| ACTOR CARLOS PONCE CHANGES SHIRTS ON "DAME CHOCOLATE |
|
The only thing soap operas love more than men taking their shirts off
is the inevitable ... rrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnggg! Every time
a man on a soap finds the time to change clothes there is always a knock
at the door. Leading to, of course, the door opening and he is
shirtless/in a towel/naked. Then the person at the door reacts.
Not that I'm complaining. It was just an observation. Carlos has an
incredible chest/pecs and you don't see that very often on tall guys,
especially actors. They can lose roles because their tits are too big
(or too small). |
