Eye Candy :: 'Teenage Dream' Josh Kloss
Michael Swartz READ TIME: 4 MIN.
Most recently seen getting hot and sweaty alongside Kim Kardashian in her Skechers commercial during the Super Bowl, 29-year-old Josh Kloss, isn't just a pretty face.
His pretty face has been seen before, however, in Katy Perry's megahit music video for "Teenage Dream."
Aside from taking off his shirt, for which he is most famous, he admits that he had a hard childhood where he was "put to work [as a cowboy] at a young age.
"Being the down-to-earth guy he is, he has also talked about how one of his "favorite pastimes is camping with friends and family."
He spoke to People magazine more intimately about his life outside of his acting and modeling careers; he studied vocal performance in college, which led him to Hollywood to be in a band, mentioning that he "love[s] to sing and listen to old school jazz artists like Chet Baker."
As far as his workout routine, he's spoken about how he doesn't really have a workout schedule, but fits it in where he can adding that he "tries to eat wise proportions, and when I do work out, I train like it's the last time I'll get a chance!"
First seen in "The O.C." as Chip Saunders, sidekick to Luke Ward, Kloss wasn't able to show off his acting, or his body to full extent, appearing in a mere five episodes only from the first season.
Thankfully his next appearance featured Kloss showing off his work-of-art body in bed with Katy Perry. No complaints from anyone who has seen the video.
The video has seen over 52 million hits on YouTube, and I would be willing to bet that not all of them were focused on Perry's singing.
Originally from Portland, Oregon, he is now a Pinkerton Model looking to do more work as an actor/ model.
He released in his Pony Ryder interview that his next few modeling "gigs" will be for Christian Lacroix, Impetus Underwear, L'Bel and Velez.
We look forward to seeing a less clothed Kloss on the big screen in the near future.
For now we will just keep looking at his modeling ads.
