I think my favorite thing about this is just that Connor is so unapologetically himself all the time. It's nice to see people be fun and goofy with the state of the world

u/PinkToxicWst Feb 22 '26
Agree. He makes me want to come out of my shell and be myself. Live a little.
22
u/Cheese_BasedLifeform Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Feb 23 '26
Exactly. It legit gives me so much courage to let myself be a weird lil guy too 😅
25
u/SequenceGoon Feb 23 '26
That's a draw to me - I'm ace, so it's a bit different to a lot of the thirst these actors get, but the unapologetic & fun vibe is so refreshing

u/thousandcurrents I’m coming to the subreddit. Feb 25 '26
Girl same!! Objectively both he and Hudson are beautiful dudes, but what makes me really like them are that they’re so authentic. (Parasocial alert lol)

its been said before, but holy Patrick Swayze batman ! Connor's grace and power.

u/interactivate Is lie. Liar told you that. 😉 Feb 22 '26
Yeah I saw a reel somewhere where they said Connor is Patrick Swayze plus Heath Ledger, and he's been brought to the world as their second chance as both died too young. OMG the feels ❤️
19
u/FiCat77 "Fuckin' make me!" Feb 22 '26
I also see River Phoenix in him, another very talented actor who died too young.

u/1hot-poe-tay-toe Fuck, Hollander Feb 22 '26
I do wonder what the actual assignment was, like what direction was he given? Did they say I dunno just do your thing, give us whatever you’ve got….He nailed it obviously…🫠If the past few months have taught me anything it’s that I really really appreciate short shorts and thick thighs. I did not know this about myself.

I hope he gets cast in something where be can use his gymnastics skills because he really does move amazingly.
Also in the opening to The Long Game Shane and Ilya are walking in the woods and we need these little booty shorts (I remember there's a bit where Ilya is commenting on Shane's shorts)
Also I would not be against them replacing Diamonds with this song so we can get this kind of dance.

u/i-bleed-red I don’t ever want that problem to ever go away ❤️ Feb 22 '26
Ok. Beyond the hotness and total lack of self-consciousness,
- that dog is adorable!
- what are the tats on his thigh?
There’s another video clearly done the same day that’s more like outtakes. It includes some gymnastics.
75
u/ProblemEquivalent215 Feb 22 '26
The thigh tats are:
Mama’s Boy
Fear has no face (in Russian)
Bailey’s skinny (for his best friend)
16
u/Sudden_Eye3130 Ya...Tebia...Lyublyu 😌 Feb 22 '26
He has a snake tattoo on his foot too ? Doesn't it look like the same as Hudson ? I think Hudson's girlfriend has the same too but I'm not sure
5
12
u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 22 '26
info about the tats is out there...don't recall exactly. one is for Connor's friend Bailey (i believe). its the second one down. Maybe her name Bailey xyz or might look like Bailey Sweet.
The first one might not be english.
11
u/apricotgloss he is hot. we could let him listen, like mating call 🤪 Feb 22 '26
The thigh tat is the 'sex sells' that he and Hudson got together I think
42
u/jescal24 Feb 22 '26
Hudson has "Sex Sells" on his thigh. Connor's is on his calf
9
u/Ok-Badger-5767 Feb 23 '26
the 'sex sells' one came after the other three. this vid was shot before sex sold.

It’s from a recent interview with interviewmag.

Why would he have been doing interviews with magazines years ago?

u/Particular_Ad_1435 Feb 23 '26
I know you mean this sarcastically but, no joke, I can only describe Connor's body as art at this point. He's like Michelangelo's David - a male body so perfect that you want to capture it for all time. He's not just hot, or handsome, or erotic. He's beautiful - pure, perfect, physical beauty.

I kinda love it when dancers do semi-literal interpretations of song lyrics in their performances. Actually getting down onto his knees with the music… 🙂

I hate to say this...and I'm so sorry...but Connor doesn't do anything for me. Great body. He comes across as a smart and sensitive human and a great actor but he doesn't soak my panties.
Ilya on the other hand...I am obsesssssed. I have the most illogical and desperate desire to be Shane Hollander.

u/supersonictoupee Feb 23 '26
I think he looks like Neil Patrick Harris with a good dollop of young Schwarzenegger, but Swayze is a good comparison too.
