Blue Lagoon is on Netflix

Blue Lagoon and Endless Love are both on Netflix. Christopher Atkins was so sexy. He even later did a movie playing a stripper and he posed nude in magazine threads. He was aware of his male audience. Gay-friendly. His hair is naturally straight but he looked great with curly blond hair. Like an Adonis. Sorta resembled the late gorgeous gay porn stars Kip Noll and Kurt Marshall.

He was aware of his good looks and took tons of beefcake (clearly for a gay audience).

The Atkins penis

James Spader and Martin Hewitt from Endless Love didn't age well either.

Brian Krause was the budget Chris Atkins in the early 90s. He starred in Return to the Blue Lagoon and Sleepwalkers. He was gorgeous then. He was a sexy hunk during Charmed. He aged very well for a fair-skinned blonde guy.

I was 10 when I saw The Blue Lagoon in 1980; it pretty much kick-started my puberty. I didn't see it again until sometime in the past year, when it was available on Amazon Prime; I remembered every single scene.

He seemed very sweet, laid-back and mellow in the interviews during Blue Lagoon. In fact both he and Brooke were passive aggressively attacked by pearl-clutching sex-obsessed interviewers and they were surprisingly mature and held their own. I think he has a nice sexy soft-spoken voice.

The rumor was that the gay director banged the fuck out of him, but I think that was BS. He was apparently too busy getting into Brooke's pants. He was definitely aware of his gay fans, but secure enough in his straightness that it didn't bother him.

I would have let Randal Kleiser fuck me.

My french teacher in high school always put Christopher Atkinson in quizzes and assignments. “tu aime Christopher Atkinson?”

He seems straight but just loves the attention from gays. He knows they were big fans of his. An exhibitionist in general because he posed nude repeatedly and kept doing sexual roles in movies. Playgirl is mostly read by gay men.

Honey, you would have let Dr. Phil fuck you.

One thing I found really jarring in The Blue Lagoon was the mutilated dong of Chris!

Fuck off, R15.

As I saw the film, I had an urgent desire to eat out Christopher's ass.

R13 A guy needs to eat - he made the better money while he could, and worked steadily in lesser projects ever since. Of course, if he were 19 and starting out right now, he'd probably just be another instaho.

[quote] One thing I found really jarring in The Blue Lagoon was the mutilated dong of Chris!

The film was set in the early 1900s. I don't think circumcision of Christian boys was common back then. But that doesn't bother me. Brooke was clearly wearing makeup. Also Chris was clean-shaven with an obvious perm. Both talked like typical 1980s California teenagers. So I don't think the director was going for too much realism here.

Good for the director if he got a piece of that. Im a late stage millennial but when I first saw Chris Atkins on one of those “I love the 80s” nostalgia shows on VH1 I immediately logged onto aol to find more pictures to jerk to.

I'm a millennial too. These 80s movies were always on cable in the 90s and 2000s or available for free on-demand. Brooke herself enjoyed a renewal in public interest because people in the 2000s looked back at her career and scratched their heads at why it was even allowed. There was more awareness of childhood sexual abuse, "To Catch A Predator" mania and generally talking about the downfall of former child stars too. So many documentaries aired about Brooke. She was always a good sport though and she stayed well-adjusted.

Once I'd gotten over the ass in R17's gif, I noted how healthy Brooke's body was, compared to the endless nude insects with implants in pretty much everything these days.

You don't see womanly beauty like Brooke Shields anymore. Same with Vanessa Williams, Jennifer Connelly, Naomi Campbell, Kim Basinger and young Whitney Houston. The catalog and runway models back then also had more weight and physically attractive. These new girls Hollywood and the fashion industry push onto us now just do not compare.

Had no idea he had a long career. A lot of crap in there, but still, worked steadily which is no small feat.

He's only 60 which surprises me. I know - do the math. But I still think of The Blue Lagoon as being SO long ago and would have expected him to be older. Aged just fine. Looks his age, but good. Somehow pulling off older blonde guy.

His features were very cutesy and elvish which don't necessarily age well into adulthood. Also he is a very outdoorsy guy. White people really need sunscreen and to avoid certain hours of the day as too much UV exposure damages skin and increases aging. Other than that I still think he's hot. He has charisma, a halo around him. A sweet smile and laid back demeanor. I would still do him.

