Fabio: Looking for Love and Staying "Sexy"

He's a fit, somewhat handsome guy.

But the hair is no longer doing many favors for him. It's sorta mildly OK but he's a few inches from being the weird old professor wearing a rat tail. He should cut it short.

The hair looks fried.

I can’t tell what the body looks like, but without (what’s left of his) long hair, in the face he looks every bit of his 62 years.

[quote] I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

Spread.

He would be super hot for a 62 year old if he'd lose the ridiculous dyed hair. Even if the colour was not such a giveaway it is dry and thin... old hair. He should keep it short.

Is there any way to keep long hair looking good as one nears a certain age? It must be difficult for Fabio to cut it since long hair is part of his trademark look and identity. Think of those romance covers in the 1980s and 1990s. He was iconic.

Like Dog the Bounty Hunter that hair needs to go. He may think it's an asset, but it's absolute liability.

But the hair is all that he has to remind people he’s Fabio. Sorry, but without the hair, that’s a regular-looking 62-year old man’s face.

Poor dear

I met him once, about 30 years ago, at a department store. He was very kind to all the fans in line to meet him.

Isn't he a Trumper?

Maybe all those lonely nights sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber fried his hair? Also, I don't think you can jack off in a hyperbaric chamber.

I think hes still quite handsome,but that hair is a tragedy.

A number of years ago he was riding in an amusement park vehicle when a bird accidentally smacked into his face at high speed. He was very worried that his face might have been damaged.

Well, he apparently hates George Clooney, so that's something.

Does he cook like Greg does?

For some reason, I find the goose incident so very sexy. I never had any interest in Fabio until the goose and the roller coaster. The romance covers and commercials never did anything for me. But the goose incident and the video of the accident drives me wild. I still watch the video every now and then. I know that's weird. Sorry for oversharing.

Feathers flew!

A few years back he was making an appearance at a Whole Foods nearby where I lived at the time. Believe he was promoting some type of supplement powder (practically grows new teeth!) They had drawn chalk arrows on the floor. "This way to Fabio... "

Yes, my friend met him at a Whole Foods. She has a photo of herself and Fabio. Fabio has his arm around my friend. A man photobombed and my friend said Fabio wasn’t happy about that.

Fabio still looks good, IMO, but People mag seems like it Photoshops the hell out of celebrity photos. His long hair and pecs are his trademark. Surprised that his hair is so dark and not at least dyed blonde instead of dark brown.

[quote] I don't think you can jack off in a hyperbaric chamber.

What made you contemplate that?

[quote] Does he cook like Greg does?

Let’s hope for the sake of Fabio’s taste buds he doesn’t.

[quote] She has a photo of herself and Fabio

Lived with his mother for decades.

I don't think he's really looking for the "right woman."

Even back in day Fabio's hair was getting thin, wispy and looked so dry it probably crackled. But that's what happens when you're a slave to the bottle.

What happens to females is same for males who continuously bleach or otherwise process their hair. Women often have the advantage their hair is thicker and does not thin much as they age, but that always isn't true.

At some point every (smart) woman or man who has been coloring their hair for ages makes a decision. Let things go natural and thus what hair they've got left looks more healthy. Or continue love affair with bleaching/coloring until they are nearly bald.

My gayling self wasn't attracted to him back in the day. It was like he stepped out of an International Male catalog. His look was just too much. But, even without all that hair, I don't think it would have changed anything. He looks good for his age though.

Forgot link:

He never did anything for me when he was young and certainly doesn't do anything for me now. He's a caricature of a stereotypical "manly man" much like an overly buxom blonde woman. Meh

Am also guessing over years Fabio wore extensions for length and to give more density.

Problem is once hair begins thinning wearing extensions becomes difficult to impossible. There is little natural hair to glue or sew extensions onto for a start. Lacking that natural density hiding or blending extensions becomes difficult.

[quote] Let things go natural and thus what hair they've got left looks more healthy. Or continue love affair with bleaching/coloring until they are nearly bald.

We know which choice Linda Bastianich made.

Your pussy was never all that precious to begin with OP

Nothing is more horrible than an aging man with thin long hair struggling to look younger.

Where does one start? That picture of Fabio in OP shows point exactly.

He doesn't have "long hair" but about half to three-quarters are thin wispy ends. Trim those thin ends away and Fabio's hair would be about to his chin or higher.

He's lost very much of crown hair which is made more obvious by dying it a dark color. Look at any famous or whatever woman over say 50 or certainly 60 who were brunettes in youth. They've all gone to medium brown (often golden) to deeper shades of blonde (again often with gold or reddish gold).

Once a person passes 40 or maybe 50 deeper its time to kiss most shades of medium to dark brown and certainly black good bye.

