Bob great stuff about the old stars...

Johnny Weissmuller didn’t just play Tarzan. He thought he was
Tarzan. He had this magnificent physique and he was very strong – six feet
four inches, with muscles that rippled and flexed as he moved. Heaven knows,
he was handsome. He had a classic profile and he loved to pose. He thought
he was God’s gift to women. The holder of many US and world swimming
records, he had been the gold medalist in the 100-meter freestyle, at the
Paris Olympics in 1924, and again in Amsterdam in 1928. In 1932 he donned a
loincloth for the first time as Tarzan the Ape Man, a role he
repeated many times in his career on and off the screen.


Later on Weissmuller also played a character named Jungle Jim, who was really
nothing more than Tarzan with his clothes on – not that he wanted
to keep his clothes on. He had remarkable genitalia that he loved to exhibit
and was constantly stripping his clothes to his swimsuit and beyond so that
everyone could appreciate his extraordinary male attributes. It was his way
of saying, “Look at me. I was made perfect. God gave me everything a man
could dream of having.”

This thread is rather surprising, teo. I thought you would be more into Jane that Tarzan. What gives.

Well I was a Tarzan fan and I always thought he was like the Lone Ranger, very wholesome and moral. He used to talk to boy and give lessons in good behavior on the show. Kind of like finding out Rock Hudson was gay. The rest of those stories sure show that the stars couldn't keep their hands off each other very long....Hollywood got a head start ruining the morals of America .

I dunno. Looks like sagging pecs to me. And no definition to his abs.





Plus Boy sure has his hand very close to Tarzan's "remarkable genitalia". Maybe Weismuller was studying for the priesthood. lol

Yes and Jane was a hottie... I spent a few nights with her in my dreams.
