The photos from Levi Johnston’s photoshoot for Playgirl.com are now online, and they’re not that good. Playgirl.com promises that we’ll see “LEVI JOHNSTON NUDE!” once we pony up $19.99 monthly fee to join their website, but it’s more like “Levi covering himself and cowering.” The guy looks positively meek in these photos, particularly a couple of photos in the shower where he seems to be ashamed that he doesn’t measure up. If there’s any doubt that Levi isn’t packing, all we have to do is look at his expressions in these two pictures and draw our own conclusions.
Levi initially said he wanted to keep his playgirl photoshoot “classy” and indicated he probably wouldn’t show full frontal. Then his manager tried to generate some buzz by claiming in a roundabout way that Levi would bare all. He said “He’s ready to shock the world.” Consider us underwhelmed and more than a little amused by the result. The kid is only 19, and he sure looks it with that hangdog face and puppy dog eyes.
This probably achieved Playgirl’s objective and generated plenty of buzz for the now online-only adult magazine. If anything, it highlights how lame Levi looks compared to the really buff, gorgeous, well hung guys they usually feature. Many people are going to see these milk toast photos and think this is all Playgirl has to offer, though. I can’t see anyone being so impressed by Levi’s bubble butt, scared-looking stare and adequately flat abs that they immediately sign up for Playgirl. If they visit the website and check out their other offerings, though (the site is very NSFW or under 18) they might be compelled.

I figure it is because the whole show is mostly run by men, and men in general are scared to death of being put under the same microscope as women are. God forbid that their bits and pieces are all put on display for intense scrutiny by billions of eyes and commentators. They should list celebrity/model men’s penis sizes the same way they list women’s chest measurements. Besides, women have been brainwashed to be sexualized to a degree that many men would find embarassing and degrading. On another note, this young man should have waited to fill out a LOT more, or at least put some effort into it like Twilight Taylor. Jamie Bamber is MUCH more to behold physique-wise than these two combined.
-
Good way of seeing it, Queenie.
They surely couldnt handle the unrealistic expectations and scrutiny to which women are held…I guess not any better than women can :/ (we dont take it well either)
-
What I find astonishing is that Playgirl would be willing to pay $30,000 to a guy who looks scared to death in his own photo shoot. Maybe he wasn’t willing to bare it all, but he should at least have made an effort to try to look a bit professional - as opposed to terrified and sort of ashamed.
Also, the photos are not that great or impressive, and he has just lost any allure that he might have had in the past (well, for those who see in him more than an illiterate bumpkin). He just looks as if they had picked just about any guy in the street, and asked him to pose semi-nude.
Also, I agree, Queenie: given all the fuss that his manager and him made about his working out regime, one would have expected a more impressive physique. He just looks, well, too ordinary for words.
The only good thing about this is that Sarah Palin will, er… Be scandalized once she “accidentally” sees these shots, when she incidentally happens to come by an “erroneously paid for” Playgirl subscription.
-
I admire the waxing. He had to withstand a lot of pain to go through that on his butt and chest. Either that or he has a very talented photoshop / airbrusher.
-
I like man buns just as much as the next lady but these shots dont make me wanna pull a Carrie Prejean or anything. Meh!
-
He’s “got his mother’s thighs”.
-
Did PG just find these on his MySpace?
-
That is NOT a bubble butt, it’s pretty nonexistant.
-
At 19, he should have a much better body than that. So I’m curious: if you pay the $19.99, do you get full frontal, or are these the pictures you see when you pay the money? If I’d spent money and these were the pix, I’d want my money back. My 42 year old husband has a better body than that. And what were they thinking with that stupid washcloth? So uncreative.
-
The towel thing at least looked like maybe he was supposed to scrubbing himself? It made more sense. But to do it twice? meh. Then when he covered himself with his hands, it gave the feeling of child pr0n.
Also, I didn’t know that playgirl is online only now?
-
These are the most boring, unsexy photos I’ve seen in a long time.