Lighter shades of hair hide or allow easier blending of white hair. This means less time spent retouching roots, especially along hairline. Overall this results in healthier hair because one isn't in the chair every two or three weeks coping with white roots.

Bret Michaels lets his bandana do some of the work of holding down extensions.

R33, Jesus christ. Fabio is never going to fuck you, pathetic frau. Get over it already.

You bitches always assume everyone is trying to please you. Maybe he just likes the way he looks. I think the worst thing about the photo is the pose.

At 62 years old, never married, no children, not even a LTR anyone knows about, either Fabio is gay on the DL, or a lousy lay far as ladies are concerned. This or there is something women find out and puts them off idea of continuing a relationship.

I don't by this whole "looking for love" PR bs that Fabio and his handlers give out. Pietro Boselli (who on his worst day beats Fabio in looks department IMHO), might get away with such claims, but he's several decades younger.

He's just holding on to his youth with that 'hair'...candyfloss (spun sugar) whatever!!

Cut the hair.

R35

First of all am not a frau, so shut your pie hole.

Second of all if you incel aged gays don't want someone or thing talked about, stop starting threads about them. Last time one checked DL still is a *gossip* site, so there.....

He was always seemed more the type of man for frauen.

Fabio actually had shorter hair when younger, and it suited him rather well.

Problem with him having long hair now is Fabio's face. That thin long hair just doesn't have volume enough to counter the severe rugged look of Fabio's face. His face is rather square (especially from cheek bones down to chin), and that thin hair just serves to emphasis angular lines.

Fabio also was far better looking with his natural darker hair. He's trying to get bit of that back now I suppose by ditching blonde highlights, but it's a bit too late....

^ Wow, that whole pinterest page is loaded with freakishly good looking men

His hair is such a huge part of his brand or at least it has been for decades.

I can see why he wouldn't want to part with it.

And relatively recently he was still doing endorsement deals based around it.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I'd love to see him on something like Celebrity Bachelor. He seems like a nice guy.

R33 is an interesting beautician.

At R46 he looks like an old swinger with a social disease or a late-blooming trans lady inching her way out of the closet

Man boobs in the purple shirt pics.

@r48 There was a whole lot of social commentary in those old Bugs Bunny cartoons that I missed as a kid

Comment posted on Daily Mail article: "Fabio looks like a Iesbian that has let herself go."

Tracy James tried the "Fabio look" for a bit when he was doing romance book covers. It just didn't suit him at all.

R51

Bugs Bunny did a ton of drag and femme skits.

However the two "beautician" skits while at first glance seem to have Bugs playing a very femme gay, on second look there were female beauticians in 1930's, 1940's and 1950's who acted same way.

Am thinking of that manicurist Olga in "The Women".

“[R]emarkably good for his age[,]” R46?!

R52 So Melissa Etheridge?

@r54, I didn't think Bugs was playing Gay, but you just know on the old Warner lot there were women who had worked there forever who were like that. Daffy Duck did a lot of crossover/trans stuff too

Fabio has the look of the "I'm 62 but look 32!" old queen at the bar who thinks because he has a ballcap, mesh shorts and an Abercrombie & Fitch muscle shirt on, he can pass for younger.

OP's picture is not how he really looks, this is closer to the real thing now.

he'd look great with shorter hair.

Been there done that.

^ What Fabio want's in a woman is a cock.

[quote] A few years back he was making an appearance at a Whole Foods nearby where I lived at the time. Believe he was promoting some type of supplement powder (practically grows new teeth!) They had drawn chalk arrows on the floor. "This way to Fabio... "

I would've paid cash money to go there and see Fabio. I would've asked him if he got revenge on the rollercoaster goose.

What does he actually...do?

Is that supposed to be an improvement, R59?

Never look back.

He must work as an escort. How does he keep up a jetset lifestyle?

After reading the story about Clooney I want to change my vote from no to yes.

I was looking for the “kill it with fire” option…

I actually do think more highly of Fabio for standing up to a drunken douchebag George Clooney.

Jesus he looks like Caitlyn has been dressing him in the clothes department in that Daily Mail article.

Fabio laid it on a little thick in that Clooney story but good for him. What an ego Clooney has.

He learned from June and Claudette: Keep one basic hairdo and you'll always look dewy and youthful.

His cranium is just so fucking enormous.

Men keep that wispy thin "long" hair because length (if you can call it that) helps conceal bald or badly thinning areas.

Usual way of dealing with thin hair and or to give lift at roots is to use mousse or some other product that will give volume and make roots stand up a bit.

With very thin or balding that doesn't work well because you then can see the scalp. This is why products meant to remedy this situation contain pigment well as fillers.

