GRATUITOUS SKIN — Last night we sat through MTV’s new half-hour series The Buried Life, about four very attractive twentysomething white guys — Duncan, Ben, Dave, and Jonnie — who have a list of 100 things they want to do before they die. Like play basketball with President Obama, or give a toast at a stranger’s wedding. There’s a do-gooding aspect to the show, however; for each item they cross of their list, they help another person do one thing he wants to do before he dies. That the debut episode paired the foursome’s mission (crash a Playboy Mansion party) with a kindred soul’s mission (provide a computer to the elementary school children he teaches) to yield some awkward scene transitions (Playboy! … Kids! … Fake boobies! … Kids!) notwithstanding, the show also featured the four gents’ outrageous ploy to get inside Hugh Hefner’s grounds. One part of the plan involved hiding inside an oversided fake cake; the other involved Ben, the show’s narrator, pretending to be Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, whom Ben sort of resembles, and who happens to be the new face (abs? crotch?) of Emporio Armani. We’ll let you guess which of the two stunts actually succeeded (watch the ep here), but in the meantime, here’s Mr. Ronaldo.

Wow… he is such a handsome man.
FakeName
He doesn’t work posed. When he’s shot tearing his shirt off on a soccer field or getting a rubdown after a game he’s hot. Posed he looks stiff, uncomfortable, unsexy and plastic. The shaved pits don’t help.

It’s about time you posted these, Queerty. I’ve been jerking off to them for like a week.
Tackle
He does have a much better body than David Beckham.
McShane
He’s chunkier than Beck’s and darkly handsome. As #2 (above said he really is so pretty that he looks better out on the field, scruggy and swarthy. The make up, etc are just too much.
Jeff K.
He’s hot, but I prefer his teammate, Sergio Ramos. He’s adorable!
Devon
He looks much better without the airbrushing overdose.

More crap for MTV. MTV = More toilet vision.
GreatScot
who the EFF cares about MTV. this guy is amazing. and so much hotter than david beckham.
Michael W.
@GreatScot: Yeah, Beckham is so nasty looking with his ugly tattoos. He looks like a prison bitch.
Cristiano Ronaldo is damn near perfect.
Philip A.
