If you know Billy Reilich (aka Nick the Gardener), it’s from The Ellen Show, a show which occasionally features him parading around shirtless and making audiences shriek.
Now, Reilich is set to star in E!’s dubious new reality series, What Happens In The Abbey, which centers on the popular West Hollywood nightclub that employs Reilich as a “VIP server,” whatever that is.

— we thought it couldn’t hurt to see what the guy’s been up to lately, and whether or not he’s found time to make it to the gym.
Take a look at some pics from his Instagram account below:

Be proud of what you have achieved… but don’t let it go to your head, and especially don’t start trashing others whose physique doesn’t match up to your expectations.
Personally, I’m tired of beefcake pics. Not complaining about them, just sort of tired of seeing them, they have no more effect on me. mostly because I become frustrated that I simply will never achieve that type of physique, or even anything remotely approaching it.
I am, however, pretty sick of how the younger gay male community gauges all of self-worth on matching as closely as possible this type of overly-developed muscularity.
Once you’re over 30-35 you’re too old, and it seems almost every guy over 35 is looking for a 20-yr old. There’s something wrong with a society that so idolizes youth and everything related to it.

That’s a steroid body.
ChrisK
Possible but usually in a steroided bodies you’ll see over emphasized vascularity. I don’t see that.
ChrisK
Another site I go on and the average age is about 60 something and they’ll obsesses on the 20 somethings. Some of them can’t be with anyone their own age. I just cringe.
whatsaywhat
@ChrisK Look at the second and third images (i.e. the ones that AREN’T photo-shopped). He’s full of juice. Not much of an “achievement” after all, is it?
ChrisK
I hear you. I was the idiot that used to read the muscle books. You too can look like me. Just buy my book and follow my advice. No where was steroids ever mentioned. Years later I find out that they all were juicing. F*ckers.

@ChrisK “Possible but usually in a steroided bodies you’ll see over emphasized vascularity. I don’t see that.”
I see it in the third pic.

All hot men
pscheck2
doesn’t do much for me! He is ‘well done’; I like them ‘medium rare!’ lol
crowebobby
I like human males. I don’t know exactly what these are, but they don’t look like any human males I’ve seen in my 80 years
scotshot
He’s too much for me. Personal taste – not ripping on him. Prefer more oaf a swimmer’s body.
scotshot
I actually don’t prefer oafs! /s
ProfessorMoriarty
Me either crowebobby in my 53! And serious question here: is it normal that his abs don’t line up? They kinda “stair-step” from one side to the other.
He’s definitely pretty when he doesn’t mess with the weirder hairstyles.
CanadianGuy62
Yawn. ?

MAJOR steroid use and the show looks like a twisted gay version of The Real World meets the Horrible Hollywood Housewives. Keep feeding middle America the gay stereotype and with Trump in office we can set the gay rights clock to 1965. WHY WHY WHY is this shit all the networks can come up with??

Ironically, gay men have the worst taste in men. They like them overly done and way, way out of proportion. The tits are like Dolly’s, biceps massive with slight forearms, and stick legs. Yuck.
I think it’s because many gay men are insecure with their own masculinity, so they need these jacked up bozos to compensate.
I much prefer baseball players, who are buff but still in proportion, or best of all, Tom Hanks in Joe Versus the Volcano. Yeah.
scotshot
Homosexuals and heterosexuals both go to extremes. Are you psychic to be able to look at a photo and figure the person’s reasons for whatever?
Note: It’s pecs, not tits.
Billy Budd
I don’t find him attractive or beautiful at all. He has too much muscle and his face is ugly. I am overweight but I consider myself more beautiful than him. At least I am normal. I prefer the swimmer’s build like the other reader said.
drelocks15
I’m sorry…more beautiful than him? LOL Who says that?
ChrisK
Oh please. You prefer young boys.
He BGB
What’s it like to be around those guys? Always talking about their looks, their muscles, what they eat (in food that is)? If you could tolerate that, it might be fun for a roll in the hay. But otherwise, I like great conversation about anything but someone’s great bod. If they have both brains and brawn fine. BTW I noticed Ellen really going out of her way to objective men lately. Even though she has Pamela Anderson parade in front of an audience in a bikini or Nicky Minaj, bare her udders, she still has alot of bodybuilders on her show prancing around! Lol.
Jack Meoff
I know what you mean BGB these guys are good for sex but not as boyfriends. Just enjoy them and then move on.
cutterq
I fired him as my gardener. He didn’t know a damn thing about gardening.
Terrycloth
I say he has a serious bodybuilding addiction…he’s gone to extremes. He was fine on Ellen now he looks gross…he should have stopped a while ago…

Apparently, The Abbey will be the gay version of Vanderpump Rules. I’ll pass.