The former will color scalp making thin hair less noticeable. Latter aids in volume giving appearance of fuller hair.

Thank goodness for him for computerization and photoshop. If he had stayed still enough in that pic to make any inch of that layout that flat and pixel-perfect, he'd have suffocated and dropped dead on the set by the time they finished getting it right. He looks like a posed, preserved praying mantis.

Trump supporter and vain asshole.

Fabio has no lips!

He looks great!

hell no he's not hot anymore

But can he still get it up?

No lips and no eyelids, just eyebrows on top of eyes.

Men with no lips are terrible kissers.

He's definitely one of those sex symbols that appeals more to straight women. Like David Hasselhoff.

^ Our lips and asses disappear at 50.

Has anyone ever listened to Fabio's spoken word album? The YouTube link is below for the "classic and sadly out of print compilation CD Fabio After Dark. The great sage of modern romance shares his ruminations on inner beauty, the need for more romantic films, tropical islands, the importance of a woman's sense of humor, surprises, and of course, slow dancing. Listen and learn, ladies and gentlemen. Listen and learn!"

If I kept my hair natural like Fabio does , I'd be bald!

The best thing Fabio did was make the super hot Ashton Kutcher and Seann William Scott make out in "Dude, Where's My Car?"

LOL I love the homophobic reaction Fabio and his gf give as they drove away yet Ashton and Seann look at them with a satisfied smile.

I've always thought he looked terrible with long hair, even back in the day. It never went with his strong, manly face. He looks great with short, dark hair, like in R43.

Fabio seems to have been doing this "looking for love" schtick for better part of thirty or more years it seems. He wasn't worst thing to look at early in morning back in day, so what exactly is the problem?

And why as an American citizen is he casting a net in Australia of all places to find "romance" or whatever.

Miss Ghurl is a big ole Mary, you mark my words. These sort of PR stunts are largely what keeps Fabio's name in print or at least creates a buzz. Otherwise Fabio is just another has been male model who was hot back in his day.

He still looks better than 99% of 62 year old men, but he should do something about the hair.

If he wants to get fucked right, he needs to get to a proper hairstylist to trim those dead ends and deep condition that frizz bomb hair. Also back to blonde bimbo and I’d give him a toss.

[R93] Unfortunately, once you get past middle age the texture of your hair will change quite drastically and no deep conditioning treatment, however intensive, is going to make it smooth and dense again. But you are right about the trim part.

[quote] [[R93]] Unfortunately, once you get past middle age the texture of your hair will change quite drastically and no deep conditioning treatment, however intensive, is going to make it smooth and dense again. But you are right about the trim part.

That's not necessarily true.

We need to stage an intervention and gang cut his hair the next time he steps outside. Datamob, activate!

[R95] No snark - I really would like to hear your product recommendations.

Would olaplex help his hair?

He needs to let the hair go, man. He needs to cut it and be it's natural color.

I don’t believe the George Clooney story.

Many older women (and men) find their hair grows thicker and is far healthier once they give up the bottle and let their hair go naturally grey or white.

Once you start going > 50% white hair and certainly at or near 100% all the hair coloring in world isn't fooling anyone. Worse you're just a slave to your professional colorist. This or worse, trying to manage things at home with box hair color or using professional products without a clue.

Ha I met him at an instore appearance for his fragrance around 1995. I worked across the street so stopped in on my lunch hour. I remember he was very masculine.

I wonder where he advertises his “services.”

It’s hard to believe his nudes haven’t leaked.

He needs a haircut in the worst way.

It looks like he got a haircut in the worst way.

is he cut or uncut (not talking about the hair)

Like many other models who eventually became US citizens, Fabio was an illegal alien or visa overstay.

Most come here on student or other visas and never leave. The special visas for "extra ordinary" talent is vastly abused by models, actors and a few others. Mrs. Trump came to USA on such a visa for modeling...

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I will also echo above - he's never been paired with ANYONE. I just don't understand that. He talks in broad strokes about some mysterious former women in his life, but with no receipts.

He either has a micro penis, some major issues, or is gay.

I don't get it.

"Tucker Carlson needed an expert on the California economy.

At times like these, why not turn to ... Fabio?

He’s done it before, in April 2017, when the erstwhile romance-novel cover model came on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” to wax philosophic on the epidemic of crime in Los Angeles, blaming liberal leaders statewide for the “mess” and “epidemic.”

Thursday, Carlson was talking about L.A. crime once again, giving Fabio Lanzoni — that’s his last name, by the way — the chance to chime in on the state of his state of residence.

“Let me tell you something right now about California,” Lanzoni told Carlson. “It looks like the wild, wild west. No third-world country 30 years ago looks like California right now. Like downtown — I mean, you go down to the library. It’s like Sodom and Gomorrah. It’s like ‘sex, drugs and rock-n-roll.’”

