Gilles Marini
If, like me, you’ve been totally glued to the TV to watch the American show “Dancing with the Stars” you’ll know who Gilles Marini is! He’s the hottie that went shirtless for the Tango! Oh my word … I’m still fanning myself three weeks later!
So, to get right down and dirty ...
Gilles was born on the 26th of January 1976 which makes him a delicious 36! Perfect alpha hero material!
We’ve been lucky enough to see a lot of Gilles in one of my other TV favourites – Brothers and Sisters. He plays the part of Luc Laurent – the scrumptious French boyfriend of Sarah Walker.
Not much acting required there let me tell you!
Firstly he’s yummy anyway and secondly that divine French accent is all naturel!
With a Greek mother and a French father there’s no limit to the good genes Gilles has been blessed with.
And who can forget Gilles as the handsome as sin, mostly nude, neighbour Samantha from “Sex in the City: The Movie” can’t stop drooling over! It’s no wonder she decided to cover herself in sushi! The poor woman was over-heating every time she got a glimpse of Dante!
So our man speaks French, Italian and English as well as the international language of love! :)
He loves playing sport which probably explains why he’s so ripped and why he’s doing so well in the physical Latin dances on “Dancing with the Stars”.
He was born in Grasse on the Cote d’Azur in France and helped out his Dad in their bakery from the age of eight!
After graduating from school Gilles joined the French army where he was stationed in Paris. He served in the famous French Fire Brigade or Brigade des Sapeurs Pompiers. Honey you can come put out my fire any day!
And as you would expect from a gorgeous man living in Paris – he was discovered by a photographer who introduced him to modelling. The next step – acting of course!
He’s also recently been appointed as a professional football player in the Hollywood United Football Club. Guess we just found another reason to keep watching out for those soccer hotties post world cup!
And guess what the research also found out … there’s a Gilles Marini calendar out there for 2010/2011!
Gilles is happily married and has two gorgeous kiddies. All in all one very delicious package if you ask me!
What do you think – hot or not?
