Mike Henry, beefcake icon for eldergays, is DEAD TO ME

He was hot in those Smokey films.

Way sexier than Burt Reynolds.

Very sexy man...RIP!

He was by far the sexiest Tarzan for my money. How my young loins burned for him in his loin cloth.

Hubba hubba!

DADDY!

I always watched his Tarzan movies carefully for the scenes when he'd get physical either with some animal or a person. It never failed that his loin cloth would flap up and you'd get a good look at that well packed basket underneath.

Yes, he was one of the most gorgeous Tarzans'!

What a hunk!

Was he homosexual?

How seductive........!!!

He was the most ridiculously handsome man back in the day. And his Tarzan made me sweat bullets. He and Robert Conrad were the stuff dreams are made of.

My vine or yours?

Oh my!

There were long time rumors about him and Burt. He was also in The Longest Yard with him.

Pure man meat. When His Tarzan movies where shown as a kid I would be so embarrassed - couldn’t watch with the family as I obviously wanted to lick the tv screen!

I'd watch his films, along with Ron Ely, in secret, just before my teen years. Damn, even then, I wanted a man!

If Cliff Gorman had been beefcake.

Terrible actor, all man.

I knew Brian’s Drive in Theater would have a page on him.

His front flap was riding high that day.

That picture at R10 looks like the young man is about to pull down his loincloth to give him a blowjob.

R11 -- we have the same thoughts....

I already posted this in some other thread, but here is Mike Henry's butt crack from whatever Tarzan movie that is where he goes to Mexico.

Even in clothes he looked rugged and great.

How fuckin old do you think we are???

He might have been a good James Bond. Looks a bit like both Connery and George Lazenby.

He was truly gorgeous.

In Tarzan-related news, TCM has been showing the Tarzan serials from the '30s on Saturday mornings. Tarzan is played by "Herman Brix," who later changed his name to Bruce Bennett and became Mr. Mildred Pierce. He had a bangin' body for that era. (He had been an Olympic shot-putter.)

Was he the gay?

My absolutely deepest, most consuming, intensest gayling crush. The first Tarzan movie I saw him in had a kid in it as a sidekick/ward kind of thing (if I remember right) All I know is I wanted to murder him and take his place.

Mike was so incredibly handsome and the body was just superb.

I need to rent a cottage on some rocky cliffside by a turbulent sea and go into mourning for a few weeks. With all my heart, I still love that man.

Who did he fuck? Was he married?

Gaylings wet dream - I couldn’t watch him on TV in front of my family as my thirst for him would have been all over my face ( like his cum).

r30 He certainly helped me masturbate...

He didn't get married until he was in his late 40s, and he has his wife had no kids. And get this - he met his wife when she was a stuntwoman on one of the Smokey and the Bandit movies.

Sounds like a gay-lesbian marriage o' convenience to me.

r32 Good research 😍🤩

Cool!

Michael Dennis Henry (August 15, 1936 – January 8, 2021), 84, was an American actor and NFL football linebacker. He was best known for his role as Tarzan in the 1960s trilogy and as Junior in the Smokey and the Bandit film series.

He was gorgeous.

Two weeks ago, Joe Lara, who played Tarzan, died.

Now it's Mike Henry.

Could Ron Ely be next?

Mike Henry was before my time. I did not know him. I don't believe it would be appropriate to offer my condolences.

R25 I thought the same thing when I saw the photo a R23 He's a combo of Connery and Lazenby.

[quote]Two weeks ago, Joe Lara, who played Tarzan, died.

Just over a week ago, and is that ever a whole other story. Meet the Mrs.

His widow is Cheryl Sweeny. They were married in 1984

He was showing some basket here. His loin cloth flap was riding high that day.

r39 Possibly given the stress of recent family tragedys in the past 2 years. ron Ely is definitely another one worth masturbating over.

Not only did he not skip leg day, he made it his bitch.

Nice.

His obit reminded me he played Hot Lips' husband on one episode of MASH

He was once on Newhart too, and showed that he had a flair for comedy.

Between him and Rbt Conrad... well, that's where I wanted to be.

[quote] He didn't get married until he was in his late 40s, and he and his wife had no kids.

R32 The obituary at "Variety" reports that Henry is also survived by a daughter, "Shannon." Also, he may have been late-40s when they married, but the wife is 21 years younger.

r48 That sounds like a brilliant sexual fantasy!!

I had no idea he had died. Sounded like he suffered for a long, long time. Like THIRTY-FIVE years?

Those slams to the head in football ain't exactly worth it.

Golly-gee Mr. Henry Sir, are your shorts made of cotton, or a poly-blend?

R26 That basic loincloth is a more convincing African loincloth.

That loincloth is more erotic than the later, well-engineered American-style loincloth.
