The beau, ladies and I ended up going to see Dolphin Tale last night, and although I’m going to share my thoughts on that movie (along with Moneyball, as I’ve seen that movie recently as well) in an upcoming post I couldn’t help but get inspired to put this post together.
While we were watching the previews beforehand, the one above caught my eye. Even though I’m a fan of Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton, what really caught my eye was an actor by the name of Jeremy Jordan who’s playing a relation of Dolly’s in the movie. He’s apparently done a few other things in his acting career but I wasn’t aware of him till now. He’s quite handsome though, don’t you think? What I found surprising is that I’m familiar with two other Jeremy Jordans in my popular culture history.
The second Jeremy Jordan is one most of the gay community should know if you’re in any way familiar with the gay porn scene. Doing his work from 1999-2006, he was a pretty popular model for Falcon Studios and won a number of awards within the adult film world. My ex was a huge fan of his work and followed him through the years. He’s fell out of the spotlight after his breakup with fellow film star Jason Hawke, but I’ve heard rumor he’s been showing up on Cam4 recently (if you’re familiar with that site –adult oriented so please be 18+). I haven’t seen him there yet but I’m kinda on the lookout as I’m curious about how he’s been doing lately. Born just a couple weeks before me, and a smallish guy like me, I feel a sense of community with my fellow twinks.

The Jeremy Jordan I’m ultimately familiar with and is the very first person I think of when hearing the name is of the singer turned actor. He had a big hit in the song “The Right Kind of Love” and I remember watching the music video for the song around 15 years old and having a huge crush on the boy as he showed his abs, chest and slick blonde hair. It’s a great song and it prompted me to re-download it after reminding myself just how much I enjoyed it back in the day (1993). He’s been in a number of movies as well, the most notable probably being Never Been Kissed. In any case, he’s still quite handsome and working quite regularly (for someone who isn’t a top-bill actor or character actor).
Seeing Joyful Noise‘s Jeremy sent me on this journey of the Jeremys and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did…well, probably not as much as me considering it was my rabbit hole of thinking. But thank you just the same lol
I’ll leave you now with the final Jeremy’s song that has been in my head for the last 24 hours and how I prefer to remember him.
A Bit of Ste - Revisited 
OH MY STARS!!!! I LOVED ME SOME JEREMY JORDAN WHEN I WAS A TEENAGER. I couldn’t get enough of him and David Silver.
I will be singing “The Right Kind of Love” in my head the rest of the day.
You’re welcome for that! Are you referring to 90210 David silver? 😛
That is the only David Silver that exists in my universe!! Oh he’s so dreamy. Think I might watch some old 90120 on the Soap Network this weekend 🙂
Haha did you catch him on desperate housewives? He’s still freaking hot!
I know this is a long time ago post but I remember when I was a kid, I had to sing a bit of “wannagirl” to the sales lady from a record store so she can help me find the artist and she did and so that day I bought Jeremy jordan’s cassette of his Try my love album lol. i always had a crush on Jeremy (Donald Henson). I envision his strong arms holding me hahhaa . i just wish his album at least went top ten especially in North america. and higher peak for his hit singles! but 1993 was a big year for Whitney, Janet, Jade, SWV. Too much competition. But I will always have a crush on Jeremy Jordan especially the 92 -93 era.
Omg you don’t know how much novelty I just got seeing your comment. Bringing back so many memories and a want to be writing again ! Thanks for taking a chance on a long ago post !