/quote

I can't believe it's not better

I can’t believe it’s not butter

he needs a stylist

[R14]

Have no way to confirm it, but I worked with a production team back in the day who told me the rumours were true, and their amusement at a couple of women on the team when they found out. But dibs to him: with only his looks he created a persona, and it made him his fortune. I admire people who can live their own fantasy.

So many have discovered that today grey, white, silver, etc... shades of hair color can be sexy as fuck. There is no need to keep dying one's hair shades of of brunette in vain efforts at fighting grey/white hair.

Men in particular have long looked distinguished to down right hot with grey, white or silver hair.

In short we're not talking about your Nana's blue hair.

if your natural grey or white hair has green or yellow off tones, that can be managed easily today with various shampoos, conditioners or maybe even a rinse.

Other examples:

Still more hot examples.

If done well Fabio would look great with right shade of "grey" hair. Providing it was properly cut and styled as well.

Gay rumors, r116? I have no idea WTF you are talking about.

I believe part of his brand is not just the hair, but the availability. I think that's why he's single. I think his fanbase (all two of them?) would commit mass suicide if he, the cover guy of so many romance novels, is getting married and no longer represent the desire and longing of all these Fraus who have only their cats, and the romance novels on their bedside tables, to keep them company.

I don’t know about fuckable, but he is likable.

how did he make his money? no way that ad was lucrative enough and being on romance covers don't pay much.

Jason Aaron Baca, model who beat Fabio's romance novel cover pictures number.

He retired in 2019....

R116 English is a rich, beautiful, expressive language. Splash out! Go for it....

I'd still do him because, you know, Fabio...there is some entertainment story value in that.

But, he really needs to ditch the long straggly hair. It may have been his trademark, but it's awful now.

With short hair, he has the classic 80s male model look - Case in point, former Hugo Boss model Michael Flinn

[quote] how did he make his money?

Public appearances and those meet & greet autograph conventions featuring stars from the past (aka hasbeens).

Depending upon what source one believes, Fabio has total net worth between $10 - $16 million USD.

He's a right wing Trumper who has aged badly.

Icky pre-haircut Michael Bolton vibe. That hair is no longer an appealing mane, but instead the ruinous remains.

Michael Bolton looks far more hotter after cutting off those wispy ends of hair he thought was a luxurious mane of hair.

Also with shorter hair MB could wear hair if he wanted to add a bit of fullness to an otherwise thinning crown.

Even Yanni has given up on that long mane of hair look.

Face it; few men have genes that allow them to keep long luxurious thick hair all their lives. Most guys by middle age experience some thinning, and things go into overdrive usually by 50 or 60.

Yes, there are men who are exceptions, but they are lucky.

[quote]Once a person passes 40 or maybe 50 deeper its time to kiss most shades of medium to dark brown and certainly black good bye.

You LIE!

Is she still pretending to be straight?

OMG, remember this?

God how I hated Micheal Bolton ! I had forgotten he even existed till now.

Fabio has no dick and he’s ugly. He needs to just go away.

Whatever happened to R127's Michael Flinn?

R139

Michael Flinn IIRC retired from modeling and went into family business. He married and by all accounts is a fantastic father to his three boys.

R134

Post did state some men were or are lucky enough to keep their full head of hair. What exactly is your problem bitchy bottom?

Fabio sounds like one of those guys who is just so full of himself and self absorbed there isn't room in his life for anyone else. This would be either male or female....

Anyone that sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber to avoid aging and whatever else Fabio does in belief he will remain youthful forever must be a first class bore.

r98, it absolutely would, especially paired with the oil.

I love big guys, give me a wall of man and I just melt. Fabio has never once done anything for me. He comes off as asexual.

[quote]I will also echo above - he's never been paired with ANYONE. I just don't understand that. He talks in broad strokes about some mysterious former women in his life, but with no receipts.

What's wrong with that?

He's 62, and he still wants to have kids?

R145

That's just what Fabio lets on for the frau punters.

If the guy truly wanted children he would have married or otherwise had them years ago now.

Fabio has been successful and at least comfortably well off enough to afford a wife and children for a few decades now. He certainly has enough money could go way of many older straight or gay men and just hire a surrogate if he truly wanted children that badly, but no woman would have him for a husband.

Fabio also could have adopted a child or children as well.

No, this whole "looking for romance" and "wants to have children" is the same PR bullshit Fabio has been spewing for decades. And again fraus and PR machines dedicated to them just lap it up.

Well, his fanbase is beyond the age where they could still give him children. So, if he says he wants children, he's alienating all the women his age (and up to 20 years younger than him).

