I had considered using this for one of my Labor Day sets, but I decided that it was a gag shot.
It does (barely) fit today's lanky theme, however, so here it is.
Maybe this is a crappy scan or one made from a poor print, but the lack of clarity made me never even think of Bruce on this one. I might have recognized Scott, but I've never paid much attention to Chip.
At some point after Bruce Bellas's death, Scott gave an interview during which he talked about how he managed to get his two (straight) brothers, Chip and Toby, to pose full frontal for Bellas. By that time they could legally do so at age 18, although they looked young for their age. I have always wondered if their parents knew. That said, I have come across several references to parents in fact encouraging their sons to do nude work. One man whose name escapes me at the moment and who was one of the many through the AMG's shower, sent his adult son along to follow in his father's footsteps. And then we have the British John Hammill, whose mamma apparently drove him to John Barrington at age 15 because she thought it would help his budding bodybuilding career - although I doubt she thought he would be doing full frontal. So, it's always possible that ma and pa Cunningham were in the know and even approved.
I knew about John Hammill's mom. He claimed that the nude photos held back his movie career, and that could have been true. I have also read, however, that he wasn't that good as a actor.
Chip and Toby were lanky ectomorphs and Scotty was a buff.mesomorph and twice the size of his brothers. Chip and Toby took after one parent and Scotty took after the other parent. In the DNA lottery Scotty won ! -Rj/IE
Chip Cunningham (Scott's brother) in Bruce's backyard.

ReplyDeleteI clearly forgot to put my pen name. I had no intention of writing anonymously.
