Nude Photos of Christopher Atkins

Christopher Atkins (1961-) is probably the first teen idol to go full frontal on the big screen.  Several times.


















Here he shows off in his iconic but immensely heterosexist Blue Lagoon (1980).

  1. The last photo looks to be William Katt (Greatest American Hero) not Atkins.

    1. It does look like William Katt, but I don't think Katt ever appeared naked on film. It's probably a less well-known actor in a 1970s movie.

    2. William did some nudity, but not full frontal. That's not him.

    3. I 'think' that is Ron Yarborough. He did a nude centerfold for Playgirl back in the 70's. He showed up in a lot of later Playgirl collections, and on the internet.

    4. It is presumably Brian Krause, who appeared nude this way in the opening scene to The Return to the Blue Lagoon. But the opening scene isn't nearly as clear and close-up as this photo, which might be fake.

  2. I can't beleive it! I've been looking for this pictures a long time ago and now finally find them! Cool! And the guy in the last picture it's him. William Kat never did a film where he appears nude and if you look carefully, the boat it's the same one at the end of the film.

  3. Atkins had only like, four nude scenes in Blue Lagoon: A couple swimming scenes, the masturbation scene, and the love montage (which I'm counting as one scene). Even that nude photo, I think that's a promo shot. He's never nude on the suicide boat.

    He always struck me as small. Still cute, back in the 80s, but the first time I saw him naked, I thought he was small.

    Then again, not many guys would have the balls to appear naked in their first movie.

    1. I've seen it in real life. Average sized.

    2. Keep in mind that mine's on the big side, so I may be biased.

  4. I think the last photo might be a recreation he did from later years. He looks older and the perm/cut is different

  5. The second one appears to be photo-shopped but the rest are great. I've been a fan for years.

  6. So wonderful in his attitude to nudity with a body so worth showing; sadly the current era is so funny about these matters - except in Europe, of course!

  7. The first photo is from Dallas, season 7
    The last one is of Ron Yarborough in Playgirl

  8. He still looks good and of course the director of "The Blue Lagoon" is gay

    1. In the 90s it was on TBS all the time, up there with Beastmaster. If you were a 90s kid, those were two gay tests we had.

      The nudity was edited out, of course. As was the masturbation scene. This isn't Bravo or some premium channel. Though I did see a peen shot for All the Right Moves on TBS once.

    2. I recently watched it and all the scenes were in it nudity and maturation scenes were there

  9. Oh, Steven Universe did a Blue Lagoon parody in the second season. Considering Steven was all "When did you stop being a couple? Why are you with them?" and then climbs in top of the fourth wall "Why didn't I know about all of this?" in the epilogue, yeah that might be a callback to the heterosexism in the movie. Probably not tho.

  10. This is not Christopher Atkins the models name is Joseph Pearson and appeared in the February 1977 issue of Playgirl (special Valentines issue) which I still own and his spread has lived rent free in my memories of my gay awakening for the past 40 yrs. I would attach the photos of his spread if I could but unfortunately I cannot.

    1. I apologize. I'll take it down, but which one are you referring to?