PEDO THREAD!!!

R10: Chris did not get into Brooke's pants! Nobody got into her pants until college where Dean Cain had that honor.

My favorite Chris Atkins performance:

R27 they probably fooled around. Two beautiful teenagers spending that much time together in the nude. The hormones raging. It's inevitable. Teri couldn't be there all the time. Plus Brooke and Chris were doing a lot of promotions together as well. Also remember that virginity for women means penetration. There's other sexual acts. So many religious teens will do everything but vaginal. Just being honest.

[quote]R22 I noted how healthy Brooke's body was, compared to the endless nude insects with implants in pretty much everything these days.

Brooke Shields has written that she had a lot of inhibitions about her body, partly because even though she was athletically toned, the fashion industry considered her to be too large to show off clothes. She was rarely chosen for pure fashion layouts and got almost no runway work.

Her professional strength was her face, and she was booked almost entirely for covers and beauty ads/features.

Didn't Brooke have a body double for the nude scenes?

She had a body double for Blue Lagoon and Endless Love as she was underage and her costars were legal adults.

A friend of mine used to call body doubles stunt cunts.

In a few of the underwater nude swimming scenes, Chris shows off a prodigious taint bush. Blond of course.

R34 He was fully ripe and fresh.

Chris could sing and dance in a ensemble too!

R8 me too! I was 10 & this movie really imprinted on me, even though some of it went way over my head. I bragged to my friends at school the next day that I’d seen it. I may have even cried at the ending, I was a very earnest kid who took everything way too literally. I watched The Lonely Lady at 15 & was horrified when Pia got raped with the garden hose & watched the whole film as if it were intellectual, arty cinema.

R36 Chris had a Billboard top 100 single from the movie as well.

Yes, r38; "How Can I Live Without Her" peaked at #71 on the Hot 100. However, his thin singing voice was overlayered with that of Trevor Farrant's voice (Farrant wrote the script for The Pirate Movie and also re-wrote some of the Gilbert & Sullivan lyrics).

Did Kristy give Chris a 'Happy Ending' during production?

R40 There was a line.

Goddam but how I loved Chris Atkins frequently shown butt cheeks!

My God how I wanted to fuck him up the ass!

I liked him but he and Linda Gray were terrible together on Dallas. One of my least favorite stories.

I remember being at the local bathhouse when the VHS tape of "The Blue Lagoon" first came out. The manager had put it on the tv in the lounge and, as I walked by, I heard," That ass!" " Oh, my God, you can see his dick." Yes, Chris appealed to many a gay man. I'm sure they all went out and bought a copy for their own " private" viewing.

R36 That clip is pure (delicious) camp!

[quote]The film was set in the early 1900s. I don't think circumcision of Christian boys was common back then.

That reminds me, in Bertolucci's "1900" (set in Italy) there's a scene where the tween versions of Robert De Niro and Gerard Depardieu strip down and compare penises. They are both obviously uncut and even comment on each other's foreskins.

Later when they grow up and we see their grown up characters fully nude (when a hooker is jacking them both) it is clear that De Niro is circumcised but no explanation is given.

MAYBE THEY WERE JEWISH.

So my question is: Were they all dead when they were found in the boat at the end of the movie?

R50 Yes.

R45 It was obvious to gay men at that time that the director made the movie for almost the sole purpose of perving out on Chris’s nubile, firm young flesh. Kleiser coming out later was no great surprise.

The straight press was freaking out over Brooke Shields being underage-rightly so-but in the meantime we were given a (perfectly legal) new jack off idol for the ages!

What a cutie he was! Super nice ass!

[quote]He even later did a movie playing a stripper.

No. Really???!!! This is amazing news!!! STOP THE PRESSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[quote]He was aware of his good looks and took tons of beefcake (clearly for a gay audience).

Thanks SO MUCH for telling us, as I would have thought he was completely unaware of his good looks. THANKS AGAIN!

[quote]So my question is: Were they all dead when they were found in the boat at the end of the movie?

One of the other characters -- I forget which one, but I think it's one of the sailors who finds them -- says they're alive. In fact, I think that's the very last line of the movie.

