10 Things You Should Know about Dylan Koroll

1. At the age of 17, he won the grand prize for modeling at the World Championship of the Performing Arts, an annual competition for aspiring singers, actors, models, and so on.  It draws performers from 60 countries and gives out millions of dollars in scholarships as prizes.

2. He's currently rated #9 of the top 10 models, and #4 of the top male models, represented by the Sutherland Agency in Toronto.  I especially like their link "Click here for package."  It wasn't the package I was expecting, though.










3. In his day job, he runs a construction company in Calgary.  He has also studied motorcycle repair.

4. His biggest acting credit is a 5-episode run as Hardy Champ, the sister's boyfriend on Wynonna Earp, until she dumps him for a girl.  His tumblr states that he hates the character of Champ: "he wanted to do something with his life, but he failed, and now he's just given up."

5. He also had a guest spot as "Cool Guy" on Young Drunk Punk, a semi-autobiographical series about Bruce McCulloch (Kids in the Hall) growing up in Calgary in the 1980s.

6. In Gavin Crawford's Wild Wild West, a mockumentary in which Gavin Crawford plays six eccentric Calgary residents, one of his characters is a gay cattle rancher who wants to open a dude ranch with his husband.  Dylan plays someone named Damien.

7. He's gotten considerably inked of late, considerably reducing his attractiveness.  But his body, his rules.

8. Dylan's only other film credit is the short Heartland.  I found a copy on director Brian Paccione's website, but I don't know what it's about.  People dressed in circus sideshow costumes chase each other through woods.

9. Heartland is also the title of a short film about a gay man who returns from the City to the Heartland to help out his ailing dad and cruise the farmboys.

10. His facebook page has a photo of him posing with a woman and child with his last name, so he might not be gay. But another photo shows him in tandem with these two hunkoids, so you never know.

Four Questions about Prasad Romijn

Prasad Romijn is a professional model who starred as a boy saddled with a psycho girlfriend in the Ava Max music video.  That was his first acting role, and there is very little else about him on the internet.  I had to do some digging to answer these four important questions.

1. Is he the son of actress and model Rebecca Romijn?

No.  Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have twin daughters.

Besides, Rebecca grew up in Berkeley, California, and Prasad was born in Boulder, Colorado on September 10, 1998.  Here he's on the football team at Nevin Platt Middle School.

Romijn is a Dutch name, not very common in the U.S., so they may be distantl

Prasad got into modeling through his mother.  He moved to New York in 2017, shortly after he graduated from high school, and started racking up the fashion gigs.

The top photo, for instance, is from Teen Menswear Magazine.  I can't figure out what article of clothing he's supposed to be modeling.

2. Is he Hindu?  (Prasad is a Hindi name).

There's a Ty Romijn, no doubt a father or uncle, on the faculty of  Taoist Institute of Education Acupuncture in Louisville, Colorado, so Prasad has some  Eastern mysticism in his background.  But he seems to be more of a material girl.

He owns his own jewelry and clothing company called Nihmor (which I can't find online), and is "CEO of a PR and marketing company."

Plus he can hook you up with the "coolest homemade jewelry in Malibu."

Here he's got $250k of bling on his body, and is ready to "body y'all."

Urban Dictionary defines the verb "body" as "to murder."  I assume he's being metaphorical, as in "drop-dead gorgeous."

3. Does he have any nude photos?

None on his instagram, facebook, or twitter pages.  But with professional models, the beneath the belt gifts are not particularly relevant anyway.  You're supposed to be looking at the face and the bling.

4. Is he gay?

I couldn't find any references to boyfriends or girlfriends, or any references to gay people at all, but I've never heard a gay person talk like a 1990s rapper:

"Every other restaurant in New York sucks. Dig in at my homies restaurant."  (It's Baby Brasa, organic Peruvian rotisserie, owned by Peruvian celibrity chef Franco Noriega).


 

And here's a flier for his "aggressive" 20th birthday party: free food and wine, RSVP required.  Held at Esther and Carol's Restaurant in the Bowery, actually owned by Kevin King and Cordell Lochin, named after their mothers. Not a gay couple, not in a gay neighborhood.

Finally, dig this flier for the same party.  There's a mostly-naked girl in his lap (I had to crop the naked parts).

Definitely straight.

Albanian Beefcake

Who isn't interested in Albania?   A Balkan country where most of the population is Muslim, and the language is Indo-European but not related to any other Indo-European language, with two dialects that are mutually unintelligible, Gheg and Tosk.

Where the national hero is named Skanderbeg.

For a long time I thought it was "Skanderberg," and wondered why someone with a Germanic name was a hero in the Balkans.

Nearly 2,000,000 people have left Albania and Kosovo since 1997, moving to Turkey, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany. There are about 100,000 Albanians in the United States.

Finding Albanian beefcake isn't difficult.  Albanians in the diaspora have a strong sense of ethnic identity, and many have a strong presence on social media.

 Niko Papaj, an Albanian actor living in Los Angeles,  has appeared in Daytime Divas, Awkward, Bunheads, and How to Get Away with Murder. 

Bekim Trenova is a model, actor, and fitness expert.

Patrick Rukai, born in Albania in 1985, is a fashion model who appeared in a photo essay, Male Beauty.

Shqiprim Bruti models in Italy.

An anonymous Albanian hunk.

Who is Alex Cypriano?

Someone came to Tales of West Hollywood using the keywords "Alex Cypriano."  Quite a feat, since I never heard of him.  But I was curious -- actor?  Musician?  Sports person?

Nope -- personal trainer.  But a personal trainer who's very good at marketing himself.

New Now Next: "Meet Alex Cypriano, the hairiest man on the internet!"

He doesn't look hairy to me.  Maybe that's another one.

Alex Fit's Instagram has 440,000 followers.

His Facebook page has 1,500 likes

He's got 12,000 backers for his movie, ILYSM, which is about the "crazy lives" of the biggest personalities you know.  I've never heard of any of them.

He's published several e-books of his bulge and body, including a nude workout.

I finally found a brief bio on "All American Guys."  Grew up in Tampa, began weight training at age 16, won Teenage Mr. Tampa at age 19 (I have found no other records of this competition).  Now 21.

And hairy.
