The Naked
Truth: Jim Andre

Jim Andre has been going to the gym for nearly 40 years, but that doesn't mean he likes it. "I'd rather eat less than have to exercise more," says the 60-year-old. Although he jokes that attempting vegetarian and raw-food diets "ruined my social life," he's found he stays healthiest by reading labels and cutting back on processed foods. "There is a lot of pressure in the gay community to try to maintain our looks and appearance, because sex is a big factor--for probably all men, but particularly gay men," he says. "There's that interest in being able to hook up or match up with people that we're interested in."

So is he attracted to his own physical type? "Absolutely not!" he says, laughing. "I'm more attracted to smooth, boyish types. I tend to get cruised by a lot of bigger, muscular guys, but it's just not my cup of tea." Andre says he's happy with his appearance for the most part. "My tendency is to be grateful that I'm in as good a shape and look as good as I do," he says. "Especially since I'm getting older." But he's intrigued by plastic surgery, which some of his close friends have undergone in an attempt to stave off the aging process. "Whether I would do it myself, I'm not sure," he muses. "It's not out of the question."
