Marcus Schenkenberg, no longer 'Le Face'

Who?

Um...

Why do all Swedish men have gayface?

Beautiful man in his day, but pretty much forgotten now.

He's the one that likes to be pegged with a strap on, right?

Former God.

Oh yeah, he is the one who is on record for getting fucked with a strap on!

Gianni got a piece of this..

I was so into him

Father Time marches on...and waits for no one.

Time, tide and trolley wait for no man. Let her go, motorman.

Like so many other men Marcus Schenkenberg was a very attractive young man, but he's 52 and looks about that age. He's had some face/eye work done and maybe lip injections which makes him look like an aging trannie or something.

While back in 1980's or 1990's guys with rocking bodies and attractive faces while not uncommon, weren't exactly rare either. Fast forward to today and there are tons of them all over Instagram or whatever all claiming to be "male models".

Here is a reference to Pamela Anderson using a strap on on him.

Marcus Schenkenberg should have gone to an acting school, that seems clear....

Fabio was/is much hotter.

Does he have “an” Onlyfans?

R15

Am assuming your eye doctor's office has been closed past several months due to covid-19 restrictions. But there are other options and encourage you to seek them out, quickly...

Yes, Fabio was something back in the day but he's long past his sell by date now.

It is clearly time for "Fabio" to let go of what remains of that long hair and get some sort of age appropriate hair cut. That stringy thin hot mess isn't fooling anyone. Worse because his hairline and crown are thinning extensions aren't really an answer either.

Other thing is that long thin hair ages his face dramatically. His is a long face (and nose) as it is, and that hair just draws attention to features instead of balancing things out.

Fabio could still get it. Markus,not so much. I wouldnt have recognized him if not for this thread. he was so fucking hot ,but then,werent we all better looking 30 years ago?

Michael Bergin for the win!

Is Fabio gay?

R20 Micheal Bergin looks more like Robert Downey Jr. in that picture than himself.

Marcus Schenkenberg was so attractive back in the day. Aging is such a bitch for both men and women! But, fillers, Botox, and bad plastic surgery make it far worse.

R21

The world may never know.....

Fabio claims to have lost love of his life when younger, and apparently that woman put it on him so badly none other has measured up since.He's had "affairs", but nothing moved him as intensely.....

However in a 2013 interview Fabio claims he is ready to try again and looking for the right woman to settle down with, blah, blah, blah.

Methinks Fabio is like that other hot Italian model of late (the maths teacher) who like so many other men from that country just won't ever admit to God and the world they are gay. You can possibly throw Roberto Bolle on that list as well.

It is now 2020, the guy is 61 years old with no wife, no kids, and nothing seemingly on the horizon.

Memories.

Fabio looks like Kaitlyn.

Fabio was and is absolutely hideous.

Markus is part Indonesian like Mark-Paul Gosselaar.

R3

Marcus Schenkenberg is Dutch-Indonesian, though most of his bios just list "Dutch". Nothing Swedish about him at all.

If you're up on history you'll know Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch, and men being men..... Same thing as Spanish, Portuguese, British and other Europeans got up to when they "found" new lands.

DL fave Mark-Paul Gosselaar has similar mixed background. The mother is Indonesian and Dutch (born in Bali, now called Indonesia), and father is Dutch born of German and Jewish descent.

You guys realize that no one looks like that. Pictures are retouched to an inch of their lives. You are judging someone(yes I realize where I am) in a small moment of time. I think they look like normal attractive people. Who the fuck cares?

Interview with MS back in 2008. You can see his face still looks more natural than compared with nowadays, especially around the eyes.

R31 - that interview was not 2008. That video was POSTED in 2008. The interview was 1995.

Of all the male "supermodels" of 1990's think Alexander Lundqvist has aged the best.

Note to all the hotties: this is your future. Enjoy it while it lasts because 20 years from now people will be pointing and laughing at you.

he still looks good. a little preserved, but good.

Tyson still is hot. Too bad that the culture of his Jamaican brethren is so wildly homophobic.

Whet to Jason Lewis? It’s like he disappeared from the face of the earth.

Tyson Beckford was NEVER good looking. Hot,yes,good looking ,not even close. What he was in fact was the token black guy for the times. Shemar Moore was way better looking . Even Jeremy meeks is way better looking than Tyson.

R37 is the light skin troll in overdrive.

We will agree to disagree r37. I think that he’s still gorgeous.

Fabio today looks like Paul Lynde in a wig.

My first jerk-off was to an, unknown to me at the time, photoshopped image of him naked in the shower.

He had a brief cameo on Smash as the brute ex-boyfriend of Uma Thurman's character and he was on one of the Masked Singers shows.

Another god from that bygone era: Antonio Sabato, Jr.