R54 What’s your point? Your sarcasm is misguided. What people are pointing out-and so what if it’s obvious-is that Chris Atkins’s attitude towards his career was refreshing. We’ve had to put up with the tedium of a long line of male celebrities trying to deny that their looks and bodies are a key component to their success. And being uncomfortable with gay men lusting after them.

No, R56, R54 is a total dick who is pissed that his life is, and always will be, miserable.

R55 In the original movie, all three are alive. In the sequel, they retconned it to have the parents dead but the kid alive - who grows up to be the very pretty and equally-unclad Brian Krause.

They should have had him on the island with Willie Aames - fucking continuously, of course.

R59 I know a lot of gays on here love to fantasize about twink on twink sex, but I’d rather see someone bigger, butcher, older and hairier fucking Atkins.

R60 Hmm, yes. Some big burly thick guy to make Atkins beg (for more) and stretch his ass out good - but who?

Hamm? Hemsworth? Aaron Taylor-Johnson?

Carl Nassib?

R27- A GAY male was the first person who got into her pants

R44- I agree. I didn’t buy his LUST for Sue Ellen.

R61 I was thinking someone more along the lines of Ed Asner, Max Gail or Carroll O’ Connor. Or Paddy from the original movie. A pretty boy like Atkins needs a daddy type to dominate his ass. Also, it’s hotter to imagine someone from the same time period as his heyday.

No, I imagine little Chris screaming in ecstasy as he rides Nassib's cock while Hemsworth and ATJ force him up and down while waiting their turn.

Or, perhaps, something like this.

Or, perhaps, something like this.

Chris Atkins just had to have had casting couch experiences, right? I picture him surrendering the pink to some leering producer.

R66 Paddy could have taught him how to be a man.

R70 I wonder who had him first.

I still remember the snake fondly.

Try to remember where you were when you first saw this scene.

Of course, he might have been selling his candy even before getting cast.

R75 I wouldn’t doubt it!The little slut.

I don't blame him. If I looked like that, I would totally whore it up.

R79 Should have fingered his ass when I had the chance.

Chicken of the Sea.

R81 Who says he didn’t? That photo was taken by openly gay Greg Gorman, so he could have done a lot more than just “fingered” CA’s ass!

R86 Wait a minute - he said he was "prepping me for the wide angle shot"!

I was sore all day after that shoot!

R29 He was too busy keeping the director satisfied to be fooling around.

R35 Huge sperm count - he'd have knocked Brooke right up if she'd gotten on that.

I was obsessed with his ass back in the day.

I'm obsessed with it even now.

It was very nice “nice man ass!” cinema.

I love me some Chris Atkins booty! And not The Pirate Movie kind.

Yup he was never shy about getting that cock n balls out!

He doesn't look all that spectacular in the photo at R94, because his body doesn't look as ripped as it did in THE BLUE LAGOON (and the stripper movie), and also you can't see his butt, which was his best feature :-)

R96 Well he’s considerably older in that photo and it’s a casually posed shot, so yeah, there are better photos of his, but STILL…but I agree that his butt is his best feature!

R97, do we know the date of that photo? He looks pretty young to me there, maybe even younger than in the stripper movie.

I don’t know the date, no. But I’m almost positive it was taken well after A Night In Heaven,

Apparently he was fond of the booze back in those days. I guess being pretty was quite the burden.

R100 And he was rumoured to have a taste for the coke as well. Some pretty wild talk around his Studio 54 days.

Christopher Atkins was the perfect sex object. Unburdened with talent or complexity.

R102 Truth. It was so easy to want to fondle his beautiful body, watch him swim and frolic around on the beach, and fuck him as often as humanly possible.

R103 The things I wanted to do to that ass!

R104 I hear ya, buddy.

R105 Okay wait, do we have PROOF that that snake had his way with the precious Atkins ass?!? Just another scurrilous Internet rumour? Is the snake still alive?

R106 Unfortunately, the snake's manuscript entltled "Yes, I Had That" was rejected for publication.

I can't even look at a garden hose without getting hard - it was just that good!

[quote] Is the snake still alive?

If it died, it died smiling.

