Bel Ami's model selection seems to have ... taken a turn

Their "model of the week" 😨 Hugo Diorr

Covid has been rough on everybody.

Yup, it's pretty much over. Like SC about five years ago. Down the tubes.

Some comments from QueerClick:

"He looks just like Shari Lewis with a really nice tan! :-D"

"Who knew Barbara Streisand was transitioning?"

"Who pays for this kind of ugliness?"

Disturbing. Looks like he’s 15 years old.

Some of the comments from Bel Ami's website:

"How unkind some of these comments are If one has nothing good to say, it is as well to saying nothing."

"These images are uncomfortable viewing. While he may be of age his look clearly isn’t If this continues I will cancel my membership "

"I’m going to have to be honest and say that these photos leave me slightly uncomfortable. He just doesn’t look of age. I know some other models have looked young but these just really just have a creepy air to them"

"Hugo is one of the worst performers you've ever featured. He is gangly and ugly. A new low for Bel Ami."

"can I also give zero stars?"

"Hugo is a cutie. As for pedophiles...... they would have zero interest in Hugo. His cock and balls are too big, he has hair on places other than his head, and he's too old..... For some BA customers, these boys literally are nothing more than a piece of meat. The comments give them away. As for Hugo, I've always thought he was a fun little guy. ***** "

"No, no, no. Not even in ten years. No."

"One of the most beautiful revelations of FM ... with an ass made to go crazy and dedicate yourself deeply inside full time to discover the many pink and purple smiles of the open buttocks."

"I saw nothing in him that to me could be attributed to BelAmi. His body isn't great, his cock is on the smaller side and his looks are very average. We expect more from BelAmi models; good to exceptional looks, toned and muscular bodies (even with twinks), and above average cocks and balls. Hugo doesn't fit those minimum requirements to be a BelAmi model. Sorry."

"I think Hugo is cute enough, but I can't get past the hair. I think it's the worst head of hair in BA history!!!"

Long lost butt baby of Christian Dior?

Which one you bitches wrote that? Marry me!

It had to be a DLer because I can't imagine anyone under 45 knowing who she is.

Times are hard in central Europe right now.

Props for not being shaved but he looks 12 years old. He sure ain't no Jack Harrer.

The person who left the Shari Lewis comment signed his post with the initials "LC".

[quote]Their "model of the week" 😨 Hugo Diorr

I'm sure they meant "model of the weak."

I'm definitely not interested in this fashion trend.

OMFG! She is the equivalent of Miss Maine in the Miss USA Beauty Pageant.

Mammaw am I pretty now? 🥸

High percentage of Elven genes

What the fuck does that last part even mean?! 🤣

He does seem to be on the end of a lot of criticism.

There is a pandemic on ATM, so pickings are very slim.

r19 The English in the descriptions is always terrible, which is amusing in itself.

It looks like George Duroy (owner of Bel Ami) responded to his video premiere in the comments and said he was "20 or 21" when this was filmed and is around 25 now, so I'd gather these 4-year old videos were the dregs they dusted off and showed because they didn't have anything better.

Additional commentary:

"Such prescience from Teejay! Well, Hugo is "unusual" all right, unusually unappealing and uninspiring for BA."

"I can already hear the complaints about his looking under age and "skinny". However, I find Hugo has an unusual beauty, individual and charming, with a lovely demeanour."

"Hugo is now an experienced porn actor and shows a confidence in this early video without a trace of cockiness. I found him charming and friendly."

"No no no!"

He looks better than anyone on DL.

Where did they find that creature? Living in a tree trunk deep in the forest?

Everybody's knock, knock, knocking on heavenly Diorr.

The popularity of young bottoms that look underage is heavily the fault of guys like Legrand Wolf who have studios that make content that's basically legal underage porn. They get small, young looking twinks, that could easily be perceived as mid teens, and cast them as sons and younger brothers. Sites like Mormonboyz, Familydick, Funsizeboys, are filled with those young twinks playing underage boys while getting fucked by much older men who play doctors, parents, teachers, priests, etc.

Sites like Helix and 8teen already played on that a bit, but it was with guys the same age. You'd see underage looking twinks fucking other underage looking twinks. But nowadays it seems incest and illusions of pedophilia/ephebophilia are what's popular in the gay porn scene.

And William Higgins has gone straight down the shitter lately as well. The pandemic certainly is harsh on pr0n production houses.

