Yani Xander: Headless ghost, Speechless body double, Telugu cop, short guy visits 12 countries with his boyfriend, shows his tree trunk

  

Link to the n*de photos

When I was researching the beefcake on the British Ghosts, I found Yani Xander listed as Headless Humphrey, a Tudor nobleman who was accidentally beheaded, so his head keeps falling off his body.  Except Humphrey's head is played by Laurence Rickard (who also plays Robin the Caveman).  You never seen Yani, because at 5'3", he is inside the Humphrey's body. 

5'3"?  Sign me up.

He was born in 1997 in Burgos, Bulgaria, a resort town on the Black Sea about 4 hours from Sofia, which gives me an excuse to dip into my photos of n*de Bulgarian guys.  

After graduating from secondary school, Yani moved to London to study at the City Academy ((2017) and Anthony Meindl's Actors Workshop (2018).  He started getting roles in short films, like A Different League (2017), Alice and Jack (2017), and Refugee Point (2018).

Hey You (2019), only about five minutes long, has gay interest:  (Noel Samuels, Dmitri Spodobaev, left) are arranging a hookup. Yani plays a third guy.

In 2019, Yani starred a starring role in the Telugu series Erra Gulabhila Govindu.  He plays a cop.  Wait, Telugu, the Dravidian language spoken in South India?  What's Yani doing there?    What's he doing in southern India?  And learning Telugu?

Next came three episodes of Alex Rider (2020), featuring a teenage James Bond (Otto Farant), his goofy best friend (Brennock O'Connor), and the Girl of His Dreams.  Yani plays the son of a Russian baddie. 

And two episode of Dangerous (2020), a "bland and cliched" Bollywood crime series.  So you're still in India, but learning Hindi, not Telugu

And 21 episodes of Ghosts (2019-23).

Also Yani acted as the acted as the stand in for J.J. Dimeo (Micah Fowler) when the Speechless gang went to London, and a body double for Joshua McGuire (left) in Cheaters,  Yes, he showed his backside.

His most recent work is the British-Indian sci-fi movie IRaH (2024), a weird spelling because it's an app devoped by Hari Singh (Rohit Roy).  It falls into the wrong hands, and chaos ensues. Yani's character does not appear in the plot synopsis.

What else has he been up to?

A lot of traveling!

 Bali

Japan

Abu Dhabi

Cambodia

Egypt

Greece

Robert Aramayo: A gay psycho, a queerbaiting Elf, conversion therapy, Tourette's Syndrome, and a lot of n*de scenes. With the biggest d*cks in Europe

Alfie Williams posted a photo with Robert Aramayo, who won twice at the 2026 BAFTA awards.  I never heard of him, but Alfie always buddies up to gay guys or guys who have played prominent gay roles, so it's time to do some research.

A promising start: Aramayo is n*ked a lot, with countless backside shots and at least one on-screen d*ck.  

He was born in 1992 in Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire.  He is of English and Basque ancestry, giving me an opportunity to write about the Basque language.

Basque, spoken in northeastern Spain and southeastern France,  is not related to any other language on the face of the Earth.  It is the original language of the people who occupied the Iberian Peninsula, so old that some of its words come from the Stone Age:

Knife is labana, stone-that-cuts.  Roof is teilatu, top-of-the-cave

I find that fascinating.  Who wouldn't find that fascinating?

Ok, how about this: The Basque word for man is gizon, which is similar to the phrase big p*nis (giz lun) in ancient Sumerian.  And the p*nises of Basque men are among the biggest in the world, topping the already-impressive 13.5 cm average of the rest of Spain.  Did the Sumerians know something? 

Back to Aramayo: he performed in youth theater throughout his childhood, and received a BFA from the Julliard School in 2015.

Question 1: Any gay roles?

He started his on-screen career playing straight characters in Harley and the Davidsons (2016), and Game of Thrones (2016-2017).  

I figured that Galveston (2018) would be about Piers Galveston (1284-1312), the boyfriend of the future King Edward II, but it's about the city in Texas:  A dying hitman (Ben Foster) is returning to his hometown to meet the Girl of His Dreams.

In Stray Dolls (2020),  Indian immigrant Riz works in a hotel where she meets Dallas (Robert).  They plan a robbery together.  He shows his backside, but it's still heteronormative af.