To be fair, he was really keen. It was no trouble at all getting him to "open up for the camera". I think the photographer had him after I left.

Those snakes always get the best boy pussy!

Adam was much more interesting than Eve!

I’ve often wondered if Greg Gorman porked Chris Atkins before, during, or after the Playgirl shoot.

R113 Why not all three?

R114 Well I’ve certainly fantasized as much! Gawd did I want to be Greg Gorman!

Greg also gave us Josh Duhamel

Duhamel front

Yes the Duhamel pics are hot as fuck! I love the Atkins pics from that same book as well. Both are great jack off material. “Art” be damned! Greg Gorman is my hero

I'm sure he enjoyed fully exploring his subjects.

Enjoy everybody.

Little Chris peeking out of the side of his shorts.

R120 That ass shot from Playgirl! Ah the memories!

Nice tight camerawork.

Nice tight ass?

R1 I always thought Kurt Marshall, with his blonde curly locks, was a deliberate attempt on the filmmakers part to make a gay porn version of Chris Atkins.

R125 Sad story, though. He died from AIDS at 22.

Marshall.

R126 Yes very sad. What a waste!

Christopher Atkins and Blue Lagoon came along at exactly the right time for me. I was 17 when the movie came out, horny as hell, and was looking for a male “sex symbol” to project my fantasies onto. Gay porn was hard to get my hands on where I came from so Atkins fit the bill to a tee.. And bridged the gap. Blond, pretty and blissfully, unashamedly nekkid!. He had his sweet, little cock out for all the world to see-I didn’t care that it was average in size-and that was very rare back then. He had that firm, round ass that was just perfect in my eyes. And the director feasted his camera on that bare body at every opportunity! That was what was so refreshing. You just knew that the director had to be gay. The mainstream press was having conniptions about Brooke Shields being underage, rightly so, but Chris was of legal age and many a gay man sent out a silent prayer for that. It was also clear right from the beginning that he was no actor. He had clearly not been cast for his, uh, abilities as a Thespian. That someone help assuage the slight guilt I felt at using him so frequently as masturbation fodder. I had the People magazine with him and Brooke on the cover stuffed under my bedroom mattress. When his Playgirl layout came out a couple years later I rejoiced all over again! Or at least my cock did. There was THAT ASS between the pages of a magazine any time I needed it. After that I started collecting anything with his photo in it that I could get my hands on. His career as a famous actor was very brief of course. It all seemed a bit embarrassing in retrospect But Christopher Atkins, all these years later, still holds a special place in my,-let’s say-heart.

R129 He was delightfully innocent and somewhat petulant in BL, but in "A Night in Heaven" he was cocky and seductive.

.. and he showed his cocky a couple of times in " A Night in Heaven."

R131 Ha ha I see what you did there!

Too bad he wasted himself on Lesley Ann Warren, when he could have been getting it on with his fellow strippers.

[quote].. and he showed his cocky a couple of times in " A Night in Heaven."

Daring cocky...

Here's the daring cocky. Sorry.

NRA cocky...

I used to dream about Chris Atkins sucking my cock.

I used to dream about eating out his ass.

R137 I'd guess yours wouldn't be the first.

2 years after Randal Kleiser got Christopher Atkins naked for this movie, he turned his attentions to Peter Gallagher in "Summer Lovers" . . .

Chris’s ass was better than Peter Gallagher’s. Wonder if Kleiser fucked them both?

Chris' ass deserved to be stuffed full on a daily basis.

I guess we can be grateful to Kleiser for displaying Atkins and Gallagher beautifully on screen, but as far as I'm concerned, that doesn't make up for his lack of talent and the effect that had on both GREASE and THE BLUE LAGOON.

R145 Perhaps he was distracted by the beauty of his subjects - or Atkins' insatiable sexual needs.

R146 I would have been distracted looking at that bare ass everyday as well!

R145 Blue Lagoon is mostly terrible but I have a soft spot for Grease.

I'll never forget Kleiser for not casting Lucie Arnaz as Rizzo in Grease, I can't even imagine the career Lucie might have had had she been Rizzo.

I think Atkins was probably gay4pay back in the day,

R147 He was houndin' for a poundin', strutting around like that!

