Favorite Import of the Day: Jonas Smulders

The Amsterdam nude calendar is not only a homage to the naked body and sensuality, but also to the city of Amsterdam and everything that it represents.

FH readers know I love me a naked calendar, and the many men who take it all off for charity.  The Amsterdamse Naaktkalender (The Amsterdam Naked Calendar) has been around for awhile, but it was just last week that I saw images from the project.

The goal of the calendar project is to remove the taboos that revolve around the naked body and to show that sensuality and eroticism can be displayed in many different ways. In the calendar we see a diverse range of models who are portrayed in an intimate and raw way in places that are typical for Amsterdam; on the ferry, in the Vondelpark or at the canals.  Although the calendar appears to primarily women, as you can see from the images below, the occasional man gets a month to show off now and then.

27 year old Dutch actor Jonas Smulders appeared in the 2020 calendar, and was a large part of why the calendar quickly sold out. Joas made is acting debut at 16. Jonas was named one of the "Shooting Stars" at the Berlin Film Festival in 2018. As you can tell from the clip of one of the actors roles below... he's had some experience being naked in front of the camera.
