Francesco Coco: On an Island and in the Shower

By: Lotte Cox | October 8th, 2008

Former Italy defender Francesco Coco — that’s him in front — has dreams of a career in Hollywood. So far, though, all he’s got to show for himself in the showbiz world is a stint on last season’s L’Isola dei Famosi, during which he lounged around on a remote island, Survivor-style, minimizing his trunks for a proper, all-over tan, and being appreciated by other men. If that’s not a perfect start for a Hollywood career, I don’t know what is.

Back before he was retired and waxed as hairless as a baby’s bottom, Coco was just the sort of player who appeared in Dolce & Gabbana’s amazing football books, usually wearing little and, when everything was absolutely perfect, standing soaking wet, in a seedy-looking locker room. Proof under the cut, plus a bonus, fully-clothed, bloody one, if you’re into that sort of thing.

    Oh, my Lord, that shower shot is Sporn City. Not that I’m complaining, mind.

    Also, a question: How did he stay so perfectly waxed on a desert island?

    Laurie, I’m pretty sure a full waxing kit was the prize for the first challenge… well, it came down to wax or fire, the man clearly knows his priorities.

    I think one could make a pretty good argument that Coco actually personifies Sporn, what with the persistent rumors about his sexuality and his pleasing willingness to be photographed nearly-naked. (Not, as you say, that I’m complaining.)

    And I was wondering the same thing! Maybe he won a luxury competition and chose waxing as his reward?

    Well, at least there has been some major “man-scaping” between the shower picture and the hug one.

    And maybe it was not waxing, just after-hours tweezer parties. Or maybe someone fashioned clippers out of shells and coconuts (alla Gilligan’s Island).

    Very welcome, Lissetta!

    Johanna, I like the idea of all the brilliant, semi-celeb minds on the island focused on solving the problem of Coco’s all-over stubble. I’d totally watch that show.
