Has anyone not done g4p?
Some with extraordinary naivete continue to equate this with gayness.

Are you trying to say that perverse gay actions now are considered hetrosexual? Is this an attempt of coming out of the closet in a sneaky way?
Plenty of straight BBs indulge in gay for pay to cover the rent; what's interesting is your naivete on this.

Rumor has it that Paris always was helping sean ray with his 'oil' backstage.....
Sean: " Get my lower abs, needs more oil....lower....lower ....lower......"
Paris: " Sean, I dont think your testicles need that much oil"

But it cant be easy, nor enjoyable. Still it seems everyone at one time or other does this. Even the greats.

What about stripping, performing, dancing for a straight(female)clientele?

Extremely gay posing music in both '84 & '88; then again few BBs choose good posing music. Rather femme posing routine as well. Good physique, looked better in '88, here:



Hey I know that song.. "Baby can I hold you tonight"... i'm an 80's child... Bob looks great, how many dudes on stage today can replicate that look? We can't face the truth that can't look beautiful, so instead we fetishize drug abuse and freaky size.. Anyone who walks on stage today looking like bob paris will probably be laughed off the stage, with eggs and rotten tomatoes flying to boot..

That kind of effeminate posing & music really detracts from the presentation of a masculine physique though.

As far as today's physiques, i think Anthony's & Martinez's physiques are just as good or better.

It's not so much effeminate as classy and refined... Maybe he should have posed to the Star Wars theme, done the robot, pretended like the DJ was playing the wrong music, and all that overdone crap!

Why you guys are always so rural red neck??
Why you guys care gays so much??
I dont care who he is even if he came from mars.
The important thing is that he posed 1000 times better than BBers of now a day.

It's classy & refined, but also lacks masculinity & clearly hints at femininity, which diminishes the presentation. He didn't have to do it, if he'd have considered classy & refined routines by posers like Corney or Dickerson.

OK that's your opinion I guess... I don't see the clear hints of femininity you mention, except that his posing is "artsy"...

Others have also noticed it; too bad he had to be gay 24-7 by including it in the presentation. Dickerson didn't feel the need to include that element in the routine; excluding it i'm quite sure helped him win the Olympia.

I remember reading that Paris was gay in ironman magazine and my jaw hit the floor.  I had no idea..I was only like 16 years old and he had just made his comeback.  I saw him on american muscle doing his routine for the 88 niagra show and thoguht he looked pretty damn good, they kept on saying how women loved this guy and then he comes out of the closet....I was literally floored.

Watch him in the 1988 Mr. O vid, he's even better - near perfection. Imagine if he'd won the Mr. O that year, I'll bet the guts and 50-inch waists of today wouldn't be ruling bodybuilding.

c'mon now.  I remember all they would talk about was how the women were falling all over him wherever he went...I just couldn't see why a dude that could prolly get any chick he wanted would want to be with a dude, he was the first "celebrity" that I knew that came out of the closet.

84 you can see he had huge calve's ,leg's so-so,but for the illussion  and posing he did large leg's would have looked out of place on his build,88 he admitted he was sick and down 20 lbs from usual wght ,overdieted,i think he was 208 -218 not totally sure.great build francis benfatto posed and was smaller in height version of paris.

Did you see the end of his 1988 routine?  It wasn't included in the youtube link.  At the end of his routine, Bob lied on the ground and hugged the floor.  It was very effeminate.  I said that on ironage and got a lot of flak for it.  However, that is an objective way to look at exactly what Bob's routine was like.  What was seen in the youtube clip was more masculine - it was the end of the routine that the tone changed somewhat.

And?
Maybe he was fed up with all the time he had to do as if he was straight, may be it was a way to say I'm gay so what?

His gayness may have something to do with the way he looked. Gay people have probably more developped their sense of beauty than the common guy.