How about Behind Her Eyes (2021), a psychological horror movie about a three-way love triangle? Louise falls in love with her boss, David (Tom Bateman) and befriends his wife.  Uh-oh. Robert plays her friend from the mental hospital.  He notes that he "prefers c*cks," and brags that he hooked up with one of the male nurses   In a Big Reveal ending, we discover that he switched bodies with the wife so he could get with David.  

That sounds a bit homophobic, promoting the idea that gay men are really trans women.

"Ghosts" tv: Does the American or British version have the hottest guys? The most d*ck pics? The best gay representation?

 

Link to the d*ck pics

We've been watching the American version of Ghosts (2021-26),  about a husband and wife who inherit a mansion haunted by a disparate group of nonliving people who got stuck on the way to the afterlife.  While waiting for new episodes, we started on the original British Ghosts (2019-23).  The differences are striking.  The British version is louder and darker, the ghosts are annoying rather than endearing, and, at least in the episodes we've seen to date, more antagonists than friends.  But both versions have ample beefcake, some actors who have appeared n*de, on screen or off, and some gay representation.  Let's compare:

In the American version, the husband is Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), an aspiring chef and D&D player. In the British, it's  Mike (Kiell Smith-Bynoe).  His interests haven't been established yet.

Hotness winner: Kiell has a d*ck pic (on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends), but Jay is cuter.

The oldest of the ghosts are Thorfin (Devan Chandler Long), a Viking who was abandoned by his shipmates and killed by a bolt of lighting around 1000 AD; and Robin (Laurence Rickard), killed at an unspecified time, but during the Neolithic era, around 3000 BC

Hotness winner: Devan

In the American version, the next oldest is Sassappis (Roman Zaragosa), a Lenape storyteller who died in 1513 without a girlfriend. The others tease him for this, until he meets someone in  Season 3.

Roman is gay.

I don't find an exact parallel, but maybe Thomas Thorne (Mathew Baynton), a bad poet from the Regency era who died in a duel in 1824.  He keeps falling in love with every woman he sees.

Hotness winner: Mathew gave us some n*de scenes, but you can't beat Roman's physique.

12 Forgotten Beefcake Boys of the 1980s

When I was living in West Hollywood during the 1980s, we didn't go to movies much, due to the rampant homophobia. Nearly every movie featured a discussion of how much the main characters hated gay people.  In Teen Wolf, Michael J. Fox protests that he's not a "f__."  In American Werewolf in London, David Naughton calls Prince Charles "a f__"  In Breakfast Club, Judd Nelson writes a warning on his school locker: "Keep out, f___"

But in spite of the homophobia, there was a lot of beefcake.  Men took off their shirts regularly, in frat houses, swimming pools, locker rooms, on wilderness treks.  Some famous, others obscure.  Here are 10 forgotten beefcake boys, actors who surprised us by displaying impressive physiques in one or two movies, and and then vanished.

Or at least never took off their clothes again.

1. Anthony Edwards stripped down to his rather impressive underwear by customs agents in Gotcha (1985).  He went on to teen s*x comedies and eight seasons of ER, but never showed his impressive equipment on screen again.

2. Dan Shor talking to his dad n*de in Strange Behavior (1981).   The backside that "sealed his popularity" in West Hollywood never appeared again, but we got a nice view of his front in Tron (1982).

3, Ilan Mitchell-Smith buddy-bonding in a cut-off t-shirt and blue shorts in underwear in Weird Science (1985).  He retired from acting and became a history professor. Also starring a semi-n*de Michael Anthony Hall and a bare-backside Bill Paxton.

4. Tim Curry lookalike Kevin van Hentenryck runs down the street n*de in Basket Cases (1982).  It's a long shot in the dark, but you can definitely see the bouncing.  There are two more Basket Case movies, but no more Kevin c*cks.

5. Don Michael Paul (left) took his shirt off in  The Brotherhood of Justice (1986) and Aloha Summer (1988) before settling down to a fully-clothed career in writing and directing.  He specialized in horror movies.

6. Nick Corri was  killed while n*ked in Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) and went Full Monty in a locker room in Wildcats (1986).  He changed his name to Jsu Garcia and became a spiritual teacher.
