PHOTOS, VIDEO: The Laz Alonso Hotness Covers "Rolling Out"

Oh-so-handsome Laz Alonso covers the new issue of ROLLING OUT. Laz is featured in a fashion editorial and chats up his upcoming film Jumping The Broom.

Laz does not consider himself a sex symbol. "In my personal life they know I’m just Laz. ... I gotta stay in shape for my profession, and I like the way my clothes fit. But I just appreciate that people feel I’m attractive."

Plenty of others may disagree. The former BET host and announcer co-starred as a buff Marine in Jarhead ... with considerably less clothing.

Rolling Out published three different Laz Alonso cover designs for nationwide distribution. One of the covers, two more images plus a behind-the-scenes video of the shoot AFTER THE JUMP ...

Laz Alonso in "Jarhead"

Just in case you haven't had enough of the sweaty torso or bootyshaking captures found in Jarhead's recent DVD release ... just a few more to add to your collection. We were about halfway through the movie before we realized why Laz Alonso's body face and captivating accent were so familiar: He's the former BET host and announcer and star of Leprechaun: Back 2 tha Hood. Probably our longtime BET producer friend knows him.

As Escobar, he's seen throughout the film, but, not too many opportunities in the buff. This is from the scorpion fight ("Always bet on black, baby!") sequence in the desert.

He's got one or two other buff scenes, but, this is probably one of the best—but definitely not the most homoerotic. Andy would probably agree that honor goes to his (clothed) scene with Jake Gyllenhaal where the two Marines pretended to umm, "perform a sex act" on each other. The action's kinda fast but we'll try to grab some caps.
