Hottie McHotness Paul Walker is featured on the cover and in the pages of Men’s Health magazine. This particular issue of Men’s Health is devoted to Style and, apparently, Walker is a stylish enough guy for the mag. Here is his coverphoto and some excerpts from his coverstory interview:
On being a gearhead: “The more you’re under fire, the cooler you are,” Walker says of surfing. “Fifteen feet is now where I draw the line. But 15 feet is big — you’re on the edge, and the water is only 6 or 7 feet deep until it’s jagged coral. It’s inevitable: I always get cut, on my feet, on my arms, and on my hands. It’s like hitting concrete. And that means you have to be on your game. If you hesitate, you go down hard.” The same principle guides Walker when he’s out of the water: Be aggressive, or stay home.
On being a humanitarian: “For Walker, that step up is REACT (Rapid Emergency Assistance Care Team), a group of EMTs and health-care professionals that he helped found. The group’s goal is to air-drop into disaster zones the minute the news hits the wires — ahead of the larger, less mobile emergency teams.”
“I’m a doer, and whether it was the tsunami in Sri Lanka or the earthquake in Indonesia, I was always saying, ‘I should be there; I should be helping out,’” Walker recalls. So he connected the dots. “My mother’s a nurse, my sister’s going to nursing school right now, and my friends have construction backgrounds. God willing, the next time there’s a natural disaster I’m going to be there with 11 or 14 people and a handful of doctors,” he says. “And the next time, it’ll be 150 people with 30 to 35 doctors.”
NB: Paul recently went to Haiti with his team to help setting tents, provide food and medical care for the victims of the earthquake, he also donated money.
On living in the Jungle, near terrorists: “ONE MAN’S DUMP IS ANOTHER’S PARADISE. So it is with Paul Walker’s vacation home: a construction site in Indonesia clogged by jungle brush. The neighbors are terrorists and the place is accessible only via clandestine transport by local villagers. Call it a fixer-upper. “It’s been a lot of work,” says Walker, 36, of his latest project. “I came here thinking it would be my own secret island — heaven on earth. But there wasn’t even access from the road; I literally had to bulldoze one. But it’s worth it. This place is one of the most beautiful on earth, if not the most beautiful — especially for the price.” “It’s warm here, but it just pisses rain nonstop — lightning storm after lightning storm,” he says. “And working in the rain, I have to tell you, is not easy. I don’t have electricity. I use candlelight. I cook over an open fire, the traditional way. I harvest my rice, dry it out, beat it, and cook it up. I dive for lobster and octopus. If I did that year round, the novelty would wear off, but to come here for a couple, 3 weeks at a time, it’s perfect.”
Sigh … this man is very nice to look at … I rarely pay any attention to what he says but I am very impressed that he made his way to Haiti to help with the earthquakes victims there. He’s pretty AND big-hearted. After the jump, check out a couple photos from Paul Walker‘s Men’s Health photospread that show just how pretty he really is … More »
