There's no evidence that he posed for gay physique magazines like Physique Pictorial, but there are nude photos of a young Vince Edwards floating around the internet.
He's around 20 here, so it's about 1948, when Vince was studying at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts A classical Greek pose like you would see in physique magazines, but there was no full nudity in print at the time. This must have been a private photo shoot.
Older here, and bulked up, probably early 1950s, after he moved to Los Angeles.
Was he a member or hanger-on of the Hollywood gay scene?
The full post is on Boomer Beefcake and Bonding.
Of course, I can remember him. I can also remember comments being made that he might have been a switch hitter.
ReplyDelete'48 foto shows a foreskin.. makes sense in that he was born in 1928. the second from the 50's he has either skinned it back or got circumcised. By mid-century that was all the rage.
ReplyDeleteHe is uncut in both photos. Enormous full bush as well, which obscures his flaccid length but not his admirable thickness.