I was told he turned up at a shoot in Australia for I Can't Believe It's Not Butter with his bf. The very idea of an (allegedly!) gay but supposedly straight hunk with hoards of deranged frau fans flogging margarine is so wackily high camp and surreal you could stick it in a comedy without changing a thing. The two were (allegedly!) totally cool and blasé with the crew. Not like a certain married bisexual (?) hunk actor in the comical 80s crap Kangaroo Jack. It was the talk of the Oz cast and crew how super cautious the hotel arrangements were with 'the friend', who was put up in a hotel at the other end of the city. I love crew gossip. Especially the old timers. Nurse a mug of tea with a grizzled grip on break and it all comes out. They've seen it all.

I used to see him around my gym. Seemed like a nice guy, not starving for attention like some of the other gym queens. Held the door open for ladies, always was friendly to the front desk staff.

^^^I can see O’ Connell as bi.

Oops. My memory playing up. Wrong movie. It was Quigley Down Under. LOL.

If Fabio is still looking for love at 62, he must be doing it in all the wrong places.

Oh, puh-lease. He loves the pole. Any straight man with all the female attention he got would have kids all over the globe. Wake up people!

I could see him in his prime as some donwlow prostitute who makes women's (and men's?) romantic novel fantasies come true with roleplay, but not advertising his services in the traditional way. But then, there would be a lot more talk about that from gossipy clients.

His eyes say it all.

Any current pics of Michael Flinn, R140? I’d love to compare them to those of Fabio.

Are Fabio's pectoral muscles real? He's supposed to look ripped and once had six pack abs, but his chest has always looked rather feminine, almost like big fake female boobs. Even his nipples look large and bright like females. I wonder if they are really that way or if the photos and novel covers were retouched? If so, why, since they are supposed to appeal to hetro females. Weird.

R157

Chest and rest of things are real.

Scroll down through pictures in linked People's mag story above and you'll see Fabio shirtless.

At 6'3" and 225 lbs Fabio isn't some puny Italian man.

Yeah, R158, but what are his "real" measurements?

@R158 That's quite a picture! Thanks. Very hot.

I love Fabio! He's adorable. 6'3" and 225 lbs of pure Grade A organic Italian beefcake. Yummy, unless he voted Trump.

Lets see here *checks notes* Yep, still 62.

His face always looked odd to me. The close-set eyes and low-set eyebrows. He never appealed to any gaylings or gay men that I knew of, his appeal was more to fraus in the lower socioeconomic class. Fraus whose foray into literature started and ended with romance novels. The type of basic fraus who’d go to male strip clubs.

His hair now is unfortunate. He’s committing the style sin that old/ aging former starlets make: wearing the same hairstyle and makeup they wore when they were at their hottest. But all that does is make them appear older and desperate to hang on to lost youth, reminding people that the hairstyle and makeup used to look good 20+ years ago.

Have to chime in about coloring grays once past a certain age. Toxic, permanent hair dyes shouldn’t be used on aging hair. But there are semi-permanent products out there that are safe. I’ve been going gray slowly since my mid-30s. I use a semi-permanent color, Arctic Fox, it’ll sort of like Manic Panic but with longer-lasting color and like MP, it actually conditions the hair because there’s no bleach or nasty ingredients. To get an ash-brown color, I mix bright yellow, purple, lavender-gray, and black. Leave it on for a whole day while I hang out at home. Lasts for about 2 weeks.

I was early for a dinner party; one other guest was, too. She was talking about the problem of hair-coloring. As she saw it, it's dangerous to do it yourself, because it can turn your hair orange. She said you should always go to a pro for dyeing your hair.

Whether she was right or not I don't know, but then the next guest arrived: a pianist-singer of some note in the NYC club scene. He was aging and apparently felt he'd better darken his greying hair and didn't want to spend the money to go to a salon.

And his hair was orange.

I probably wouldn't have brought this up in the first place, except he annoys me with his Pollyanna attitude. At every such party, he tried to silence anyone who's criticizing someone with "But he/she is a friend of mine."

He'll do this about anyone--your ex-lover, Napoleon, Becky Sharp. Anyone. I can't stand Pollyannas and nobody has the right to silence someone else.

I don't know why aged women - often with thinning hair - insist on dyeing their hair pitch black. It only accentuates the difference between the color of their scalps, making their hair look even thinner.

Despite his Italian heritage, Fabio doesn’t go for the nation’s favorite starch: “I’m not really big into pasta but my father taught me a really simple and easy recipe. It’s the same as alfredo sauce but you don’t use cream. It’s just I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and parmesan cheese.” [Note: this has not been tested in the GQ kitchen.] That’s his go-to when he needs complex carbs, usually after a lot of cardio or dirt biking (seriously).

