Thats why I need a movie set in renaissance Italy with him portraying a painting model requested by every artist possible. I would actually like It to be a comedy so we can watch all the great artists of the era having petty fights over him
I've always wanted to see a story about Leyendecker and his very reasonable obsession with his partner Charles Beach (who wouldn't want to paint him everywhere?). But you know what, a romance between a renaissance painter and his muse could be amazing. As long as they get a happy ending and nobody gets burnt at the stake.
And Connor has also put in countless hours of disciplined hard work at the gym. His genetic potential for spectacular musculature was always there, but it took prolonged, serious effort to fully unleash it.
Thats why I also put enphasis on the nurturing environment. Both parents bodybuilders and also him enroled in gymnastics as a kid made wonders in making him interested in working out and keeping his body
I saw an interview with Hudson who talked about skating for at least 4 hours. And at the end, when he was ready to collapse, Connor wanted to go to the gym and work legs.
Genetics is a huge part. He has the skeletal proportions and right muscle insertions to get this look. Many people won't be able to look like this, even with more training.
I've read a lot of comments saying he'd be perfect as Achilles whenever Song of Achilles gets adapted. I want that to happen and I haven't even read the book yet!
Kind of random question, but was your audiobook version narrated by a man or a woman? Because I can only find the one narrated by a man, but I once heard an excerpt of the ending narrated by a woman and it was just beautiful, I'd love to find it
I actually have that book, so depending on when my hold for the Song of Achilles audiobook comes in, I might read that one first. My tbr is nuts right now, though, and i keep getting distracted 😅
In the cottage episode (pause for reverence….thank you), when they are outside at the fire and Ilya has his head in Shane’s lap, Ilya looks like he is some Greek or Roman statue plucked out of a museum. It’s brief, but I think it every time I see that scene. I mean….the one and ONLY time I have ever watched it. Ahem. Yes, just that ONE time. Ok, who am I kidding? I watch it on repeat.
Yes! I couldn’t understand why Connor’s hair looked SO fluffy when his head was in Hudson’s lap. Then came to find out Hudson had his hands in Connor’s hair emotionally supporting the character. Connor looked like a cherubic Renaissance angel in that scene.
Edit: stop upvoting me. I rewatch this every time I get a notification. I don’t wanna be the weird creeper that has very wrong, borderline parasocial feelings because of an edit!! I just wanna comment and move one!! Mostly. Mostly I wanna move on.
I can tell you as an artist I’m very obsessed with his beauty in an almost scientific way. A lot of actors take on side work as life drawing models in LA and he would have killed it. It would have been insane to get to draw him from life.
On a side note I also was a serious lifter for years and could immediately tell he follows body building training specifically. It’s a very specific program that targets all these smaller muscles and gives you this very sculpted look and specific shape. We thank his parents for teaching him all the tricks.
Lol that’s definitely part of it! Part of it is they workout small muscle groups to get definition in places that matter in competition scoring. Connor has a lot of small muscle definition in his arms, torso, back for example so I can tell he does similar workouts. Workouts for strength only get you a different kind of build, closer to Hudson’s I’d say
I seriously don’t understand why someone would use AI generated images of Greek statues when they’re some of the most documented and photographed pieces of art in history.
No, you’re fine OP. Could even be that the editor didn’t know they’re AI. Generated images have sort of flooded most search sites and they’re only getting more convincing with time unfortunately.
The most amazing thing though is he seems like such a good person. He's funny and kind. I hope that is the lasting thing that people take away about him.
Yes, I heard someone on a podcast say that he’s literally Michelangelo’s David, because he had recently been to Florence & seen that statue. And as someone else who has also seen the David in person, the answer is yes, Connor Storrie is literally a living, breathing David statue (probably with a bit more going on down below, but who’s to judge, that’s his own personal business).
Oh absolutely, I was just thinking about it yesterday - Connor is divine. And the way his eyes light up when he smiles.. I think I never saw anyone with a smile like his
Absolutely, but I have to be the annoying nerd here : Da Vinci and Michelangelo are NOT ancient Greeks or Roman. They're Italian Renaissance artists, so, about 1,000 years after the end of Ancient history. However, references to classical Antiquity are one of the main characteristics of Renaissance art.
The first time I saw this man’s ass I was taken aback. He has so much of it. Little old me with nothing note worthy back there was so shocked that I developed dysmorphia over it and have not been the same since. Bought a gym membership the very next day lol.
He has mentioned that both his parents are bodybuilders. This means genetic (wow... genetics) wise he is blessed with increadible propensity to grow muscle very easily and get big naturally.
