If you live across the pond or are lucky enough to receive Sky One on satellite, you're undoubtedly familiar with Gladiators' David Mcintosh (Wiki), the hot-ta-def Royal Marine Commando known as Tornado. The ridiculously handsome tatted muscleboy models an impressive pair of red boxing boots in the latest AXM. McIntosh was one of several British celebs to strip down and raise awareness for cancer research in an editorial lensed by photographer Cameron McNee.
More Tornado WHEN YOU JUMP.
This isn't the first time McIntosh—who (unfortunately) is straight—has stripped down and bared his muscles for the gays. McIntosh "has been given time off by military bosses to take part in the 15-week" taping of Gladiators and was reportedly hired to "sex up" the show and attract more gay viewers. It's working.

Wow. The American military would probably court martial a Marine who was posing in Out or Instinct. The Brits gave a far superior attitude.

very hot but hotter without the tattoos

That is a beautiful. Be all you can be!
I bet the American generals would have a heart attack if one of their soldiers were so openly homoerotic.

If this young man is a British marine why would they allow him to pose in this magazine? Isn't it the English equivalent of Out?

Care to elaborate Nick?
David McIntosh looks might good from here.

This man looks amazing his body is perfect. I wonder how much photoshop or air brushing did they do. Either way he looks great
Posted by: True | 25 September 2008 at 10:11
He does look amazing! Our Gladiators need him on board! Now I do believe our Military would see this offensive but not necessary Gay. It would be not becoming of an soldier posing in such a manner. Now if another guy was in the photo then it could be interpret as an act. I do believe that is how it goes. Great eye again Rod!

He's straight? Yeah, child, so were about 200 men I had in the 70s, early 80s(or did they have me) Then, I stopped...for a while.
Under the right circumstances aint no man all 100% hetero--not even them big-bellied, Bush ass-kissin', anti-human rights for gays, evangelical nigra and cracka pastors. You know, Sarah Palin kind of pastors.

No. Just meh.

I'm fascinated by these black male actors and singers who routinely appear in the Brit gay mags. And take their shirts and pants off for the boys! Black male celebs almost never do that here, with the exception of Rockmond Dunbar and Jensen Atwood.
Great find Rod and keep up the international coverage. It's very obvious the USA is not as advanced as we pretend.

I'm with Nick. Another exotic muscleboy on Rod 2.0.
Next.
Posted by: ACH | 25 September 2008 at 11:25
HOLY CRAP! It just keeps getting better and better.
Posted by: freeleo | 25 September 2008 at 11:26
WOW.
Posted by: TheRevKev | 25 September 2008 at 11:54
"Exotic muscleboy?" LOL
McIntosh is black and from Manchester. The city and the UK have a sizeable black population. It's not like he is black and from Finland or Brazilian or something.
There are more dimensions to being black than hood culture and Noah's Arc.

Thank Rod.... don't stop!
This 22 year old Tornado is beautiful!
He's my type.
Posted by: anti-believer | 25 September 2008 at 12:52
i was thinking the same thing. the only thing exotic about this man is, well, nothing. he's just a beautiful black man from across the pond. some of yall should breathe.
Posted by: freeleo | 25 September 2008 at 14:37
For some of us older folk, it's still a little 'unusual' to see black people from 'white countries' like England (or that black gay activist in Poland Rod reported on a while back. Brazil, btw, wouldn't be as 'odd' since it has one of the largest African-descended populations outside the Mother Continent)
But we're catching up/catching on: Global Blackness! (and Global Phyneness! Oh, I love the Marines!:) See, THIS is what happens when you drop "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" -- military men want to start showing what they got to ev'body!!
Posted by: ReggieH | 25 September 2008 at 16:19
Beautiful composition.
He is visually beautiful/appealing big difference from being internally beautiful though.
For crying out loud ROD is very diverse in his postings, what is wrong with people?
What does meh mean?
Is a America a Black country?
Posted by: Lang B. | 25 September 2008 at 21:15
The picture weirdly looks like the penis was deliberately airbrushed out.
Very distracting.
The body is sitting. otherwise.
