Reality Check?



I remember right after "The Real World" Chicago ended I started seeing Chris Beckman all around town. I think I'd heard he'd moved here to pursue his art career, which you can read more about here. Unlike most people you see on television, Chris was even bigger, taller and more handsome in person. I was smitten. Although I never got the chance to talk to him, later I wondered if maybe it was better that I'd always lusted him from afar because I couldn't help but think that the Real World Guy character in Tom Dolby's "The Trouble Boy" was based -- at least in part -- on Mr. Beckman. In interviews I've seen that Tom says no, but still I wonder ... nobody could be that cute and not having something wrong with him :-)

Chris is best friends with former Falcon pornstar, now bareback pornstar Jason Tyler. I use to see them both at Steamworks here in Chicago while they were filming RW Chgo. His real life character was A LOT different than his RW character.

regardless, he's so cute I can't take it!

He and Jason were friends way before Real World. They still are friends. Chris loves a good party and being the "center" of attention.

The other guy, it took me a second to process why he looked so familiar, and of course, it's my friend Brandon after his stint on Survivor, terrible photos of him though, he's much cuter in person, honestly.

Yes Chris does like being the center of attention, I have seen him on a private video, on his back, and a fist up his center...
