Nick Adams Tops Mario Lopez
The war between A Chorus Line costars Mario Lopez and Nick Adams continues!
We all know that Lopez stopped Adams' biceps from stealing the show, but apparently the former Saved By The Bell actor can't control everything.
Underwear company 2(x)ist had been considering Lopez for an upcoming ad campaign, however the younger Adams landed the gig.
"Mario was originally No. 1 on our radar as we planned the campaign," said an insider. "We were ready to call him with an offer, but then we saw Nick. He's younger, sexy, more interesting. On top of that, his body was crazy. We set up a meeting, and when he walked in, that was it. We never even looked at anyone else after that."Jason Scarlatti, 2(x)ist's creative director, gave final approval. He told us, "Nick's very masculine, sexy, modern. It's totally all about his body. Mario is a good-looking guy, but Nick had it. He's up and coming, the new face of sexy. He's original. He's hot."
So hot, in fact, that we featured him on Morning Goods just this week!
The aforementioned ad, meanwhile, will debut in Out's August issue.

Mario is already too old for 2xist. Wow!!! Well, he can model those underwear at my house any day. Come over Mario!
I think they made a mistake. This kid looks one step away from Mr Hyde in The League of Extraordinary Gentleman. Mario is classically built and cuddly. Despite his age, he is incredibly youthful looking.
Of course I am a little biased. I have been a fan of Mario since the SBTB episode with him in a wrestling singlet in the lockerroom.
But still, those picts of Nick earlier this week, did nothing for me.
“We were ready to call [Mario] with an offer, but then we saw Nick. He’s younger, sexy, more interesting." And MUCH, MUCH cheaper.
Meh. I know he's supposed to be the NKOTB, but I'd have looooved to have seen Mario in the ads.
Damn.
Too Old!!! He is only 35, I am 39 and so tired of hearing that being over 35 makes you old especially in the gay community. I am not a big fan of Mario Lopez but you have to admit the man looks good. I think I own one pair of 2(x)ist, but I won't own any more.
2(x)ist is using this as PR hype. What they should be concerned about are the PC pictures they use to promote their product. Notice how the models (hawt guys, to be fair) are subtly photoshopped so that only a generic bulge appears. Compare those boring pictures with AX, Aussiebum or Ginch-Gonch. As a gay man, I loooove a little (or, a lot)VPL!
i like the decision. give a new kid a chance. maybe my generation just has a short attention span, but i'm always looking for something new to fixate on!
I am loving it! Mario's narcissism makes him really unattractive to me. I am sucker for pretty man but a shitty attitude will ruin it every time for me.
oh, and i'm over 2(x)ist anyhow. very into C-IN2 these days. when did underwear companies starting naming themselves after chemical equations??
They both need to be commando in my bedroom, but I do favor Mario.
Is it bad that I still wear hanes?
My arab friends all tell me that it's much better for your nauty bits to wear a chemise and let the privates fly free. Much heatjier according to DR.s too.
Of course here everyone would think I was in drag.
Ben Daniels is older then either one of these two chorus boys. He is a much better actor and is infinitely hotter then both of them combined.
Oh, and he gets naked on stage.
Mario doesn't have a narcissistic attitude. He is incredibly friendly and kind, and the hottest thing you will ever see in person.
Thanks JoJoJo. Give me a 3 pack of Hanes any day. $20-$30 underwear??? Who needs 'em. They're only gonna get ripped off anyway…and I don't mean stolen at the gym.
There is a poll about this here, Mario vs. Nick. There needs to a "both" option.
