Govinda

Govinda

I just had to post this. Its hard to believe there was ever a time when Govinda wasn't a bloated oink. But when he first started off in Bollywood, back in the 80s, he has slim and trim, lean and mean. An amazing dancer with a puffy bouffant hair that was so omnipresent in the 80s. Here he is shirtless and lookin' cute. Kinda. Wish he had maintained himself as he's a talented chap. Naturally hairless too. Waxing wasn't done back then as it is now.

This is between his thin and chubby days. Tsk. Ah well. An acquired taste. And somethin' for chubby chasers ;)
