Nathan Gunn Talks About "Sexiest" Award

Nathan Gunn: Too Sexy for His Shirt

Barihunk Nathan Gunn was recently interviewed by the Orange County Register in anticipation of his upcoming appearance at the Segerstrom Center's Cabaret Series from March 24-27. We enjoyed this little tidbit:

Register: How did you react to People magazine's award [as one of the Sexiest Men Alive]? What's it like being a sex object as well as an opera star?

Gunn: It's kind of funny; flattering too. Mostly I was glad they didn't rank me. I caught a lot of flak from my buddies, of course. But I think something like that is good for my business. It helps break down those old outmoded stereotypes about opera.
