Actor Colin Egglesfield shares the NSFW tip that – Latest News
Model poised for new roles
Colin Egglesfield. The title’s great — as fairly as he’s. He’s a male model.
Colin: “I used to be dorky and nerdy growing up. Skinny. Braces. Around age 26, I grew six inches. In school I heard about this expertise search. After my waitering job, I went and I acquired hooked up with an agent. Calvin Klein noticed my photos, then had me do his underwear for eight years. Then Versace and Armani campaigns. After changing into an actor, I am going to premieres and designers ship me garments.
“I’ve even ruined an outfit. An enormous deal Cynthia Rowley fashion show. At Grand Central Terminal. Celebrities have been there. I used to be fitted with supertight leather-based pants. I might barely transfer in these leather-based issues, and the runway had steps main up to it.
“I ran up and I felt something pop. In front of everyone, lights shining, music’s playing, and major air conditioning’s in my crotch. I’d blown out the material halfway down my left leg. The whole thing’s open. I kept going, ‘cause what are you gonna do? Stop and, like, run off? At the end of the runway, in front of me is Kristin Davis from ‘Sex and the City.’ She looks at my pants, looks back up, and there’s this big smile on her face. I just kept going. One of the more embarrassing moments in my modeling career.”
So what do you do if you become old and never modeling anymore?
“Well, I’m acting now. I started on ‘All My Children.’ I played Erica Kane’s transplanted son for three years. I did ‘Rizzoli & Isles’ six years, and a movie with Kate Hudson called ‘Something Borrowed.’ I played her fiancé. I did a TV series with Jennifer Love Hewitt.”

“Doughnuts, chocolate-chip cookies, cheeseburgers, but in moderation. I’m a three-time cancer survivor. I’ve done research on diet and health and wellness. I keep to mostly protein, so chicken, beef, pork, fish. As minimally processed as possible, like mashed potatoes, green beans. Nuts, dark chocolate. If it’s more than five ingredients, I stay away.”
One male model advised me they’re handled like scum by the feminine fashions who look down on them.
“Not scum. More like props in a picture shoot of what they’re doing. Like I acquired paid $600 for the day, which is a respectable quantity for simply getting your image taken. Naomi Campbell made $25,000 for that day, and it was all about her. Women are the main focus as a result of they’re the shopper shopping for the merchandise. I might say we’re positively second price. I did a industrial with Gisele Bündchen for Victoria’s Secret. I might’ve been a fly on the wall ‘cause I walked in and everyone’s like, ‘Who are you?’
“It’s like, ‘OK, go over there. There’s water and some nuts there.’ Then Gisele walks in, and it was like the pope. Everyone jumped up, bowing and kissing the ring.”
So what’s an simple factor for these of us who’re non-models to do to grow to be higher wanting? Moisturize? Face-lift?
“Use a good SPF, drink lots of water. Really attractive is kindness. It’s deeper than outward superficial appearances. Drink water, eat healthy, do the gym. Move. Get that blood flowing. And plenty of sex can help.”
Scene stealers
Not all performers get big-time therapy. Are actors doing scenes with big-time star actresses handled in another way?
Kevin Bacon groused about not enough recognition for his work. When he did “Mystic River” years back, his co-stars Tim Robbins and Sean Penn have been up for Oscars. Him not. He even acquired taken off the poster. The studio threw weight in the direction they thought it’s going. He mentioned, “Taking me off the poster hurt. One day I opened the paper and it looked like I wasn’t even in the [bleeping] movie. They were amazing and I don’t begrudge them at all. But it hurt.”
Listen, not even stage actors all the time get their due. Once upon a time lived theater critic Clive Barnes. He realized the play he was reviewing was not distinguished. So, at intermission he ran up the crowded aisle for a cigarette. Once there, he remembered that he didn’t smoke.
Only in showbiz, children, solely in showbiz. Also, due to Johnny Oleksinski for his shout-out about me. I appreciated it.