I jerked off so HARD to my Beta copy of this movie when I finally got my sweaty palms on one in the early 80’s. Chris Atkins’s ass was made for that big, clicky pause button!

I did the same thing when I was in hs.. Two gay friends of mine and I locked ourselves in my room when my parents were out, got naked, and watched the movie. We ended up giving each other handjobs. I remember that I thought it as the most "forbidden" thing I'd ever done to that point. I still get hard watching the movie, remembering that night.

Brooke Shields movies of that time, always so controversial because of her age, were a smorgasbord of man meat for us gays. Endless Love was another one. If I remember correctly, the soundtrack album had a small pic of Martin Hewitt’s bare ass inside. A still from the movie. I used that many times for uh, self-stimulation, let’s just say. Martin Hewitt/ Christopher Atkins… now there’s a sandwich!

R152 I'm sure he knew what he had, and how to tease it.

Christopher Atkins gave a whole generation of gay boys their sexual awakening.

R156 What a very nice way of saying a lot of gay guys beat off to him ha ha!

I think the point was that a whole bunch of teen and pre-teen boys discovered they were gay when they erected to the sight of his nudity and, in some cases., discovered masturbation.

Hopefully he enjoyed losing his cherry - whomever took it.

R159 It was me.. It was me who popped Chris Atkin’s 18 year old anal cherry.

R158 Yes I got that:)

R160 It's sweet that you think that.

Was Christopher Atkins ass the main reason for Blue Lagoon’s box-office success?

It got all of its money from older gay men seeing the film countless times.

He had that "naked poolboy next door" thing going on.

R165 Truth! Because of The Blue Lagoon and the fact that he was photographed nude for Playgirl by and in a swimming pool, water has been central to his erotic display. I used to fantasize about fucking him in a pool.

[quote]It got all of its money from older gay men seeing the film countless times.

I think there's a lot of truth to that. I'm sure SOME straight guys (and maybe some lesbians!) went to see the movie to see Brooke in skimpy clothing, but I imagine word quickly got out that far more of Chris's body was on display for far more screen time, probably for two reasons: (1) Brooke was still underage, so they felt they had to be extra careful with that; and (2) of course, the director was a poufter who took the opportunity to show Chris in all (or most of) his glory whenever possible.

R167 Yes there’s always a lot of talk on here and elsewhere about Atkins’s appeal to young men discovering their sexuality for the first time, but what remains mostly unspoken is the dirty old man factor. Which I think was significant. Although a few of the reviewers at the time did point it out. For the record, I was 17 when the movie came out so I can’t be included in this category lol!

Blue Lagoon has long had a somewhat creepy reputation because of Brooke Shields being 14 when it was filmed. And let’s face it, the pedo crowd WAS. a factor. So eww. But the mainstream press to this day has always underestimated the movies appeal to gay men of all ages. Christopher Atkins had the allure of jailbait while remaining a perfectly legal soft-core porn Adonis. A win-win. And it was all under the guise of “innocence” . The tagline: “A story of natural love”. Uh huh. Sure, Jan. Hollywood had never dared to present male flesh so blatantly before. Or since I think. Every scene he’s in is sexualized to some degree. And that certainly wasn’t lost on ahem… men of a certain age. Especially the closet cases that didn’t have access to the more hardcore stuff. Christopher Atkins was a godsend. A masturbatory fantasy come to life.

There’s a gay author named John Patrick who some of the Eldergays on here might remember. He dealt in mostly,- we’ll call it “erotica” from the late 80s to the early 2000s. He wrote an essay dedicated to Christopher Atkins in one of his books, It’s title says it all. “Christopher Atkins: ChickenHawk’s Delight”.

Who cares. There are literally hundreds of old movies streaming

The amount of spunk that gay boys spanked out to Christopher Atkins in the Blue Lagoon could've populated a small nation.

R170 It wasn’t just Blue Lagoon that made Atkins a masturbatory icon of the time. His entire early 80s career, on film and in print, was a wank-bank.

True, R171, but his other movies weren't remotely as popular as THE BLUE LAGOON. I mean, really, A NIGHT IN HEAVEN and THE PIRATE MOVIE???

I loved The Pirate Movie!

