I wonder how well these NBA covers sell for American GQ. It looks like this edition is the playground for basketball players. So insufferable, I could NEVER see myself even flipping through this edition.

US GQ isn't that bad at all actually, though it is more commercial than fashion sometimes. I would still take Details over US GQ any day though.

a ``little´´? it IS the most commercial men´s magazine of all times. However GQ Australia to me is the most fashion forward of all the GQ. I will forever miss Vogue Hommes Japan and Men´s Vogue China. These were the best men´s FASHIONNN magazines: they were creative, pushing the boundaries of what we like to see and wear as men. Nowadays all the men´s magazines are super duper commercial and no creative whatsoever, blending in, focused on fitness and boring suits. Harper´s Bazaar Men Thailand is the best one in the market these days.

WTFFFF ??? What the hell is that??? This looks beyond ridiculous and cheesy and BAAAAAD OMG, really I can´t with this magazine. I know some of y´all will still like that but COME ON where´s the edge/fashion/cool aspects for us guys? All I see is bad photography, with a bald-unattractive actor and the WORST cover layout in the history of mankind and what the hellllll did they do with the logo being tattooed? OMGGGGGG. This reminds us all that online magazines these days are WAY BETTER than the huge mainstream men´s titles like GQ.

 

[RanThe]

I'm cool with The Rock covering GQ, but this is not good at all. I actually thought Zac Efron was going to get the cover as well.

 

[MON]

My goodness! The only thing funny here is that cover and that's NOT in a good way. What a disaster. Who agreed to this? Please let not this be the final cover please.

And the second image, what on earth?

 

[Benn98]

Horrid, and so tacky! All of it. I simply don't care for this 'actor' and his eternally deranged Colgate smile. While I get that bald guys should also get covers (once in a blue moon!), the second shot isn't helping their cause at all. And he dared to speak of becoming America's president one day??? So delusional, 'you gotta have a dream', I suppose!

It seems they choose the corniest and most annoying guys for their June covers - Chris Pratt, Channing Tatum, Rob Gronkowski.

 

[SpeakThatJDunn]

Tacky cover with the Rock. But he's a tacky actor, and the movie he's promoting is tacky too.

Tack-tastic.

 

[RedSmokeRise]

See it's covers like these that totally justify all the jokes about the way american men dress

 

[Scotty]

Wow. We really don't have a real men's fashion magazine in the US. just some douchebag ****.

Why so much hate and loathing for what is essentially the Walmart-version of the GQ brand? Just like American Vogue, they are as low as you can go in terms of “high fashion”.

Best cover they've bothered with in god knows how long... And Dwayne is hot. He's pure processed alpha-macho-cheese, but that is a hot man. And he hardly takes his cartoon-image seriously. I’ll gladly take him anytime, anyday, anywhere to that horrid, sickly-looking, all-too-serious cover of Brad with the manipulative droopy, sad puppy eyes. So pretentious. Dwayne’s cover is pure, tacky, macho fun.

What a shameless hussy!!

I find these parallels interesting and it gives some insight why guys like The Rock still have such a big following. Anyway, luckily GQ must've had both demographics in mind this month. We now have a one-dimensional and bald pro-wrestler with about as much charm and wit as garisly yellow squirt cheese for the likes of you, and a classy man with substance, who evolved not only physically but also artistically and emotionally to show us that there must be more to life than 'macho cheese', who took part in a truly memorable portfolio which pushed the boundaries of preconceived masculinity, for me and my kind. There we go then, everyone is happy!

Though I must add that I do find it quite ironic that you seem to admire this gay p*rn archetype so much despite your unrelentless distaste for the American 'lowest common denominator', and those who continually feed into it. I mean, The Rock for me is no different than, say, Channing Tatum or Joe Manga-whatever (the boyfriend of Sofia Vergara)...e.g: the type of posterboys which People magazine fellate over. Guys who seemed to have gotten where they are solely based on brawn and a complete and utter lack of any distinct acting ability. I suppose I shouldn't laugh at The Rock's far-fetched fancy of becoming president one day considering who currently holds that title!

Absolutely shameless LOL

Dwayne is a physically very handsome man that appeals to my primal core— which can be interpreted as a “lowest common denominator”... We all want to appear more sophisticated, more intellectually-evolved, more refined in our taste etc, but there’s no denying he’s a hot man— at least to me… It’s not that Dwayne, or that the gym Marys are my type, Benn. I mean, I wouldn’t want to look like Dwayne, nor have him for a boyfriend— but by chance or fate, Dawyne and I get together one night, I’m down LOL He’s like a male-version of Pamela Anderson to me. (Don’t know about Pamela, but he’s hardly a stupid person. Just the image is stupid.)

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with stooping down to a Walmart-level for American GQ. That’s the majority of the American population. And GQ, like Anna’s Vogue, is pure business-sensibility that needs to appeal to that broad population in order to sell: I hardly ever comment on these two publications since their predictable, watered down fashion is not my preference: It’s like complaining about how badly designed and constructed the clothes at Walmart are…

I’ve met many guys from the American midwest where Walmart-culture is a way of life. Walmart-taste doesn’t neglect intelligence or a willingness to be open-minded, and it definitely doesn’t neglect hotness. Frankly, I find a no-nonsense, down-to-earth personality so much more attractive than any self-absorbed, pseudo-intellectual, supposedly-refined persona… Maybe Brad is sincere and genuine in his artistic pursuits, but I can’t stand him nor those McGinley shots (...I do like a few of them).