Is he still alive R30?

It's been years since I was in Prague.

I see a young Barry Manilow.

R31, William himself passed away last year, but his production house is still churning out crappy videos continuously. Their models and those of BA are sometimes interchangeable.

r29 yes, before that person, guys that like young-looking guys didn't exist!

R34 Last time I went to his club in Prague in the 90s it was full of hustlers.

I think he’s cute. Too many of the Bel Ami models looked alike.

You don't have to spend a million to look like a million!

I guess the supply of suitable twinks in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Bosnia, Belarus, and Russia is exhausted now, so they’re reduced to trolling for fresh “meat” in Albania and Macedonia.

How the mighty have fallen.

R40 Macedonian meat isn't all its cracked up to be tbh

Thanks for posting this pic OP, do you know who BEL AMI hired to play Daddy Warbucks?

I can count on 1 hand, using 4 fingers, how many BelAmi models I've ever found attractive:

(In Order)

1. Ariel Vanean

2. Mick Lovell

3. Hoyt Kogan

4. Dolph Lambert

The rest might be fundamentally attractive, but they're completely devoid of sex appeal. The thing OP linked to is just...scary. The sad thing is, the delusional weirdos behind BelAmi probably think that goofy piece of shit is better looking than a non-white model.

Jack Harrer should be at the top of that list R45. That's what this unfortunate Hugo fellow needs, a good plowing by Jack. Jack turned my fave Marcel Gassion into a star.

Jack Horror!!!! The guy is a fugly midget and should be flushed down the shitter like other fugly midgets Kevin Warred-hole and Joel Birkin. They are the beginning of the decline of the Bel Ami empire.

R47, you take that back right now mister. Jack is everything. Hot, big dick, huge cum shots and great at fucking. Enough with you. Begone!

Well if you find fucking Mr Furley hot.....then he’s the guy for you.

Like any of you skeezers would turn this down.

If you listen carefully you can hear the clock ticking inside of the modified dinosaur

I always think that Belami boys are the epitome of porn actors, with the emphasis on the acting part.

We all know that they are at best bi, but predominantly gay4pay, yet they do put on a good show, regardless.

He makes The Darfur Orphan 🚶™ look morbidly obese.

Even the stage name is a turnoff. Are they now in the business of repulsing their viewers? Because they're succeeding admirably.

Are we now going through the entire catalogue of Bel Ami whores?

Marcel Gassion, Kevin Warhol, Orri Aasen and Jamie Durrell.

Raphael Nyon and Marcel Gassion

He has pubic hair and no ugly tattoos.

The positives outweigh the negatives.

I’m still laugh/crying over the Shari Lewis comment.

If that photo is from four years ago, I wonder what he looks like now. Isn't Bel Ami the one that basically houses and "refines" their actors into what they want them to look like?

I came here to say most of that, R29. But you covered it more thoroughly than I would have. Legrand Wolf is attractive, and well-endowed, but he's really unremarkable as a performer. And I don't know that it's his personal taste, the content that drives traffic to his site, or both, but there's more and more of the casting of super young looking legal young men all the time. It's a bit disturbing, frankly.

The OP Bel Ami model is not quite up to par, but for the most part, the Bel Ami boys are gorgeous. They may not be to everyone's taste, but they all look like sexy examples of eternal youth. Yes, we all like guys a bit more rugged from time to tie, but Bel Ami are certainly good-looking young men. Bel Ami have such beautiful intact cocks too, so sexy.

That's true R37.

And the behind the scenes footage is good too.

Where did they find him, a Meeno Peluce lookalike contest?

R85 My guess would be a small Czech, Slovak or Hungarian town.

Wtf he looks like a circus act

Does everybody commenting on the Bel Ami site speak English as a second language?

It's the hairdo that's really hideous... it's too big for his face and makes his look like a chia monkey.

He looks like he walked off the set of Fellini Satyricon.

I'm not keen on his hairy ass

He looks like an underfed Hobbit.

Funniest damn thread in months. I hope the poor guy doesn't read the comments about himself though.

I myself prefer the older, more rugged/muscular type but I have always thought that Bel Ami did an outstanding job of finding incredibly beautiful young men.

Agree this guy is not up to their usual standards. Maybe he's someone's nephew or something.

Has there been a change in recruitment policy?

Maybe an EU Porn regulator is required?