Yes, Colton Ford while a bit younger than Fabio (four years) is still far more hotter IMHO.

Just goes to show a man can have grey (or white hair) and still be hot as fuck.

If he cut off his hair I would probably bang him after a few drinks.

Some how imagine Fabio as totally unimaginative and boring in bed. Likely with not much below the waist and just lays there expecting to be worshiped. Oh and of course never tires of reminding someone how lucky they are that he even breathed in their direction, much less allowed to get into same bed with *FABIO*.

This or Fabio is one of those bossy bed partners.. Don't touch my hair, don't touch this, touch me here but not there. Whole event is likely over in < ten minutes then he falls asleep.

Michael Flinn got his start from the grand daddy beefcake calendar Men of Troy from USC.

God, I can't imagine going through college looking like this...

^ mmmmm just my type...fair with blue eyes. Yum.

No updates on the once-dreamy Mr. Flinn?

He's this-far from looking like Tiny Tim!!!! Bless his HEART!

Fabio needs to marry a young, fertile woman so he can impregnate her right away and use the babies to sell more I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!

So I don't get it. Does he like guys?

No woman has ever come forward and stated he was a great lover, have they?

His fight with George Clooney made me like him.

He seemed reasonably normal about it. In comparison George’s people then planted a story about how George protected a model from Fabio in Milan years before.

He looked incredibly handsome with the short dark hair, but I have never liked the male Barbie look with the blonde flowing hair. At 62 he is not looking for anything other than his reading glasses.

I used to see him riding around and flaunting his mane in a brand spanking new convertible Bentley in Beverly Hills. He screamed “kept man.” I honestly think that is how he made most of his money. Very wealthy men and/or women. But always got the gay vibe. Most straight kept men would have a Ferrari or a Porsche. He looked ridiculous. I am trying to remember the color. I think it was a tacky pale blue or something. Spotting him was like spotting Angelyne in her pink Corvette! Oh the good old days of LaLaLand.

Didn't he make enough money from his books and the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter to avoid being a kept man?

Fabio may be many things, but he is not a kept man nor has ever likely been so.

He may same terribly camp now, but in his day Fabio was a hot property. Those cheesy "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" adverts made Fabio plenty of money.

As for the Bentley, it could have been leased, paid for out of Fabio's own money, or given as a gift by studio or something.

Actors long were given cars and other big ticket items as gifts by sponsors or whoever. Main ensemble cast of Will and Grace were all given a Porsche as gifts from studio. Think it was at beginning of second or third season, not sure.

I have a beautiful Lebanese friend that had been asked out on a date by him (L.A., early to mid 90’s). She wasn’t really attracted to him, but was piqued and went. When they got to his house, he asked her, “Do you want to see my motorcycle”. She went along and said sure….he escorted her to the kitchen, lo and behold, the motorcycle was there….

Then she remembered she had something important that she had to do at home and hot-footed it out there.

Also Michael B has hair plugs in the front (he’s also a jerk), , and Steven Segal is one of those creepy guys that try to pick up girls (my gorgeous black girl friend) with “I have a part for you in my movie, come to the studio after wrap” line. Said studio was completely empty and dark, and girlfriend was creeped out.

Clooney professionally is a dream to work with, but when the wife visits, it’s such a weird dynamic between the two- he dresses like a suburban dad, and she steps out of the car like Sonia Braga in “Kiss of the Spider Woman”.

R180 it's interesting that you mention the Bentley and kept man. There's some connection there because Jack Scalia used to drive a Bentley around the LA area when he was being kept by Edra Blixseth.

R183 Great details! Did your friend ditch Fabio because the motorcycle in his kitchen was a turn off, or did she take it as a sign of something like over compensation? What told her to get the hell out of his kitchen while the getting was good?

Icanbaleeveitnotbuuuuuhtaah

R185, the whole motorcycle in the kitchen was too bizarre for her- she’s a very classy woman with expensive tastes.

My guess is he wanted to fuck her on the bike, and that was a hard no.

Our, he wanted to fuck the tailpipe while she looked on.

(But I’d be surprised if he’s nothing but straight for pay.)

The motorcycle in the kitchen! Hilarious.

Too bad Fabio's luscious locks have now turned into Michael Bolton Fuzz.

I wonder if I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is good for lube.

"I wonder if I Can't Believe It's Not Butter is good for lube."

Not as well as I Can't Believe It's Not Crisco.

That's the real fake deal!

Don't buy I Can't Believe It's Not Lube.

It's just hobo spit in a jar.

You know that paid us shit wages to spit in that jar.

In the 90's I was at 7-11 on la Cienaga getting a mild-hot burrito and while I was waiting at the microwave in walks this horse of a man, shirtless and he starting staring me down. I said "What you want foo."

