Christopher Atkins turns 47 today, and the fact that the tribute montage below has been viewed more than 28,500 times on YouTube gives me reason to believe that I’m not the only one willing to celebrate his contribution to my coming-of-age in the ’80s by ogling him in movies like The Blue Lagoon, The Pirate Movie, and A Night in Heaven. (Just typing that last one, I feel dirty).
I wish I knew how I missed him on Dallas, in a Speedo. Wait… God bless the Internet.
So cute back in the ’80s, but now… painful to watch!!
that made me uncomfortable
I love “The Pirate Movie”.
Hot eye candy, not so hot actor. But happy b-day anyway!
Whatever happened to him?
I also love The Pirate Movie! Dreamy Christopher singing sweet pop nothings (with the help of much recording studio machinery)…
I’ll even ‘fess up to TiVoing a recent SciFi movie about him fighting giant insects.
I met Chris Atkins while on the set of a Movie he was filming in Orlando,about 18 yrs ago.He is the nicest most grounded person I’ve EVER met.He introduced himself to me & was a complete gentelman.I was on set 3 days & he talked to me often.Especially about his wife(@ the time)& his small children.What a stand up guy.Happy Birthday Chris.You deserve a HUGE come back!!!
