Kobey Pinnell: Bondi Beach bodybuilder is into shoes, but is he also into dudes?

 I'm following Daniel Bos, the probably gay Aussie bodybuilder who appeared as one of the Brothers Ferox on Spartacus: House of Asher.  He hooked me up with Aussie muscleman Kobey Pinnell.

I don't usually give the full names of non-actors, but  Kobey has 34,000 followers on Instagram and 18,000 on TikTok, so he'll probably be ok with the 1,000 or so pageviews that this profile will get.

Not much biographical information. Kobey grew up in Blacktown, a suburb of Sydney, where he was on the Skid Scooter Team and competed in the Paralympics.

He attended Patrician Brothers College, a Catholic boys' high school, graduating in 2022.

 His social media doesn't reveal a lot about what he's been doing since high school.  He displays his physique and shows off his clothes. 

Especially his shoes.  Dud has a separate shoe room in his house. 

Other than clothes and his physique, Kobey posts photos of Sydney sights, meals, and male friends.  No women, except when an older couple, maybe his parents, take him to Egypt.

We all know what happens at Bondi Beach.

Leon Mallett:Checking the East Anglia Boy's n*de photos first, researching his potential gayness and celebrity status later

 

Link to the n*de photos

I don't usually start researching based on some adult videos, but this guy has it all: cute face, nice physique, impressive beneath the belt gifts, in a series of very clear photos posted on several celebrity sites.  I'm just worried that he's not an actor, so I won't be able to profile him.

So I'll check the IMDB last.  First up: his social media, to see if he's gay. 

Tagline: Singer/Songwriter.  He could be an actor, too.  I'm continuing the research.

An East Anglia boy, from Norwich, about 2 1/2 hours east of London.  

Lots of beefcake shots and guy-hugging photos, no girl-hugging -- a good sign.

Wait -- in one photo, he's grabbing the "big couple of palavas" on Katie Price.  An interest in palavas is generally a sign of  male heterosexual identity.

But Katie Price is an actress, model, and public figure who performs at a lot of Pride events, and came out as a lesbian in 2025.  Maybe he's just being playful.

But Leon's sweater says "Alright, my darlin'?"  That's something you would say to a girl.

Ok, I'm ready to check the shirt-lifter's IMDB profile.

Leon Mallett, aka Leon James, was born in 1995 in East Anglia.  In 2014, he auditioned for The X Factor, the British talent showcase, as a member of the boy band Fifth Street, but didn't make it.

He and his brother Alex auditioned as a duo in 2017.  Alex was cut during Boot Camp (the first challenge), but Leon made it through the Six Chair Challenge, Judges' Houses, Week 1, and Week 2, whereupon he was eliminated. 

He returned as a special guest on The X-Factor: Celebrity (2019).

And he appeared as himself in the documentary When Celebrity Goes Horribly Wrong 2 (2020), about celebrity fails: Calum Best accused of assault; Nick Ferrari making r*cist comments; Chloe Goodman in  a feud with her sister.

No information on what Leon's scandal was. 

Next, I'll check his songs for gay hints.

In "East Anglia Boy" (2014), Leon praises his home province: the sights, the food, the shopping.  He meets a girl who likes his accent, but not his clothes. Sounds heterosexist. But it's a  parody "American Boy" by Estelle, where she meets a boy, so he would have to meet a girl.

"One Girl in a Million" (2014) sounds extremely heterosexist, but it was actually written by Leon's father.  Leon found it in the attic after his death, and recorded it as a tribute.

Leon's backside is on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.
