10 PEOPLE TO MEET: JASON MUIRBROOK

post-40237-0-1446057799-34711_thumb.png

The male waif is dead and gone. All hail the neo-beefcake.

At least these are the words that resound in our heads in the presence of Mr Muirbrook. Perhaps we should drop the term “beefcake” altogether, as too much of that 1980s Venice Beach vision of the perfect male specimen springs to mind. A generation that is still lingering down there, looking a little out of breath. Sort of waddling, actually, so that their inner thighs don’t chafe so. Perhaps we should drop the whole beef metaphor, in fact. Yes, we really ought to as Mr Muirbrook is redefining the male physical ideal not only with his own body (he looks “ripped” but still lean enough to fit into a pair of Saint Laurent trousers), but also with the bodies of those celebrities we have spent whole hours of our lives wishing we looked like. He is literally forging our dreams through the pumping of iron and a host of probably far more complex activities. Need to get into optimum shape for your next role in that big-budget superhero flick, in which you’ll inevitably have to don some kind of catsuit? Muirbrook is your man. An especially nice, refreshingly honest man at that.

 

How long have you lived in LA?

“Five years.”

Why did you move to LA?

“I love the sun. And of course LA is the mecca of fitness.”

What’s your favourite thing to do in LA?

“To go to Nike Town.”

How would you define yourself?

“I’m very shy.”

Why did you decide to do what you do?

“I was badly bullied as a kid. I imagined the bigger and stronger I became the less they would pick on me. It didn’t exactly work as planned at the time, but I could probably kick their asses now.”

What would you say are the essentials to becoming famous in your profession?

“Abs of steel, being superhuman and having perfectly manicured hair.”

What do you do to relax?

“I work out. It’s the time I get for myself each day and I love it.”

What do you do for fun?

“Drink, eat, sleep.”

Is there anything you would like to do but never seem to have the time?

“Eat, drink, sleep.”

What is the most ridiculous rumour you’ve heard about yourself? Is it true?

“Everyone thinks I don’t eat. I eat constantly.”

Have you ever been to Disneyland?

“I’ve never been. Oops.”

Health food or champagne?

“Health food, but tequila on the rocks is my weakness.”
