this week, from my shoot with Instinct Magazines April 2009 cover shoot. I'll also have an undiscovered face for you to enjoy. A blue eyed Columbian beauty. Check back soon!

Michael Brent

Michael Brent has been getting more and more attention on the web lately, so we caught up with him for a little Q&A to ask him some incredibly topical and hard-hitting questions!

...ok, maybe it was more like what his favorite movies are, getting swindled at age 14 by a faux agency, and how awkward of a teenager he was.

At any rate, it was a very fun conversation - I hope you enjoy it too!

Alex Prinz as photographed by Dean Stockings

It's a Hunk du Jour dream team on the cover of DNA this month... one of our favorites Alex Prinz appears in a spread by another fave, Dean Stockings! The boys sent me these thoughts about the experience, enjoy!

Dean Stockings: Alex Prinz and I had been aware of each others work from various publications and websites and contacted each other to see how we could work together on a project. Alex had limited time, and I was in the process of renovating a flat, so it was going to be difficult to fit a test shoot in. I then had the idea of actually combining the renovation with the shoot, and working with the mess that was around me at the time, rather than trying to disguise it! Alex had done a bit of decorating himself in the past, so I persuaded him it would be a good idea to give me a hand and do a shoot at the same time. I promised him a few beers and some decent shots in return and so we set a date later the following week.

As you can see, it was a very worthwhile project, and every shot was worthy of going to print. Once the beer started to take effect, Alex peeled off the decorating gear, and it soon turned into a really hot shoot. Once we had sent the images out to try and place them, we realised we were onto something good and had the pick of several magazines who wanted to publish them, but eventually placed them with DNA magazine, and you can see more of the set in issue 111, out now.

Alex Prinz: This was actually my first ever shoot with Dean, and one of my first ever to start my modelling career. Originally it was a test, but we quickly realised that we clicked, and were going to produce some great stuff. We shot it in the summer of 2008 in Dean's house on the south coast of England. First thing with Dean, get the kettle on, shortly followed by music, a brief of what we are trying to create, and then we get down to work. Its really that easy, and it works. Two sessions, two covers (DNA & reFRESH)- I say no more, the man is talented behind the lenses! Dean was renovating at the time of this shoot, so I thought I'd give him a hand, and that became the story of the pictures.

Dean promises that once their hectic schedules clear up a bit, you can expect to see more from this dynamic duo! I know we can't wait!
