MANILA, Philippines—Take a drive along EDSA, and chances are, a billboard of a scantily clad man with well-oiled muscles will catch your attention.
The next question that will inevitably crop up is: are the photos for real, or is Dantes’ body merely a product of airbrushed wizardry, like many other (not-so-fit) celebrities?
However, the behind-the-scenes photos from his recent billboard shoot with Bench (Dantes is the latest endorser of their underwear line) prove that the sculpted abs and pecs are the product of long hours at the gym and not Photoshop artistry.
Want to know more about our pick for this week’s Boys of Summer 2008? Read on to find out about Dingdong Dantes’ workout routine, personal style and his favorite summer haunts.
What is your fitness regimen?
I make sure to go to the gym at least three times a week. Most of my workout is spent on the treadmill, where I run for at least one hour each time.
What is your personal style, and what clothes do you usually wear?
I’m pretty laid back. Lately, I’ve been wearing more of slacks, casual shirts from Bench, and shoes that don’t need socks.
What is your favorite wardrobe for the summer?
I like looking fresh, so I go for white V-neck shirts to look and feel cool.
What do you like seeing on girls during the summer?
Girls with short dresses catch my eye the most.
What scent do you like for yourself?
For myself it would have to be Creed. On girls? It doesn’t matter, as long as they smell good.