-
Love the tattoo of his last name. NOT!!! (sorry- reliving the 80’s there for a moment)
-
My 48 year old hubby has a WAY better body!! I really don’t like to say negative things about people, but he put himself out there!!!
So average, so not sexy, so boring, so plain, I am sure the market Playgirl is after (gay dudes) are laughing hysterically as they glance down at their own much better bods!
I agree with one poster who said it smacks of kiddie pRon, the way he looks so sheepish, so out of place.
And what about the men who work their butts off to be attractive enough to make it into this mag? They must be p*s*ed!!!
I wonder if, from now on, we are just going to allow any-old-body to be ‘famous…’? -
I feel dirty for having seen these. He looks like one of those kidnapped kids that gets sold into the skin trade in the Phillipines or something.
Absolutely nothing sexy about these pics - the popups you get at Playgirl.com are more interesting. They at least clean up their asses and manscape. Oh, and are handsome.
Playgirl is only online now, but they’re apparently putting out a single magazine issue just for this creepy thing.
-
@ MsTriste you echoed my thoughts but put them eloquently. Also, I think men with hairy chests are far more attractive than their waxed counterparts.
-
Let. Down.
-
Blech. Not sexy. Not attractive. And does he know it’s mostly gay guys who check out Playgirl?
-
Ugh. Send him back, way back, to the north slope– if they’ll have him. Not in the least attractive.
-
1. Anything he does to make Sarah Palin’s life harder is something I can support. I think she makes all women look bad. If he makes her look bad, he’s making me happy.
2.He’s a cute boy with a nice body. He just doesn’t look like somebody who spends every second in the gym like real male models do that’s all.
3. This was a stupid career move. It’s going to haunt him forever. I think he did this to spite and embarrass Palin, but it’s really going to hurt him more.
4. Fortunately, it’s going to haunt Palin forever too. And that’s a good thing. -
This guy has zero presence, zero charisma. His facial expression in the last photo reminds me of a timid, forlorn bunny rabbit. My 40 year old husband has a much hotter body than this 19 year old.
-
He’s gross.
My 41 year old hubby works out 6 days a week and looks WAY better naked! Not to mention, my hubby actually HAS a personality!
-
1. Do we as women really want to trash a guy’s body the way guys trash women’s bodies? If we do, we’re no better than the sexist dogs on most gossip sites who say that any woman that isn’t a size two is a fat pig? Shouldn’t we be better than those sexist jerks? And this is not a grown man. This is a kid. Attacking his body is just cruel and abusive.
2. There’s something tragic about all of the hostility towards this kid. He’s a cute kid with a decent body. So what if it’s not perfect. He’s not a model. He’s just a kid who made a mistake, got his girlfriend pregnant, is trying to be involved in his child’s life, and got swept up into some insane political drama.
He barely finished high school and has no real career prospects. There is something sad about him posing nude for money. And there’s something vicious and gross about women comparing him to their husbands. I don’t want to hear about anybody’s husband’s body. There’s something desperate about it. Keep that information to yourself and within your marriage.
This is all terribly wrong.
-
“He barely finished high school and has no real career prospects. There is something sad about him posing nude for money.”
This is probably the high point of his earnings bell curve. Very sad in a lot of ways. I feel sorry for his child.

@DiMi,
I have been properly chastised. You are so right on some levels, we should all be better than to bash people for things they have little to no control over. We need to be more accepting and nicer to one another, there are some big ‘howevers’ here though…
a) This (these) are gossip websites, we can keep it much cleaner and kinder but if you are that puritanical you really shouldn’t be perusing either this site or nude pics of a young man
b) we have every right to boast of our men’s bodies/looks. I am as proud of him as he is of me, so there (little pout). It isn’t as if anyone got graphic! You say you don’t want to know about our husbands, yet you look at nude pics of this ‘cute kid’ who is someone’s kind of husband?
c) A cute kid? Hmmm, jury is out on that, he seems to have turned in his cute card with out of wed-lock teen pregnancy, publically bashing his ‘mother-in-law’ (whom I can’t stand by the way), being a drunken buffoon, posing nude, being under-educated and not very motivated, can’t blame his jailed mother on him…but cute is not an adjective I’d use. Troubled? Wayward? Misguided? Maybe. Cute, not so much.
d) It was young Levi who put himself out there on display in the crudest way possible, being in that mag, in that state of undress is a tacit invitation to commentary, n’est pas?
