I was 8 years old when I saw the film, Meatballs. More importantly, it was the film that introduced me to a chubby actor who I felt an instant attraction with, Keith Knight. (Little did I know that I will see him in another film a few years later but never realized it was him.)
I remember being attracted to his character, Larry/Fink. I loved how he wore extremely tight clothing that were oftentimes too small for his chubby frame. I was too young to understand the concept of “nerdy/geeky” at the time, but I guess part of me was attracted to such “nerdy” demeanor. Of course, being 8 years old, I never had a sexual attraction towards him. I just thought that he looked unbelievably beautiful.

While I was making that “Meatballs” collage, I found out from IMDB that Mr. Keith Knight had passed away last year on August 22. He was only 51 years old.
Dont forget him as Holace in My Bloody Valentine
I also thought he was very very attractive. I wish he had been in more.
OMGOMGOMG. Kendall? KENDALL? KENDALL???!!!
Oh my gosh, I am deeply honored that you have posted on my blog. BIG BIG FAN, here. We’ve always talked about you in my old Bearmythology Yahoo Group. Speaking of the old group, I still remember how Brutus Buffalo, a good friend of yours, had mailed me a videotaped copy of Joey Buttafuoco’s celebrity boxing match against Chyna simply because I missed taping it. Oh dear me, I’m babbling like a little schoolgirl. I only mentioned Brutus because “Everyone’s A Killer” is my favorite music video of yours, Kendall. And “that’s no lie!”
Aaargh! 🙂
Big Big BIG BIG HUGS, my supersexybeautifulhandsome bear,
