Man Candy Day: T.J. Wilk

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Some weeks ago I posted on a nice picture by Bruce Weber for Abercrombie & Fitch catalogue: two very nice young men, naked, in a Lost Paradise setting... In a source I supposedly found the name of the two model, Tyler Lough and David Fair, and I posted about them (http://elisa-rolle.livejournal.com/502266.html). Problem was, while Tyler was quite recognizable, the supposed David was half hidden (for how much a naked man could be hidden...), and in fact someone commented to say that he was not David Fair, but T.J. Wilk. Your Elisa, made a thoroughly "research" (oh yes, sometime mine is an hard work) and found a quite strong proof to grant the identity to T.J. Wilk:

Proof 1: shot by Bruce Weber



Proof 2: shot by Tony Duran



there are some "lines" that are quite unmistakable...

Terry “T.J.” Wilk, born in 1979 in Cleveland, Ohio, is an American model, actor, musician and champion diver. 6' 1" tall Wilk has appeared on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency on the Oxygen Network, having been selected as a model by Janice Dickinson because of his well-proportioned body. Janice Dickinson picked TJ when he was just a nanny. He has been working as nanny for almost three years. Even to this day, he is still a nanny to three little girls and lives in the guest house on the family's property in Beverly Hills, while pursuing his dream as a model and actor.

Wilk has graced the pages of DNA Magazine (20-page cover layout was devoted to him), and was featured in the November issue of Ocean Drive Magazine, photos taken by world famous photographer Tony Duran. He also shot for Abercrombie & Fitch with Bruce Weber and for Thom Fleming. Wilk has also done numerous runway and editorial campaigns including 2(x)ist, Diesel Jeans, and most recently strutted the runway for Tommy Hilfiger charity, "Race to Erase MS."

Wilk is also a champion diver, placing 17th in the nation for 3 meter springboard diving. Wilk enjoys playing drums, reading biographies of famous entertainers, modeling and being around children. He's been behind the drums for more than 25 years playing mostly jazz, rap and rock. He listens to Paul Hardcastle, Four Play, Van Halen, Rush, Dream Theatre, Guns N Roses, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and Snoop Dogg.

His friends described him as loyal, honest and goofy. "I'm very animated and not afraid of making a complete *ss of myself," TJ has said.

it's so great that he's still a nanny! I mean, I'm pretty sure that most model/actors don't have "active nanny" as part of their resume. :P

Well, is something particular about him, isn't it? At least he is unusual and so, in a way, more interesting than a lot of other models/actors. Elisa

NO WAY! A nanny from Cleveland, Ohio? Did he go to the English Nanny & Governess School in nearby Chagrin Falls? They were just taking in their first male student the year after I graduated. Oh, now I gotta see if I can figure it out.

This I absolutely don't know, but the coincedence is very strange. For what I understand, he works for a very "up-class" family, so probably they didn't hire a simple "babysitter". If there is a specific school, it's possible that he attended it. Elisa

Wow, uh, I have to say if he was my nanny, I'd have trouble not being a cliched client. :laughs: Really beautiful first thing in the morning.

They are three very lucky little girls ;-) Elisa

Oh man, the sacrifices you make on our behalf! What can we do but thank you? It's hard work and an awful job, isn't it?

LOL

well, someone has to do it, can't let that a fine bum like the one of T.J. was attribuited to another man, can I? Elisa