So, as sanctimonious as you may feel, you come across as a tad hypocritical given the mileau, but I do concede some points to you.
Cheers. -
@teehee i agree. i was hoping to see some of the real deal. but where is it? this is so boring and i am so tired of people saying women aren’t so interested in sex as who ever whatever i don’t care! this sucks.
-
In the words of Mr. Krueger on Seinfeld:
“What a pear-shaped loser.”
-
I too have little interest in seeing a guy’s ass. If a dude is gonna pose nude, it should be full frontal. We can see your chest at the beach! I don’t understand the point of posing for an adult mag if you’re not going to take adult pics. Kid stuff.
-
Well, at least he’ll always know how to spell his name.
Too bad the tattoo artist made it so small, along his forearm.
-
Kid looks like William Shatner in the header pic
-
I’m glad they don’t show his junk. All I can think about is the girl he impregnated. No woman want’s another woman’s trash. And that is all Levi is and will ever be…Palin’s trash.
-
This guy is an absolute prick. Can you say SELL OUT! I’m pretty sure that when he slithered into Bristol Palin’s bed and told her he loved her, SHE wouldn’t have pictured him, attacking her mother Sarah Palin (who is nuts), posing semi naked for playgirl shortly after the birth of their son. Dude, I’m pretty sure no one wants to see an unclassy dude “trying to earn money to feed his kid” *eye rolls* posing naked.
I mean, where are all the real men these days. Guys who respect their exes, and their exes families and who won’t do anything just to get some press time. -
@guilty: I think it’s great that some ladies are more interested in their own husbands’ bods than a kid who posed for Playgirl for publicity (and to totally annoy that synchophant Sarah Palin–Yes! Yes! Yes!).
This kid won’t suffer much more from this than he will for being involved with the Palin family and getting her daughter knocked up. He didn’t do anything too risque or gross (thank goodness we don’t have to see his junk), and ten years from now it will be an FYI but not like a sex tape or something. It’s the stuff like George Michael picking up prostitutes in the park or Joey Francis just being himself that are the things we really wish we could forget and can’t.
But if there is an example of someone that we can down for self-destruction, look at what Charlie Sheen has done to his reputation. Kaiser, I read what you said and totally understand your mom being devastated about him. I remember when he was so adorable (think Platoon) before all of the stories of drinking, then drugs, then violence, then hookers, then wife-beating. And nothing that he does is ever going to redeem him in my eyes. It’s just too much. And he can’t use any terrible-childhood crap excuses because his parents and brother Emilio Estevez aren’t airing all of their dirty laundry in public; it’s just him and his own self-entitled, dysfunctional relationships.
Even Robert Downey Jr. has managed to resurrect his career after the drug and alcohol problems because he got cleaned up, maintains a healthy marriage (or at least the impression of such), and has a strong work ethic (not to mention that he is a brilliant actor). He was the poster boy for bad behavior for a long time, but as an addict, not being deliberately creepy.
So to keep it in context for those of us who pay attention to this stuff, it’s sadly mind. Especially with the Kim Kardasian getting peed on for fun thing. There’s just no dignity there whatsoever.

What I dont understand is why they give women a bunch of rear end and no actual junk.
Im not a rear end woman and if this is about seeing a guys junk then where is it….
meanwhile every last bit of women is splattered across pages like a bug on the windshield going down the highway.
Like we arent as sexual?? Oh yes we are… *I protest! Wheres the beef!?!?*
