When we think of the word "celebrity", images of emaciated scantily clad women generally cross our mind, individuals whose largest accomplishment to date was managing to drag themselves out of bed after a night of partying.

You can try to read his answers to my questions below, but I’m willing to bet hard money you’ll get a little uh… distracted when you see his picture. Am I the only one who sees an uncanny resemblance to Ryan Gosling? Talk about warm bodies. READ MORE
