Roberto Cavalli, 72, wears animal-print swim trunks in Monaco: would you hit it?

Here are some photos of Roberto Cavalli on his yacht in Monaco with a very young woman who may or may not be related to him (Cavalli has a large extended family). Do these photos gross you out? I can’t help it, I’m enjoying them. I get a perverse enjoyment from them because this is the dream for so many men. They want to be tan and rich and own a yacht. They want to always have nubile young women around them, even when they are well into their 70s, which Cavalli is – he’s 72 years old. This is George Clooney in 20 years. This is like what would happen if Roger Sterling was real. And isn’t that funny? Those kinds of guys actually think they look cool. And most of the time, the people around them agree.

These photos sort of remind me of those Giorgio Armani mankini photos I covered several years ago. Mr. Armani was wearing a baggy (!!) speedo and it looked like a diaper and the whole thing was just… not good. But really, these photos might be worse, I think. Roberto’s swim trunks are animal print!! RAWR. And his girlfriend/possible granddaughter seems into to it too. And by “into it” I mean “she looks like his nurse as she helps him out of the ocean.”

Sometimes when I see a dude and my first impression is “ugh, gross,” my second instinct it to play a little game with my disgust. The game: what would it take for me to marry and/or sleep with the dude? Roberto Cavalli is rich, for sure. He’s got a yacht, he parties in all of the hot spots, and I’ve never heard of him mistreating his ladies. So if he Indecent Proposal’d you, would you take the money? How much money would it take? $1 million? $10 million? Before you come up with a monetary value, take a gander of his backside.

    Good lord, I’m just amazed that he can still dive like that. I seriously hope that that’s one of his relatives with him…what is it about rich, wrinkly, old guys who have young girlfriends? Do they just not care anymore about what people are saying about them, as long as they get a piece of that?

    I would personally be embarrassed, but whatever floats his boat.

    • Willa says:

      Did he dive in or fall in?! 😉

    • RocketMerry says:

      I hope that’s a relative of his, granddaughter or something; he’s married, though I think he was known to have had a fling with a Russian model in the past…? Or maybe he divorced and got a girlfriend.

      I must say, for his age he seems pretty active. I cannot dive for the life of me and I’m in my 20s!
      Also, loving the signature Cavalli animal-print 🙂

  2. Meredith says:

    He seems pretty active – swimming, diving, etc.. So yeah maybe. It’s a nice yacht and it’s helpful that he’s not going the usual old man route with board shorts that come up to his chest.

    • jaye says:

      God bless him for staying active, but you just know that without those trunks his testes are swinging between his knees. Gah! I just threw up a little.

  3. Edgar says:

    Please tell me that’s his (grand-)daughter *eek*

    Besides from that, i wouldn’t hit it, but for a 72 years old man, that body ain’t bad

    • Kasia says:

      Really? I think he looks 80 years old. He looks as if he never exercised in his entire life. Armani at 76 looked so much better.

  4. Aussie girl says:

    I don’t think I could sleep with him for $$. I would have to be extremely intoxicated with the lights defernetly off!!!

  5. PHD Gossip says:

    Who is the woman? That is the juicy part.

  6. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    Will Tom Cruise look like that in 22 years?

  7. Aud says:

    I imagine that when one reaches that age, one doesn’t care what others think.
    He was a very attractive man once (decades ago) and can’t help it if he’s getting old.
    He has the yacht, the money and the speedos. Why not?
    In any case, it would take a few million for me. But him being a fashion designer (superficial, narcissistic, etc) and all that, he’d probably complain about my big arse.

    • Guesto says:

      Actually, Aud, I don’t think he would complain about the size of your arse. 🙂 From what I’ve read of him, he’s actually very all-embracing and not remotely precious or snobby about his clothes or people’s bodies. He’s no Karl! On the contrary:

      ROBERTO CAVALLI: “The perfect woman, she says! Well, the woman I would like to have is a woman with some personality and a strong femininity – that is the most important thing. Because, you know, sometimes the beauty is not enough, it’s not enough. The most important thing is somebody who appreciates positivity. I think with the love of life that I put in to all my creations, I need the person who wears it to be someone who is happy.”

      Above I think is very representative of the type of man he is, one with a very genuine joie de vivre vibe about him.

      Re hitting it, no, I’ll pass on that one, but I think he’d be a lot of fun to hang out on a yacht or go down the pub with!

  8. Viv says:

    1 billion. My number is $1 billion. Half that if he pulls the leopard trunks over his face during the act.

  9. v1nc3nz00 says:

    I am suddenly straight

  10. lw says:

    Roberto’s body looks FANTASTIC for 72 years old. He’s blessed to be healthy enough to be so active. And I doubt he could care less what anyone thinks about his ass. Sometimes I think we forget what an older, semi-dressed body looks like. He’s not overweight, riddled with disease, etc…Looks like winning to me.

    • Arock says:

      1) I hope I’m that active in my 70s.
      2) yes. Yes I would. But only for the bags and shoes.
      I think it’s fair.

    • Jennifer says:

      I agree with you. It’s great to see an older man enjoying his life and being active and outside. As a side note, sincerely hoping that is a young relative.

  11. Sandy says:

    At 72 you can never go to the beach? I’ve been going to the beach my whole life and you see all ages there. Yes, the animal print bathing suit is a bit much but that’s just how you flaunt your status on the beach, I assume. 🙂

  12. Ramona says:

    Sexy beast!

