Must Blow 49: Andrew Wolff.

.

Love me or leave me. These seem to be the only choices that today's Must Blow hunk Andrew Wolff gave the audience when he suddenly splashed into the Philippine social scene in 2005. And how his career turned up provides the answer to that dare.

.

Andrew started his career in the Philippines as a ramp and commercial model. Writing that sentence now seemed unnecessary and tautological. The photos I pasted on this entry seem to say it all. The face. The body. What else could he be but a commercial model?

.

Reviewing the products that he came to endorse, it is quite clear that it is the boyishness, innocence and boy-next-door aura and looks that have attracted Andrew to the advertisers and the consuming public. He achieved instant success and quite the "It" boy status to rival fellow model Brent Javier during the era.

.

But Andrew had other fancies. Success, as easily as it came to him, got over his head. Modelling was not enough and he ventured to become an actor. He pumped up his physique (Maybe he wanted to be a sexy actor and nothing else), created controversy around him and began dating trashy women. He was asking the public to notice him, and it sort of got out of hand.

.

That is the same reason why although I greatly admire Andrew's looks (He had me without having to say "hello".) it took me some time before I finally got myself to feature him in this blog. Do I really like this guy, I had to ask myself. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

.

I mean, any guy who dates or associates with Ethel Booba, you had to question his motives, his character, his intelligence. What is this guy about? Is he for real? He seems to be able to get any girl, so why Booba? Or just simply, what is wrong with this guy?

.

I think the quandary was not mine alone. The moment Andrew appeared on talk shows defending that he did not sleep with Booba or that he did not sponge off her measly riches, it was a total turn-off for all girls. When one looks up to or fantasizes a guy as a potential boyfriend, the cock is not all. You imbue him with intelligence, wit, character, wisdom and class. And when Andrew made public ---even in the form of denial--- his relations with Booba, all that was gone. It was not just a balloon bursting, it was a nuclear detonation of collective fantasies.

.

And so even before Andrew's acting career began, even his modelling gigs started to wane. Project by project, they went away. Soon after, Andrew had to leave the country. There was no career here that should hold him.

.

But I read in the papers that he is back. He is prepared to tone down his vices, pride and outrageousness and give acting a second chance.

.

But that is not the real question. The question is whether the public will still take him back.

.

Love him or leave him?

.

Blow him. Then leave. He isn't worth all the trouble.

Read a piece of bad news when I opened yahoo. Talented actor Heath Ledger passed away today. Attendants in the apartment building in Manhattan where he has taken residence found him lying naked on the floor, dead cold and with a scatter of prescription sleeping pills nearby. Whether drug overdose is the cause of death and whether it is accidental or intentional have not been made clear. .

Heath was only 28 years young.

His first Hollywood break came in 10 Things I Hate About You, a teen comedy take of a Shakepeare play. He established himself as a serious actor in a little role in Monster's Ball and joined the A-list with an Oscar nomination in the neo-classic Brokeback Mountain. His last film, Dark Night, is set to be released this year. In this latest Batman tale, Ledger plays the role of The Joker.

.I bought a back issue of Genre yesterday. I don't really follow this magazine but I was easily convinced to purchase a copy upon seeing the cover model.

On the same day, I found out that his name is Tyler Lough. I googled him today and this is one of the photos I found. Sexy, isn't he?

.

This morning, I took photos of his magazine spread using my K800i. Since I already committed myself to today's blog entry, gushing about Tyler will have to be delayed. I will upload them soon in this blog.
