Bodybuilders - Part 1

 Rick Wayne

Today I am launching a new series, Bodybuilders, featuring men who compete in bodybuilding contests, and who have also been photographed naked.

Bodybuilder Rick Wayne, above, was born as Learie Carasco on the island of St. Lucia in 1938.  In 1951 he emigrated to England.  He was spotted singing in a club by a record producer who renamed him Ricky Wayne (a combination of Ricky Nelson and John Wayne).  His records were not commercially successful, but he began entering bodybuilding contests in the 1960s. He won the Mr. World contest in 1967, above.

He also posed nude for French photographer Jean Ferrero in the 1960s.

I have so many nude photos of him by Ferrero that I narrowed them down to (mostly) those that include the shadow of a certain body part, which should appeal to a certain viewer.

Rick Wayne's bodybuilding contest titles include Mr. Europe (1964), Mr. Universe (1965, 1967, 1969) and Mr. World (1967, 1970).

He is also the author of several articles and books on bodybuilding.

In the 1980s he moved back to St. Lucia and founded a publishing company that produces the newspaper St. Lucia Star.

The St. Lucia Star is a hard-hitting paper that has angered both political parties on the island by exposing corrupt politicians.

That's because Rick Wayne's position is to be ... upright.

I see he has shortened his pubic hair. (#2 & #7, for example)

This promises to be an interesting path, Larry. I'll be looking forward to following it.

Was surprised....pleasantly....that Rick Wayne allowed himself to be photographed sporting an erection (final photo). Looking forward to more bodybuilder photos.

They aren't my aesthetic. That said, good on him for doing something positive after the career is over by starting the newspaper and exposing corruption. The world need more like him.

I always enjoy seeing naked males. That last picture with his erect penis is very appealing. Very, very nice!

Very nice, new category Larry.

I like the first nude photo the best; I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of the overbuilt look...

I love the background info and history though

Do professional bodybuilders shave off all their pubic hair before competitions? I know they shave their arms, legs, chests, etc., but wasn't sure about the pubic hair.

If there are lots of them: May I request a one or two pictures showing the ass of Mr. Wayne please? A quick search engine of him nude is all frontal. Maybe they don't exist, awww.

@Ike - All the photos of him that I have are frontal. Sorry.
