Good Morning, Gratuitous Spencer Boldman


I doubt I'll get around to doing one of these posts for every single one of the strippers on the Welcome to Chippendales show (see also here) -- we will have to move on at some point! But I had to do this one as an apology to actor Spencer Boldman -- he played the perfectly named "Lance" on that show who became the lead dancer thanks to Murray Bartlett's character's obsession with him and I just did not get it. I was the doubting Kumail Nanjiani! It's true. But dude looked different on the series...

... than he does in real life. Not just in the Rocky Horror rip-off dance -- that 80s mullet hair was really getting in my way. I couldn't see the trees for the mullet! But then yesterday I saw Spencer photographed and interviewed as his own hot self for my old friend Schön! magazine and the clouds parted... well really what parted was his shirt collar to reveal that dude is hairy in real life.

And we all know the magic that works. I could see the forest for the trees now -- the forest of thick, lustrous chest hair that is. I'm sold! That said Spencer has been around for awhile (I guess he was in the first 21 Jump Street movie but I'll be damned if I remember anything about the first or the second 21 Jump Street movies) and before this new shoot for Schön! he seems to have been a long-time advocate of shaving his true glory, so most of what you'll see below (mostly stolen off his Insta) is of the waxed-down variety. It's okay! I can see past that now. (As long as he promises to keep the fur from now on!) Hit the jump for a big ol' batch of photos...
