Naked Heston Photo at Last! Get 'Hur'!

Posted by Michael Musto at 12:09 PM, April 23, 2008


Click to enlarge!

Remember when I wrote that I remembered some kind of shot of Charlton Heston naked—when he was alive, that is? Well, a dear friend, Times-Picayune writer David Cuthbert, unearthed the photo (from a book called Hollywood Life) and nicely sent me a xerox of it, so I'm throwing it up for you without a second's delay. Contrary to my delusional memory, Charlton isn't completely nude, but judging from that rocket in the towel, he might as well be! Hubba hubba.

WOW !!! He was hot hot hot. Thanks for posting this. I deleted a lot of my nude celeb pix because I questioned their authenticity (photo shop). But this is the REAL DEAL.

When knew him so well. That's him for sure...

Now if he'd learned to keep his gun under wraps, we might not have had to deal with his presidency of the National Rifle Association all those years.
Perhaps the early stages of Alzheimer's made a sneak peak before this photo was taken and he merely forgot his clothes.

It's a lovely shot, but he's no Aldo Ray. If you can get your hands on one of the NON-photoshopped nude photos of Aldo, he was delicious in his youth. No wonder homo director George Cukor "mentored" him.

Yes, yes, Trixie, Aldo Ray, what a hunk 'o man. Much hotter than Heston. Big hairy Brooklyn Italian trade (I believe).

Michael -- is the "get hur" line a homage to the show of the same name by the now-defunct (but warmly remembered) gay Brit theater troupe Bloolips?

Yeah...looking at this makes me want to forgive all those other Republican sins!

Posted by: CZ at April 23, 2008 4:56 PM

No, I thought it up all myself!

Posted by: musto at April 23, 2008 4:59 PM

Didn't the well-hung Aldo make porno films before he died? I've always wanted to see one.

Posted by: The Late Tallulah Bankhead at April 23, 2008 5:01 PM

Tallu,
One would hope that Ray made porno before he died!

Posted by: GiorgioNYC at April 23, 2008 11:29 PM

Don't know about Aldo but there IS! a Brad Pitt starring porno flick floating around.

Who took this picture? Was this a publicity shot for a movie?

Posted by: Chad Sexington at April 24, 2008 11:26 AM

I love Michael Musto.

I remember seeing Planet of the Apes in its first theatrical release at the age of 8.

I seem to remember at least one full-frontal scene of Heston as Taylor.

This was shortly before the ratings system went into effect.

Does anyone else remember this ?

BTW, my memory of events from that age is quite good. College years not so much.
