Too Much D**k for Disney
Sorry, I know this story is almost 10 years old, but for some reason it passed me by when it first came out. Since it was revived on a Twitter thread this past weekend, and it's smack on subject for FH, I wanted to share. Maybe there's a few others like me, who missed how problematic actor Richard Madden's penis was for Disney.
The headline from MTv news sort of pops out at you, and involves Madden's turn as Prince Charming in Disney's 2015 life action adaptation of Cinderella. It seems Madden's bulge made some of the Disney's executives a little nervous, and they went to great lengths to ensure nothing specific, (size, shape or girth) was seen through the pair of white tights that Madden was wearing in one scene.
Madden discussed everything he and his genitals went through to hide his penis bulge on an episode of The Graham Norton show. You can check out the clip on Youtube HERE: It seems they went through several different jockstraps before deciding on a crotch corset that Madden shares was 'really, really' tight. So tight in fact, the tight squeeze made him feel sick.
I'm not exactly sure how I missed this back in 2015, but glad it's again making the rounds. Although Madden hasn't done any full frontal nude scenes, we have got a glimpse of what's under those tights, at least from the back anyway. From this story, maybe Madden should have played Theon instead of Rob on Game of Thrones....
The Bodyguard
Some Day My Prince Will Come
Speaking of Princes, and of things going around on Twitter, (yes, I'm still calling it that) there was a hot shot of a real Prince making the rounds as well. The shot was of Prince Philip of Sweden in the ocean, with this hand down the back of his shorts. The hot shot had me, and I'm guessing many others, Googling to see more of the pretty Prince.
Although Philip (The Duke of Värmland) maybe a Prince, it's pretty much unlikely he'll ever be the King. Although he is the only son of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, he like Prince Harry, is the second born child. As of 2022, Prince Carl Philip is fourth in the line of succession, after his older sister, Crown Princess Victoria, his niece and goddaughter Princess Estelle, and his nephew Prince Oscar.
Seems unfair his niece, nephew and Goddaughter are ahead of him, but that's how the Royal succession shortbread cookie melts in your mouth and crumbles. It did however, give me a great excuse to look for more shirtless shots of the sexy forth in line.
Immediately Comfortable: Dan by Implicit Ditto
'I was immediately comfortable and the clothes quickly came off.'
I've been featuring shoots from artists and models that I love for awhile now. I still maintain however, an avid curiosity about the process. Whenever I'm spotlighting a nude shoot, there's one question I always ask, and always wonder about. I'm always interested in finding out how comfortable the model was with taking off all of their clothes.
Most models share that once they're fully naked, and the shooting has commenced, the nerves disappear. For model Dan Callum this happened immedeately, even before his undies were slid off. Although Dan only began modeling last year, this wasn't his first nude shoot. His confidence however, wasn't so much about years of shooting nudes, but more about of his trust and confidence in Mike. (Implicit Ditto)
'I was immediately comfortable and the clothes quickly came off. It was great how I could easily see Mike's vision in his shots and it was all exactly what I felt I wanted to do too. This made things even more fun. Then we got to that shower and, well...I just couldn't contain myself.'
Mike first spotted Dan on Model Mayhem and was struck by Dan's expressive face, especially his eyes. Although Mike certainly noticed Dan's excellent physique, it was his face he found captivating and rich with feeling and emotion. Dan lives in Texas, and since Mike was heading to Dallas for the holidays, hoped to fit in a shoot or two while he was there. MM doesn't make connecting on their site very user friendly, so Mike found Dan's Instagram profile, and quickly got in touch.
Dan was very interested in shooting, but unfortunately, was also traveling over the holiday. Thankfully, they found a window in which their time in Dallas overlapped and their schedules were in sync. Prior to the shoot, they communicated a number of times, giving Mike the opportunity to share detailed information about himself and his shooting process. Mike also ensures that he's aware of any boundaries or restrictions a model might have, and o answer any questions ahead of the shoot. This helps to ensure the shoot runs smoothly and the model is as comfortable as possible.
'I feel as if Dan and I hit it off well from the get-go. It’s always a little awkward when you haven’t had an opportunity to meet who you’re working with face-to-face prior to shooting. You’re meeting them for the first time and both about to embark on something that can feel very intimate and somewhat intimidating for some people. But from the moment we met, I believe we were both really comfortable with one another. '
Although Mike shares that Dan was completely flexible, thing really came together creatively once I was able to find the location and share it with him. Both model and photographer got similar feel for what types of photos and the cozy lifestyle they could create there. Mike found the location on Peerspace. It's a tiny little cottage that a guy built on his property, in a setback area of town. There were a few other buildings on the property, including a larger house, that Mike hopes to use in the future.
'It was a little challenging because of neighbors and other occupants, so we couldn’t shoot outside, which I really would have enjoyed. Also, there was some limited lighting, so it constrained us a little bit, but we were able to work around it. And cozy is a good word to describe the space. It was quite small so I was constantly moving things around and cramming myself into what felt like yoga positions to try and get a good angle.'
'When I first saw the pics on our possible shoot location, I was excited. Good, rustic vibes with a promising-looking shower (who doesn't love a good shower scene). I was kind of bummed we couldn't do much fully outside stuff, but we made things work inside. I'm also a sucker for natural lighting and we luckily had a good amount of that to play with.'
I love the look of the cottage, and for me, exuded an immediate feeling of comfort. Some of my favorite shoots feature a visual harmony between model and location, something I certainly felt and saw in this series. Dan looks like he belongs in the cottage, adding a beautiful natural symbiosis which parallels the cottages rustic look and wooden walls. He looks right at home, helping to make his poses, and sensual shower, look genuine and not staged. It's as if Dan's simply going about his regular routine on a cozy winter day.
Dan seemed completely comfortable. He was very comfortable in his body and moved quite naturally, which made him easy to shoot. I believe he has recently started an OnlyFans account, so nudity was a non-issue. I must say that I have such respect for guys who are comfortable enough in their own skin to shoot nudes, yet retain a sense of humility. It says a lot about a person’s character.
Dan was open to my ideas and came up with some of his own, which is my favorite part of collaborating. I was thrilled with how the images turned out, and he was quite pleased with them too, which is the most important thing to me.