Is he one of Fagan's pickpockets? He could do a scene with the Artful Dodger. My favorite Bel Ami model is Manuel Rios. In fact, he's one of my favorite porn stars ever.

He looks like joanie Cunningham and Iola Boylan had a baby.

I think he will be a fine bottom. But he has to be with well hung tops like Peter, Jack, and Joel to really open him up.

So ugly he hurts my feelings

r101 yeah I'm curious how the Bel Ami models pick their names, the ones they come up with are bizarre.

r94 like most of the Bel Ami models he probably doesn't speak English so I wouldn't worry about his feelings. Oddly, on the Bel Ami website, he has what looks like five star ratings, so I think the star system are either fake or bugged because I would expect him to be more half and half. I tried giving him one star but it doesn't seem to do anything.

This website will never stop to amaze me. It contains the worst anti French that there is on the Internet but at the same time, you keep using French words. It makes no sense. In France we would never call this kind of thing "Bel Ami". Bel ami is used for pretty and tender things, it's made for friends, not porn. For porn we would use other terms that are much more erotic than that. Yeah i will never understand the Americans schizophrenia towards us.

Bel Ami is not run by Americans, r103

r103 Before you began your American-bashing you might have stopped to look that Bel Ami is not an American porn studio, it's Slovakian and films throughout Europe.

R105 "before you began your american bashing" ?? You are kidding me right? Are you aware of the number of hateful posts about French people on the DL? It may be Slovekian but y'all know about that slovakian website very well apparently. I could have spoken of the way you say La Belle (insert a man name), and so many french words while on this website insults towards the French are numerous. You'll never find the same on French Gay websites. Where is the American bashing here?????

Bel Ami has different divisions and they have some kind of touring company. There are till STUNNERS working in "Freshman". The problem for me is there isn't much heat. I will watch because some of them are quite handsome with lovely bodies and skin and they are so well photographed.

I spotted Manuel Rios early on. Very interesting boy. I think he's part Rom? Now he's getting older and his built like a shit brick house. He's very sexy.

r106 You clearly have a chip on your shoulder and seem to be far too mentally fragile to be on a forum such as DataLounge, where EVERYONE gets bashed at some point.

Also, the French-English affectations such as "La Belle ___" are used tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps before you get unreasonably outraged you should try learning English better.

R105 Also Slovakia is in Eastern Europe. In the West they know very well that Bel Ami cannot be used in erotic/porn terms.

r107 they have different studios in various places (Prague for one) but they are all owned collectively by George Duroy, who is Slovakian.

r109 You should write a letter to Bel Ami and tell them what you think of this! Don't wait, do it now! They must know how offended you are!

R108 Lol y'all are the worst at speaking languages other than English but you dare to give me lessons? On Datalounge, no other country is more victims of hatred than France. This has been discussed several times. French gays often talk about this hateful website. But I see that you are another ignorant who tries to reverse the offense and poses as a victim. If you knew the number of French words you use without making ironic or jokes, you would be ashamed of your words.

R111 you are an imbecile. you are jsut looking for troubles here, go fuck yourself

r112 Really? Because I talked with all the French gays just yesterday and most have never heard of DataLounge, because THEY DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH WELL, similar to yourself. They also told me they don't talk to you anymore because you have visible nosehair.

There used to be a webpage showing the location of the Belami flat where they used to shoot some of the videos in Budapest.

Manuel Rios is very hot and I think he’s actually gay not just gay-for-pay. There was one video where the cast and crew were good-naturedly ribbing him about his obvious crush on Brandon Manilow. (Who wouldn’t crush on that guy?)

Is he the one in the middle?

R114 Not only an imbecile but also a fucking liar. You spoke to ALL the French gays huh ??? Not even credible. Feench gays speak english better than you will never speak French since your half brain doesn't seem to irrigate at all. What a pos mfers

Yes, Rios is in the middle, r117. Manilow is the beefy guy on the left. Not sure who the other guy is

What IS that . . . [italic]thing[/italic] . . . in OP’s post?

Qui était cette cunt?

r118 hey, I told them it was mean to discriminate, maybe you can't help your excessive nosehair problem, but they insisted that not only was the visible nosehair a complete turnoff, you also routinely wet the bed when you slept over after a Grindr hookup.

French gays can be mean!

