Our New Crush Florian “Big Nasty” Munteanu

What looks like an impossible embarrassment of movie casting riches, the trailer for Borderlands dropped and we are gagging...for many different reasons. This sci-fi, action/comedy flick looks insane featuring Cate Blanchett, our fabulous ally Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Black, gay crush Cheyenne Jackson, Barbie's Ariana Greenblatt, and our new mega man crush, German boxer-turned-actor, Florian Munteanu...known by his ring name, "Big Nasty." We can only hope and guess as to how he got his boxing name.

Directed by horror hottie Eli Roth, the film is based on the video game of the same name. According to the Lionsgate synopsis, the film will feature this ragamuffin group as they “battle an alien species and dangerous bandits to uncover one of Pandora's most explosive secrets." Not Pandora, the streaming service, but Pandora an abandoned planet. Yes, the film looks amazing, no, we haven't played the game. But what we are really drooling over is Florian, all masked and muscled and ready to fulfill our BDSM fantasies. I mean, look at this hunk of man.

Where did this hunk of a man come from? This 6 ft 4 in beefcake hails from Germany, and took to boxing in the footsteps of his father, also a boxer. During his time in boxing, he garnered the name of Big Nasty. Hopefully, he got it in the locker room. Not much personal is known about him, not even any hint of who he is dating or who he has dated. Please, oh please, let that mean something gay.

His first film role was in Bogat, a 2016 German-Romanian film shot in Munich. After that, he was discovered by Sylvester Stallone who was looking for a European boxer to appear in his film, Creed II. Check out the hot sweaty footage, courtesy of Mr. Man.

From there, he went on to Creed III and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. He's a bonafide action star! We can only hope that the Borderlands film will be as fun as it looks Some thirsty gays have commented that it's a shame they have covered up his handsome face with a mask. But hey, anonymity has its thrill, no? Plus, his handsome mug is captivating and so with the mask, we can just focus on his bulging...muscles.