"Can I taste your burrito?"

"Naw, take your big Cousin It head outa here. You cain't have none."

"You want to come over and see my motorcycle in my bathroom. I need help pushing it to my kitchen."

Right then the microwave dinged and grabbed my burrito fast and split. He followed me 2 blocks before I hopped a fence and lost his oily ass.

I love you, r193

way back in 2001 i saw fabio in person twice... once walking down during the day on sunset blvd as i drove by.... the next better in person experience was at a starbucks in Tarzana, he was wearing a black leather jacket, what looked like a black tank top underneath and these spray painted on skintight powder blue jeans and he looked FUCKING FANTASTIC off the charts sexy! at 6'3 or so his legs looked long, long and thick in those jeans and yes a nice bubble butt too.... and gorgeous in the face still and his hair blonde and still thick and long...he looked like his romance book covers come to life....

for me, literally a walking wet dream who looked BETTER in person than in photos. He was hot to me before then in photos or tv appearances, but not in a jon eric hexum way, just so so, but seeing him in person and this upclose he was stunning...

Exotic spice mystery?

Never got the appeal of Fabio, just don't find him attractive now or did then back in his heyday.

Maybe when younger with his natural darker (and shorter) hair might be tempted, but now Fabio just looks creepy. Rather like some aging delusional old Chelsea Boy queen who still thinks it is the 1980's, and he's the hottest thing in tight jeans.

[quote]I have a beautiful Lebanese friend that had been asked out on a date by him

Then he must be bi, because I was told by a lady production manager who worked on one of the margarine ads that Fabio brought his boyfriend to the production, and Fabio was relaxed and professional. The friend was apparently as handsome as he, but some of the other women on the team who'd been looking forward to the day were nonplussed. People's lives are complex. Who knows what's gone on.

It's a mystery worthy of Agatha Christie.

Like Rock Hudson Fabio is one large slab of man. It would be nearly impossible for him to go out in public with another man and not be noticed.

No, if Fabio showed up at some taping or whatever with a man who clearly was his bf world would have known it by now. This is the age of internet and someone would have spilled that tea by now. Especially some jealous frau looking to settle a score because Fabio didn't give her the time of day.

Escorts? Rent boys or men? Maybe, but even then you're talking about a rarified select group who can keep their mouths shut about clientele they service.

Can see rumors about that more recent hot Italian model, Pietro Boselli. Just by the company he keeps alone is enough to cause loose talk.

Other than random posts on DL refering to a friend or friend of friend who tells of Fabio supposedly having this bf you don't hear a peep about it elsewhere. Fabio is out and about either alone, or with some random female.

Suppose Fabio could be like many other Italian men world over and gets his gay itch scratched discretely, but again come on; Fabio has been a celebrity for over thirty years now, someone would have had more concrete stories to tell.

Same situation as with Cruise. People have told the stories, including Paul Baressi / Nathan Hamilton, but some people don't want to believe them.

Mess with an Italian man with predisposed mob connections? No thanks.

If the net worth sites are to be believed (I know they're just very rough guesstimates) I can't fathom how he could be worth anything near $16 million. His IMDb page shows nothing that could have earned him that kind of money, and I doubt he's had a paying modeling job in decades.

He made money doing all those commercials for decades. Also, he "authored" dozens of romance novels where his cover image was used to sell books to women. Before that, he was a model at a top agency. He's been working with very good pay just for showing up for the last 40 years.

Fabio may (and likely has) substantial assets like real estate that make up a bulk of his net worth. Of course net worth does not equal cash, only value of something if it were sold at a particular time.

To get an idea of Fabio's wealth you'd have to know what assets he is holding. Real estate records are public, but things could be held under a LLC or something other than his real name.

Fabio has been working in US for better part of over thirty years. A smart man would have plowed percentage of earnings into investments.

Yes we are all in agreement his attachment to the romance cover long locks is tired and doing him no favors. I suspect he is closeted but the fact that there not a shred of gossip out there on gay hookups is odd.. Politics aside he seems like a sweet guy. I think he is ripe for a reality show. I never met an Italian man gay or straight who did not know how to cook so perhaps a Fabio at home cooking and also looking for love type thing! I would watch it. I totally believe the Clooney story . I have long suspected Clooney being a drunk Hollywood asshole. Fabio calling Clooney a diva was so bitchy 🤣🤣🤣.

He owns over 200 motorcycles. I wonder what the collection is worth?