Was friends with him back in the day. He was very gay friendly but straight. Nice guy. And he did look as good as his pics in person.

saw fabio twice in l.a. way back in 2000.. once walking on sunset blvd and another time at a starbucks in tarzana.... incredibly sexy he was in person back then! tall and built beefy with thick legs that seemed to go on forever and spray painted on "powder blue" jeans both times to show them off, black leather jacket, and yes, the perfect tan and long flowing blond hair.. more stunning in person than i could have imagined from simple photos....

never gave him much of a thought before then, but seeing in person i got the WHY of it all and him...

r43, wasn't he a bit more than gay friendly? IIRC Pamela Anderson said that she broke up with him after catching him cheating on her with another guy.

That fateful roller coaster ride ruined a lot of fantasies with Fabio, the romance novel cover guy.

He looked great on The Surreal Life, but he's had major construction on his face because he shouldn't be completely unrecognizable, so sad.

Michael Lucas and Marcus.

Tyson is also about to join them in a threesome.

Marcus being gay molested on the Italian version of Candid Camera.

Met Jeff Jones (He scouted Tyson) a few times way back when. He said he couldn't stop staring as they talked, and made a mental checklist:

Height ✔

Skin ✔

Body ✔

Charisma ✔

Tyson said there was a period, when he would ride the subway as a teen, when he would be scouted at least 4 or 5 times a month. Talk about fucking luck.

He had a girlfriend (they were open) and they both hung out with a largely gay group and we were partying so it would be surprising that I’d never see signs of him flirting or showing curiosity but he just seemed secure...not unusual for European guys, who are not terrified others will think them gay just for being in the company of gays,

I thought OP's picture was Peter Gallagher at first. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Well since we're going down that rabbit hole; honorable mention to another has been male model.

More:

Thinking Fabio is better looking than Markus is like saying Pamela Anderson is better looking than Catherine Deneuve.

ie: you’re blind.

Pietro Bosseli has them all beat.

Hot as fuck, but smart and armed with a post graduate degree has a firm plan "B" if or when modeling doesn't pan out.

Gurl, gurls, you all look bad. Isn't that right, mama?

Another one who needs his eyes checked.

Peter Gallagher now nor then looks nothing like Marcus Schenkenberg.

I had a crush on Dutch model Mark Vanderloo, but seeing him now makes me feel so old. At 52, he's a year older than me, but his face today has so many more deep lines than mine. Does he love in the outdoors?

^^I meant "live" in the outdoors.

Ewwwwwww.

R60 - Mark Vanderloo looks horrible. I know it's difficult to keep looking good at male model weight - which is typically 6 to 6'2" height and 140-160 in weight. And to be muscular/toned.

It's not easy.

But this is something different - that's NOT what 52 looks like.

R60 Normal 52 year old blonde men who have spent a lot of time outdoors look like that. He looks just fine and he is still very attractive he looks rugged and still handsome. . Schenkenberg looks very femme with his obvious work on him face..

Vanderloo is proof positive that a heavily-lined face does not preclude one from still being very handsome or beautiful.

Fabio actually looked far hotter with shorter hair; instead of that stringy dyed to death mess he calls long hair.

Fabio is also much better looking with his natural brunette hair, again rather than bleached blonde.

Marcus used to work out at the Equinox at 19th and Broadway. I have seen a lot of hot bodies over the years, but his was the best I’ve ever seen. Literally perfect.

IIRC Marcus Schenkenberg lived in a townhouse between 8th and 14th streets and Sixth and Fifth avenues. This was before Greenwich Village really took off and townhouses didn't cost the huge fortunes they do nowadays.

MV's son is adorable.

MV's son is adorable.

Vanderloo has always looked like a Shar Pei. I never got how he was ever considered a model.

He was THE MALE SUPERMODEL back in the day followed closely by Tyson. Here he is with Naomi.

WHET to Buzz Collins? He had the best legs of any male model I’ve ever seen.

Matt Collins, sorry.

Vanderloo's appearance at 52 is not just lack of sunscreen, smoking and low body weight. There's some underlying health conditions/addictions going on there. Send your fan letters to him now, while you still can

Is this you?

Besides we're talking about 1990's and maybe part of 1980's here; Matt Collins was 1970's....

This how Matt Collins looked in 2010.

I didn’t realize that he was only modeling in the seventies.

Memories, R68. I saw him there all the time too. In the steam room! He was, indeed, Appollon walking in earth. And quite nice, given that everybody wanted a piece of him.

I don't think he was ever 'the face' - but he was 'the bod'.

Facially, there were much more handsome models back then. Marcus didn't have a ton of close-ups.

Le Ass Face

Didn’t he declare bankruptcy a few years ago?

Is Marcus celibate?

