mindlessmunkey's spunk o'the munth

***RUDE BITS ALERT***
DON'T SCROLL DOWN IF YOUR GRANNY IS STANDING BEHIND YOU
(unless she's a saucy bitch, in which case go ahead)

Yes, dear readers, it's time again for munkey's blog to indulge in some perving and soft porn. And I'm very pleased to announce that the hot piece of man meat for this "month" is acclaimed French actor: Stéphane Rideau:

Born in 1976, Stéphane shot to the attention of the International-Cinema world at the age of just 17 in his feature debut, Wild Reeds. This tender and beautiful coming of age story co-starred his friend and future-director Gaël Morel, and saw him first tackling issues of confused sexuality, a topic he would fearlessly confront in many roles of his career. Here is Stéphane about to dunk his buddy Gaël in a river in Wild Reeds:

Despite being heterosexual, he has often played gay or bisexual characters openly, and even explicitly. Perhaps most noteworthy in the spunk-stakes is his oft-tackle-out performance in Come Undone (aka Almost Nothing). Here he is with his naughty-bits showing in a promo shot for Come Undone, by famous queer photographers Pierre et Gilles:

And here he is napping in the nuddie with his lovely co-star Jérémie Elkaïm:

Although Rideau is straight, it is rumoured director Sébastien Lifshitz insisted the actors have sex together before filming commenced, so they would be comfortable and realistic in their love scenes. Here is a picture of Stéphane pretending to get his brains fucked-out by Jérémie:

(Now personally I think the boys needed some more practice. This may be a queer-perspective overshare, but frankly it's quite clear that nothing's really happening there - the pelvic angles aren't at all right, as far as I'm concerned. But oh well, I suppose that's neither here nor there... it's still pretty hot.)

In recent times - though always being a vocal advocate of equal rights for the gay community - Rideau has moved away from queer roles. Perhaps this is due to his not wanting to be typecast. Or perhaps it's because he is now - at the ripe old age of 29 - happily married with a daughter. Awww.

Anyway, Stéphane is a great actor who has brought realism, grit and emotional depth to many roles. He's also damn hot. Thankyou for indulging me in my perve-fest.