Saw him once in real life when I was working at the PDC. He was walking down the street with someone, not paying any attention to them at all. He kept looking around constantly to see if anyone noticed him. Walked right past an open air cafe not a single person stopped him or asked for his autograph. Never found him attractive, he was a vapid narcissistic roided out queen then and I am sure he is a vapid narcissistic queen now. Only with shitty hair and face of a 60 year old who's been ridden hard.

Your basic Frous are the ones who made him famous. Most gay men I know thought he was a joke.

If he was on roids all that time, it would explain a lot. He could be suffering effects of roids--little shrunken balls, dick acne, moody, smelly. Could seriously affect his love life. He has the vibe of a cheap skate. Something tells me he's rich but doesn't like to spend on his dates.

Even in ca. 1989 he was TACKY he looked liked a cross between a Chippendales MOOSE and the cover of one of those romance novels the FRAUS used to love.

OP- The title of this thread should say- Fabio: Looking For Love and Staying SKANKY.

LOL! R213

In addition to being drunk, I suspect Clooney was also enjoying the company of a male companion and that is why he was so angry about possibly being caught in the background of Fabio's pictures.

Same with the story about drunk George getting into a fight with Steve Wynn at one of the Wynn's hotels. The story was Wynn called George "molly coddled" which I'm sure he did but I would suspect the full story contains a few "f@ggot" from Wynn or something along those lines as he was there with Gerber and they were probably entertaining local trade.

Many stories of George being an angry drunk at the Carlyle in NYC and his posse having to control and remove him from the bar.

Skanky bump!

Looks trans @ R196

[quote]Even in ca. 1989 he was TACKY he looked liked a cross between a Chippendales MOOSE and the cover of one of those romance novels the FRAUS used to love.

R21 He WAS the guy on those tacky Fraus novels. That's how he got famous. The commercials came later.

Well we know where some of Fabio's money went or goes...

Fabio, and he's with a woman!

Eww, he's old, fat and wearing mom jeans.

That pay walled article called him a Super Model. 🤣🤣🤣

Fabio's first modeling gig was for The GAP, and he was paid $150k. It's been off to the races ever since.

This is why Fabio has so much money..

"I remember the day when I went to Immigration Service with Fabio for his green card interview. The INS staff was so excited that I had to return the next day to give out dozens of signed photographs signed by Fabio to all of his fans.

Numerous ethnic newsletters and even the Wall Street Journal published the news of Fabio getting his green card on the front page."

Guy goes to get his green card and an entire INS office of fraus and queens cream their panties.

Chronicles of the Mane: A Tale of Romance and Margarine 🧈

A quote from one of the articles above: Throughout his extensive modeling career, Fabio encountered plenty of the most famous names in the business. In an interview with the Washington Post, Fabio shared his opinion when asked about Naomi Campbell. Fabio did not mince words and referred to her as the b-word.

Clooney and Fabio got into a scuffle at a Beverley Hills restaurant and had to be separated in 2007. Clooney, while dining with his girlfriend, suspected that Fabio’s nearby table was taking photos of them and flicked off the camera. Fabio went over to explain that they were taking pictures of each other, not Clooney. Fabio told Clooney he could teach him some manners.

Fabio probably was pissed that the great Naomi Campbell wasn't impressed with his manly advances. She probably barely gave him the time of day.

Or maybe she is really just the bitch EVERYBODY says she is^^^ plus he is gay and he probably did not hit on her plus he was not impressed with her diva act🙄

Honestly, he's never been my type.

I met him at a meet and greet. He swung his hair in my eye and I was diagnosed with a very bad case of lice eye.

Enjoy your youth while you're young.

(checks self in mirror) Feeling strangely great all of a sudden about the big 6-0.

He could be a fine 60yo daddy if he cut that fucking hair.

(correction: if he cut that fucking hair and dropped the International Male wardrobe. I'm not suggesting Bermuda shorts and support hose, but my god.)

Referencing the current trend of Brazilian butt lifts and fat-freezing treatments, Fabio said that you can 'work out and get a real butt' without it looking 'fake and phoney'.

'When you walk, it doesn't even move properly,' he laughed when describing a surgically enhanced derrière. 'It doesn't look real. It's awful. No, work out and it's going to be firm instead of being a wobbly thing that doesn't even move properly.

'40 or 50 years ago, they would put those people in the circus,' he added.

He isnt wrong R238 !

[quote]New (?) shots of Fabio. Looking good, but when were these taken (or how many filters did they use)?

Nope, Fabio posting his old shit here from 35 years ago. This is him today:

Still fuckable? When was Fabio ever fuckable?

Flabio.

He looks like an old lesbian who hasn't updated her look since 1985 but has the body of a 70 year old. Still trying to rock long hair oh my!

He's definitely an ass man. In that recent interview on Daily Mail, you can tell how much time he spends watching and analyzing asses, real and fake, and the way they move!