R78, you got the wrong Matt. That’s Matt Norklun, not Matt Collins.

Matt Norklun

R84

Outside of religious vows think you'll find celibacy is what people do when they can't pull. Marcus Schenkenberg may not be the young god he once was, but am more than usually sure he can still get females and or males at least for sex.

R86 & R85

Just did a quick Google search and ran with what came up assuming attributes were correct. Sorry.

Truth to tell both Matt Norklun and Matt Collins are before my time so wouldn't know either from Adam....

John Skudin then.

John Skudin now.

Alexander Lundqvist is hotter now.

More John Skudin

The CK ads featuring Travis Fimmel from the early 00s can still make me drip precum.

Mark Vanderloo looks great. I love that he went natural. I forget natural looks like on men of that age. It's cute that he is modeling with his son. It looks like he has a pretty good life going on. He was my favorite - he had a warmer, friendlier look than Schenkenberg. Fabio looks like absolute shit.

With that said, though not a model, I think Ryan Phillipe really is one of the best looking for his age (45) I've seen out of the aging gorgeous male celebrities.

Look at the Brewer twins. Bet they're Republicans now.

VanderWho?

Fabio must be posting in this thread, he is the ugliest among those mentioned. He looks like a horse.

Vanderloo was married to another model and they modeled for DKNY together, I remember those ads, good looking couple but guess they didn't last

Who are "the Brewer twins"?

Well you did ask.... R99

You can Goggle the rest....

Brewer twins, meh. I've had much better.

R67 I would have never known that was Fabio. He looks so handsome.

Travis Fimmel. He was a legend..

Tyson Beckford is almost 50 years old and still looks as good as he did when he was younger. The attached photo is from an article from earlier this year.

R40, Fabio looks like Carole Bouquet in that second picture!

R105

Black don't crack!

Plenty of AA men and women retain their looks well past 50, providing they take proper care of themselves.

The Brewer twins look like the Winklevoss twins.

I lived in the Petersfield (East Village) in the 90s and so did Marcus who always had an attractive girlfriend during this time.

Albert Delègue was a French fashion model who died of AIDS.

Wow r109, he was beautiful.

No love for John Skudin?!

Ok, I take that back; Marcus Schenkenberg was born in Stockholm, Sweden so yes technically he is "Swedish" at least far as that goes.

OTOH Schenkenberg has Netherlands citizenship, and his parents are Dutch.

In any event still stand by rest; decent body notwithstanding Marcus Schenkenberg is past his sell by date far as "hot" is concerned. The man looks facially every bit of his 52 years of age.

As if on cue current issue of French Vogue has a feature on Versace in 1990's. Scroll down to see photo of MS and Carla Bruni among others....

R108

By all accounts MS makes his home in NYC, as he has done for years. Considering he was "discovered" in LA it does seem he's spent decades in USA; how does that work? Schenkenberg is still a citizen of Netherlands but travels freely in and out of of USA, so he must have some sort of iron clad visa.

Spanish model Jared Celma... A mi me gusta.

He probably has a green card.

[quote]As if on cue current issue of French Vogue has a feature on Versace in 1990's.

I wish they'd bring back supermodels. There must be plenty of young people today who could BE supermodels if they'd only give the chance.

Instead we have the likes of Kaia Gerber, Belle Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Gisele Bündchen and all sorts of other useless slags who think they can be models just because they [italic]want[/italic] to be models.

One of the few modes who comes close to being a supermodel these days is Kendall Jenner.

Years ago now some high placed person in fashion business was discussing supermodels and said the industry would never allow that phenomenon to happen again.

When you get down to it model's job is to walk the runway and sell the garment. When Linda Evangelista famously uttered " I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day", it sent shock waves through the industry. They had created "monsters", and for a while couldn't get them back into cages.

Linda, Christy, Naomi, Kate, etc.. became what people wanted to see in adverts or on runway; so places paid. As wont to happen a new crop of girls (and guys) came along and the older girls cut back, retired, let themselves go.... The business has been very careful from then on to keep upper hand regarding models.

On the male model end "supermodel" really didn't last very long, nor was ever as potent compared to females.

Shock waves? Monster? Wont? 1, 2 , 3...MARY!

Interesting factoid: Evangelista's parents are cousins, which accounts for her unique (inbred) looks.

My mind boggles at the fact that the Hadid sisters, Kendall Jenner and horse-faced Gisele are successful models..

Evangelists is the result of incest? R120, how closely related are her parents?

female and male models nowadays remind me of that old saying "remember when models were gorgeous and beautiful?!"....

kind of like male strippers now! remember back in the day when they had to be drop dead breathtaking handsome in the face?! nowadays if they are remotely buff or skinny/ripped the face only okay VOILA! your a male stripper!

Oh I don't know...
