Pornstars are people too...and the gorgeous hunks that we idolize didn't always look like they do.  Many went through years of awkward stages and worked hard to achieve their sculpted bodies.  It can up to a decade and more to create a hunk.  There are different recipes for making a hunk but the most essential ingredient is time.

The most popular recipe for making a hunk uses a skinny twink or lanky lad as the base ingredient.  Superstar Ashton McKay started out as lean teen Marshall on Fratmen.  By the time he joined Corbin Fisher, he had put in some serious time at the gym and debuted as a full fledged hunk with rippling muscles and sexy facial hair.  Fratmen Ricky put on serious muscle mass right before our eyes along with facial hair and transformed from a lanky muscular jock into a dark and handsome muscle hunk.  For Campbell Stevens the process took years and by the time he transformed into muscle hunk Jake Wilder, he was completely unrecognizable from his awkward teen years as a skinny twink.  It was fitting that he changed his name to fit his new persona.  It took me a long time to realize that Fratmen Skylar grew up to be handsome blonde hunk Skot at Chaosmen.  One of my favorite transformations happened to Lucas Vick off camera during the years after Randy Blue.   After a 7 year hiatus from porn, he suddenly reappeared as a handsome and hairy muscle daddy with gorgeous muscles, fur and stubbles.

Instead of putting on muscles, another way pornstars have achieved their hunk status is through shedding excess weight and turning fat into muscle.  Sean Cody's Jay was a high school football player who was stocky, muscular but not defined.  But by the time he made his debut at Sean Cody, he was ripped and cheekbones emerged from his baby faced, chubby jock persona.  Mark Marin was another stocky muscular football player who got shredded in order to reveal his inner hunk.  Hunky ginger Canelo Ment from Gay Hoopla shared with me his before photo as a pudgy teen. before he decided to take up boxing which helped him shed the baby fat and transformed him in a muscular, wide shouldered, meaty-assed, muscle hunk.

For some, there is only so much you can do at the gym, but to reach hunk status, you need to enlist professional help.   Francesco Giovanni had a nose that was as distracting as his big cock.  After a nose job and possible jaw and chin work, he suddenly became the ultimate Italian Stallion with a gorgeous chiseled proportional face.  Julio Capeletti also underwent some cosmetic surgery after his debut in G Magazine and became a gorgeous male model.

Sometimes pornstars just need time to mature and to find their signature look to become a hunk.  Ryan Rose has always been muscular, but the added facial hair really changed his look and elevated him to hunk status.  Can you believe Jason Phoenix  and his huge cock was rejected by Sean Cody after his audition?  He grew out his body hair and added stubbles to his look and became a porn superstar.  Facial hair have done wonders for Colby Keller, Scott Ambrose, Diego Sans and helped many others quickly achieve hunk status.
