Quel beau mec!

Vintage body builder?

I would say this guy is way over dressed for film editing and splicing. He does look very good doing it.

Navy dive training 1954. Those small khaki shorts had no liner so if a guy’s stuff would fall out sometimes. I had a Navy diver friend who wore these shorts hiking. When we were doing some boulder climbing his balls would slip out one side while stepping up to the next rock.

Hardly overdressed. That is how people went to work. And especially in Hollywood.

How beautiful. Thank you for sharing these unique photos!

Very well said.. I agree. I would note that it wasn't necessarily related same sex people in old photos but possibly in this one just companions. It was very common in the 18th/19th century for same sex men or women to share sleeping/living quarters, escort each other socially, eat together and form very strong relationships throughout their lives. It was just out of necessity but could have turned into a sexual relationship though. Documented and rumored examples would be Abraham Lincoln and J Edgar Hoover although in Hoovers case he did leave his estate to his companion and he was giving the flag that draped Hoovers coffin...?

Yes, I think the original type of bromance might have been aided by circumstances of those times, and even potential bisexualism since there was likely more sexual expression of same sex intimacy again due to circumstances of depravity and even possibly rising middle-classes.

The climate must have been much cooler at the beach in those days.
