Not the actor
John Davidson (no, not that John Davidson) looks a wee bit sullen.
Perhaps he'd just got wind of the fact he was going to be shipped out to Vietnam. He died in Guam of meningitis before seeing action, I believe at the age of 24. I am quite sure that his brief modelling career which nonetheless made him one of the most popular physique models of all time was down to his raunchiness so out of keeping with his baby faced looks. RIP, Butch (as he was always known).
Yes, that's a rare expression for John Davidson, who normally did "lewd" with aplomb.
ReplyDeletePerhaps an "off" moment?