  13. Blue Jean says:

    I am an old woman… so I’ve done the nasty with an old man… and lemme tell ya… the money aint worth it.

    you do all the work, and it never works, and mostly they just want to paw and fondle you, while whatever fantasy plays in their heads, and it’s all fumbly useless in terms of stimulating. THey weren’t great in the sack before they had money and it only gets worse from there. Money isn’t everything, and in the cases of these old guys… it’s NEVER enough.

  14. Ag says:

    Eleventy billion.

  15. truthful says:

    50 mil and a case of his Cavalli Vodka..
    do they still sell it??

    and I must be allowed to wear a pair of his most expensive, darkest sunnies while in his presence.

    I’ll take a mil and get a vag transplant, just the thought..

  16. Joanna says:

    I doubt he’s having sex anymore. The women are there for companionship, imo. He knows the deal. but he prob likes having some company and if you got more money than god, why not have some young pieces around? if I wasn’t such a relationship person and was loaded, i could see myself on a yacht with lots of young, toned hot men.

    • gogoGorilla says:

      I agree. I think they like the companionship and the thought that other people think they’re hitting it. One million would do it for me. I’m sure there are lots of prescription drugs that are nicely numbing. 🙂

  17. Azurea says:

    Good God, I just want to laugh. Getting old sucks.
    I sure wouldn’t do it. But good for him for enjoying life!

  18. paola says:

    Of course he’s wearing animal print! He sells that stuff for good money! That is probably all he has! animal prints everywhere! He’s from Florence, I’m from Florence, i met him many many times and he really is a nice person, of course he’s rich and crazy, but in a good way. His wife is nice too and his sons are nice and easy going. He has a really big family so i bet that is not a girlfriend but probably a niece or a daughter in law.

    • Sapphire says:

      I would so love to have a vino or 2 with you, Roberto and whoever cared to show up!

      • paola says:

        I’d love to!
        I used to be a waitress in a really posh restaurant so i served him vino rosso more than once.. and he really is a nice person. His son Daniele used to hit on my best friend and she never went out with him once, she knew who he was and she didn’t want to get involved in the circle of friends he has. you know they change girlfriend every day and she didn’t want to be one of them 😀

  19. jes_sayin says:

    my parents are his age and they look 15 years younger than he does.. It’s called sunscreen!!

    That said, good for him for stayin out there and doing his thing.

  20. Deb says:

    I wouldn’t hit that but I’d hit Roger Sterling

  21. Robot Rosie says:

    Mmmmm Roger Sterling

  22. F5 says:

    Hit it with what?

  23. Diana Prince says:

    ok..ok..ok.. I thought about this.

    I would do it for the small sum of Ten million tax free dollars under these very specific condition.

    1. My brief case of crisp and fresh smelling money handcuffed to my person.

    1-A. No lights!

    2. Absolutely No talking! Unless I’m the one doing the talking. Most likely convincing myself it’s all going to be ok.

    3. If 1-A or #2 in violated in any capacity… 10 million more crispy fresh tax free dollars will be presented to me post haste..to cover damages.

    For I will not be using a freaking cent of my initial ill begotten funds to pay for the therapy I’m so obviously going to need. Then again a nice quiet day on a private beach sipping delicious drinks counting my money might be all the therapy it takes.

  24. Mel says:

    Eh… good for him for enjoying life. If more people did that, they would pay less attention to what other people are doing or not doing. 🙂

    BTW, I don’t think he looks good at all “for 72”. He is 72, not 102!
    But again, it really doesn’t matter. It’s his body, his one and only life… let him enjoy it.

  25. loveisthecoal says:

    IIRC, he’s been married for a long time, so I’d say the girl is probably a granddaughter or niece. No, I would not hit it, but he really doesn’t look that bad for 72.

  26. 5thHouse says:

    Lol. Would I hit it? No!!!!!

  27. Ana says:

    Just no, wouldn’t do it for all the riches in the world!

  28. Trashaddict says:

    In the words of my sainted aunt, “Ewwwwwwwww.”

  29. Dawn says:

    No I would NOT hit it ever no matter how much money he has. Yuk to that, but I would allow him to buy me dinner and a drink or two and I would be happy to converse with him. But that’s it.

  30. Jacqueline says:

    A million-billion-trillion dollars. He may be virile, but he looks like he’s melting.

  31. Spring Season says:

    I would for 5 million cash in my bank account, a paid for house or condo in my name, a Audi S5 in my name and a platinum Visa with $100k limit in my name.

    With this I sure would!

  32. MsGoblin says:

    I don’t know…did anyone but me notice the package? Hmmmmm. That and a little blue pill could make things interesting.

  33. Ann says:

    I can’t believe anybody would even ASK “would you hit it”?

  34. madchen says:

    That’s his daughter. He had three kids in the 1980s. His wife, Eva Duringer, is a former Miss Universe runner up and is still gorgeous…probably about 20 years younger too.

  35. Scarlet Pimpernel says:

    Reminiscent of Salvatore Briatore – Heidi Klum’s first baby daddy …

  36. Amy says:

    Eh. Pay off my student loans, and we’ll talk…

  37. NEENAZEE says:

    You forgot the single best ‘benefit’ of being with Roberto Cavalli: his clothes! Unfortunately, he’s not wearing any in these pics… and looks a little like a troll… but if you were his gf you’d have access to all the awesome, sexy, super-expensive, avant garde Cavalli attire you wanted!

  38. Lala says:

    He looks like a runaway lucky charms leprechaun. And yes I would hit in a light year
