Ian Ziering, 49, makes his Chippendales debut: hot or Blue Steel?


We heard a couple of months ago that Ian Ziering, Steve Sanders of the original 90210, was set to make his guest debut as one of the Las Vegas Chippendales troupe. Back then we saw a wet, beefy shirtless pic of Ian and he looked very doable to me, especially for a 49 year-old guy!

Fast forward to now and Ian has lost around 25 pounds in the last three months and it really shows. He made his debut over the weekend with Chippendales Las Vegas. I have to say I was disappointed. His abs are impressive, but he looks more like a Ken doll than a beefcake. TooFab has the details of how much weight Ian lost.

Former “Beverly Hills, 90210” star Ian Ziering hit the stage with the shirtless hunks of Chippendales this weekend — and he definitely got in shape for his role in the show.

The 49-year-old actor will be a guest host for the Las Vegas show Thursdays through Sundays through June 30 at the Rio.

Ziering dropped an impressive 25 pounds in the last three months for the gig — and was seen working out like crazy — going from 205 to 180 pounds!

[From Too Fab]

Ian is 6′ tall, so he’s still well within the normal range at 180, but he looks so thin to me. It’s like he’s exercised off every spare fat gram. Oh well, I was never a Steve fan anyway. I always wanted to get with Dylan. Plus male strippers never really do it for me. I will say this – he looks the part.

Here’s what Ian looked like before.

    He can’t turn left…
    2nd pic from bottom is full on LeTigre

  2. jasmine says:

    wow! i’m impressed! i think he’s never looked this good.

  3. Arock says:

    He looks good but one can’t unsee the ramen noodle mullet.

  4. Hahahaha says:

    2words…. Try hard

  5. Anna says:

    Confession time: Ziering’s Steve Sanders was my #1 crush on 90210. Always love a mischievous brad with a heart of golg (Hot Harry anyone?). These photos are a sad reminder of my age, although for a guy clocking in at half-a-cent old, he looks pretty good!

    • whipmyhair says:

      I was a little too young for 90210 the first time around: but Steve forever! It’s all about those eyes….

  6. Dhavynia says:

    Very impressive for a 49 yr old but he needs more muscle for that role

  7. Lucy2 says:

    Was anyone a Steve fan? I doubt it.
    He does look good for 49, but the whole thing is kind of icky.

  8. Emily says:

    His head looks tiny compared to his body in the pic with the three guys :S

    • GoodCapon says:

      ^ This.

      But it doesn’t take away from the fact that he looks good for a 49 year old!

  9. Pia says:

    I care more about the dancers to his left and right — Jaymes and James. They were on The Amazing Rave a couple of seasons ago and they were entertaining, sweet and competitive. Came in second, unfortunately.

  10. Joanna says:

    he looks dang good! what’s wrong w looking like a ken doll? kens hot! steve’s body looks good.

  11. judyjudy says:

    He looks unwell to me. His face is too thin. He looked much better/healthier before.

    I don’t get the male stripper thing. I’d rather see a shirtless man hold a baby or wrestle a bear or something.

    • DreamyK says:

      Agreed. The weight loss has taken a toll on his face. The Matthew McConaughey effect. Unfortunate.

    • Nev says:

      yes cute but really gaunt…he actually looks better with the clothes on.

  12. serena says:

    I think he looks good, I can’t believe he’s 49 and with that body.. holy crap.

  13. MsAubra says:

    Steve Sanders is about to turn 50…

    good night nurse!

  14. Thora says:

    Looks good for a 49 year old? He’s in better shape than most 29 year olds.

  15. DeltaJuliet says:

    I never found him especially attractive but he looks damn good for his age! He pretty much looks exactly the same as he did on 90210.

    Strippers don’t do it for me either. I’ll take Daniel Craig kicking ass in a three piece suit over some dude waving his junk around a.n.y.d.a.y.

  16. Katie Too says:

    Celebitchy, thanks for making me feel ancient early Monday morning.

    Nice bod, the weight loss impacted his face. He’s always seemed a bit sexless–almost as if he were a real Ken doll.

  17. Maxine says:

    There’s something about this that makes me feel really bad for him. His too thin face… the weird look in his eye… the fact that he’s 49… I’m not sure which it is.

  18. Audrey says:

    Strippers do nothing for me. You know they’re only coming within 3 feet of you cause they want $$

    How is that attractive? I saw male strippers once and I felt so awkward. Even moreso when I started seeing them around my college campus lol. Just trying to pay tuition!

  19. hadleyb says:

    His abs look good but his neck and face look horrible. Once again, you can’t be this fit/ this thin at this age and think it looks good – men or women. A little extra weight ( and maybe no abs ) looks better than this.

    Sorry its the truth we all have to face getting old, its a sad fact. Enjoy your youth because you can’t be super thin, super fit and still have a fantastic face to go along with it forever.

    Gain ten or 15 Steve and you will look better.

    • Mel says:

      “Sorry its the truth we all have to face getting old, its a sad fact.”

      But he is not “old”.
      And it IS possible to be thin and fit AND have a young face, with a wrinkle-free complexion.
      I should know, I am his age.
      Maybe it’s my genes, who knows. All I am saying is, it is possible.

  20. Regan says:

    Can I exchange this egg?? Funniest scene ever. But what’s up with his face – is that Botox?

  21. Happy21 says:

    I loved 90210 in its heyday but Steve Sanders just wasn’t a thing to me. However, I did go back and watch the first season last summer (that’s as far as I got, it was far too teenaged and not good) and he was by far to the mid-30’s woman I am now, the most visually appealing male regular on the show. It’s odd how that happens. And now, he looks pretty good too!

  22. dunzoo says:

    OMG the first pic is hilarious!!! I never found him hot, even in his 90210 days, I was more a Dylan girl. But he looks good for a 49 year old guy.

  23. alibeebee says:

    for an almost 50 year old he looks pretty good. Face is Zoolander but the body is not bad … not bad at all!

  24. Ag says:

    Good for him.

  25. Scarlett says:

    The first picture is absolutely hysterical. His body is not bad for approaching 50 years old but there is something so tacky and a little sad about this Chippendale’s gig.

    • Pandy says:

      I bet he’s having a riot. I had a 3some with two chippendales dancers back in the day LOLLL. Hope he has as much fun as I did!!

  26. Camille (TheOriginal) says:

    All I see is hair plugs/wig, because when he was on BH90210 he was already losing his hair, and his hair line now is very suspicious.

    • Scarlett says:

      He definately has hair plugs, a waxed chest, overly whitened teeth plus too many hours spent in a tanning bed..note his beet red chest, plus his forehead looks heavily botoxed.

  27. Jennifer12 says:

    OMFG. That is all.

  28. Mel says:

    I never could stand “Steve”. And he still looks like, well, “Steve”.

    And no, male strippers don’t do it for me either.
    I find them mind-bogglingly boring and embarrassing (for them).

  29. Str8Shooter says:

    He looks like Ted Shackelford (Gary Ewing) from Knots Landing in those bowtie pix!

  30. Jamie says:

    I never thought he was hot and still do not! not impressed at all!

  31. Mandy says:

    Eewww. I’ve never been a fan. And he has serious douche face in this pictures.

  32. HeyHey says:

    i think he looks good, except maybe the hair. Should just go with a shaved head. And maybe the spray tan makes him look orange.

    Also those other two are the chippendales that were on the amazing race.

  33. Peanut says:

    Haha you guys are so harsh. He’s still do-able.