OMG, he's almost adorable! ☺

Manuel Rios can suck a cock like a champ. He also seems very down to earth and funny in all of his scenes. Never seems to fake his enjoyment of what he's doing. He's very, very special. Sigh.

r116 What makes you think he's gay?

Some of the Bel Ami guys don't have the best faces, but they have AMAZING bodies, and quite often are tattoo free.

Just a hunch really, r126. He seems much more into the sex than a lot of the other guys. The video I mentioned he looked genuinely smitten with Manilow like he had a schoolboy crush and was embarrassed all the other guys could tell. I suppose he could be bi

What about Christian Lundgren?

I read on LPSG that he may be gay.

Christian is so handsome but I doubt he dates guys in real life. What about Jerome?

I think Jerome is straight if I remember rightly.

He does have a sexual energy with Helmet though R130.

90% of the beauties posting on this thread...

R132 so your point is wearing an evening caftan makes people blind, somehow? 🤔

That is a beautiful caftan

Bel Ami is for pederasts.

R133 It makes you tiresome .

R137 as tiresome as insulting most of the people on the forum in a thread drive-by? That kind of attention-seeking tiresome?

OMG this thread gave me the best laugh I’ve had in weeks. It. Is. Everything.

R132 how is our appearance relevant? We're not the ones voluntarily getting paid to do porn, dumb cunt.

Bel Ami is not known for suspiciously underage looking twinks. Its been operating so long and seems to respect all the regulations in effect pretty scrupulously.

They're casting guys with progeria now?

They must be able to get an ointment for that, surely?

Luckily the newer guys have been better. This seems to have been a blip!

During this important period in history when we're undergoing a racial reckoning, BelAmi needs to show its commitment to antiblackness. Their next 20 models should be Black men.

If Amazon is all about supporting Black businesses (see the front page), BelAmi can advance Black empowerment.

Because Black is KING!

Gross. I am not into children.

What is that thing? Can he talk or does he just bark? Does it need a leash?

Collaborating with the present day Sean Cody is a comedown. (I love Ashton Montana.)

Does he live under a bridge?

It’s like Annie of the Amazon.

Got ourselves a good ol' Bump Bitch fest in here, R146 to R151.

Is her feral? Does he have all his shots? I don’t want rabies or tetanus!

Mother of God! What is it?

It would make an okay-looking household elf.

As a sex object? Hell, no.

Bel Ami is generally good for wholesome looking college dude types with great bodies. Also it seems like they actually have fun hanging out with other and making the films (don't know how much of that is bogus).

I was really disgusted by the fun-size boys site cited above. I love, love, love little dudes - but they have to be men - muscled, mature, even a bit craggy, suits & ties a plus. Present-day RDJ would be my type - older but still cute.

When I visited that site I was taken aback. I don't want to tell an adult what to do with their body or a youthful looking person that porn is off limits because of how they look, but dressing up as a schoolkid or boy scout or whatever and playing out getting coerced into a sex act by someone twice your size who looks three to four times your age does not sit well with me on the personal choices spectrum.

I just want to sick him dry

[quote]I just want to sick him dry

Dat's da sick job!

"Bel Ami is generally good for wholesome looking college dude types with great bodies"

IIRC most to a good majority of models trawled in Bel Ami's nets are attractive enough with decent bodies. They are then taken in hand and groomed, hit the gym, etc...

I love this guy. But then I do like very young “models.”

And their present set decoration and art direction are hideous.

Bel Ami must be feeling same sort of pressures other porn studios world over are facing.

BA once had a nice lock on gay "Buda Porn" market. Sourcing talent and so forth likely was far easier back in the day when there was less competition about. Young boys/men today have other options such as OF and other ways to make money from gay porn/modeling that doesn't involve signing up Bel Ami.

Am I about to be arrested for having clicked on that?

No more than if you click on "Fun Size" video links.

Love those sexy Bel Ami boys and their hot intact cocks. Keep 'em coming. No mutilated Americans allowed.

Who is fourth from the left?

R166 The third guy from the right has an 8 pack? What the fuck is that?

No. Ashton Montana is tall.

This twink worked briefly in 2017. 5 years ago, folks. 5 years ago, folks. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago. 5 years ago.

Bel Ami is another country. They do things differently there.

R87 I was thinking the same thing. I don't watch bel ami so not sure if they have background music, but I picture "Entrance of the Gladiators" playing.