R172 There was an added bonus in HEAVEN of watching him play a guy who knew only too well that he was pretty and was coasting on his looks to get what he wanted.

LAGOON was very innocent, and PIRATE was kind of tongue-in-cheek about how pretty he was. His hair was naturally straight, but curly suited him more.

R172 Oh I’m in full agreement that his 2 followups were terrible movies. They were also box office bombs that were nominated for multiple Razzie awards. And let’s face it, in most ways The Blue Lagoon was pretty bad too. I recall one critic on a website who called these 3 movies “The Fresh Meat Trilogy”, which I found amusing.

But you notice I also said “in print”. There was also his Playgirl centrefold and that notorious snake poster. To say nothing of the countless shirtless and sexed-up pinups in the teen and gossip rags. Christopher Atkins is surely one of the most exploited male actors that Hollywood ever produced. Even other contemporary pretty boys like Matt Dillon and Rob Lowe were considered to have a modicum of talent. Not Atkins.

Everyone could see he was all looks, no substance. He was treated like the male equivalent of Bo Derek or Suzanne Somers . It’s like his handlers said, “we better get this kid in anything that will play up his physicality while the heat is on!”

[quote]It’s like his handlers said, “we better get this kid in anything that will play up his physicality while the heat is on!”

And gay men everywhere applaud that decision..... with one hand.

Spot on, R175 -- and R176 :-)

R176 So many stiff and ruined socks because of Atkins!

[quote][R176] So many stiff and ruined socks because of Atkins!

There's even a song as a salute to the dried sperm in the socks.

R175 He did love attention, that's for sure.

I had to keep shoplifting his Playgirl! The pages started sticking together. and the ink started running. Atkins was almost responsible for a life of crime! They really should have laminated those things!

R179 Umm I can’t make out any of the lyrics. Dried cum? Socks? What is this song about exactly?

DNA.

r54, you definitely need to cut back on the caffeine.

Mooning for you.

Swimming; little peen shot.

Peen and balls

Oh, just for the hell of it! Get out the Kleenex.

R185 We were so close to getting hole in that shot! Just bend over a weeeeee bit more Chris! Give the people what they want!

I'm frustrated also, R189. I wanted to see if it was totally smooth or if there was a wisp of hair.

I also like The Pirate Movie......

R190 Pink and hairless and tiny little pucker just waiting for a lover’s kiss.

The Pirate Movie has become quite the cult classic. Who knew?!

R192 So warm and welcoming inside, as well.

R192, now you got me hard........

Pats, I'm 72.

R195 You’re welcome ha ha! Now you got me hard, knowing I got you hard by thinking about Christopher Atkins butthole. What a cycle !

R196 (I think you mean 62). You'll always be 19 to us, Chris.

R198 Huh?

R199 Atkins is 62, not 72.

[quote][R195] You’re welcome ha ha! Now you got me hard, knowing I got you hard by thinking about Christopher Atkins butthole. What a cycle !

Seeing or even thinking of someone I know's pink, hairless asshole is a guaranteed boner. And, Atkins offers it like no other.

Well well well.......

R202 Yessssss.

R201 I assume you mean someone you know who you find hot?

yep.

He was so pretty it was almost hard to believe he HAD a butthole!

R206 Oh, he had one, alright.

Fun fact, I came up with my own version of the Atkins diet.

He was flawless.

Look at me pounding the pud again!

He passed out after the third orgasm - delightful boy

Bump

Love these peen and butt shots!

R212 That guy made a lot of cocks hard!

Mine is still hard.

R214 You like that ass dontcha!

Bet there was a line for that ass, back in the day.

[quote][R214] You like that ass dontcha!

My tongue would have liked to have met it.

R217 Met it for drinks and a movie? As long as it puts out after ,amirite?!

Yep. It could sit on my face during the movie.

As long as you buy it popcorn and a Diet Coke first.

I think it got bought whatever it wanted. I wonder when the first time was that he came purely from ass pleasure, and who the lucky rimmer was.

R221 is an imposter.

That ass! Those beautiful “Golden Globes”! No wonder Chris was nominated for Best Newcomer in 1980.

Loved him in that Speedo on “Dallas” but he and Linda Gray didn’t have an ounce of chemistry
