I generally like Daniel and Cortina work, but something here isn't working... I don't know if it's the photo, I don't know if it's this terrible outfit or maybe Paul isn't so photogenic, but something went wrong!

Paul and his love for short shorts

 

[Lucien112]

The weird cropping is effecting the men now. Look ma, no hands!

 

[KoV]

Whether it’s the styling or the photography itself, photos of Paul rarely succeed. They’re trying here, but the cropping is weird, and I don’t care for the styling.

That said, I’ll be picking up an extra copy for sure.

 

[Phuel]

He’s handsome and seems cool, but also such a desperate pickmeguy for the gheyz it’s becoming irritating.

 

[phungnam96]

Lord this is awful. The old Honcho magazine pulled a much better cover than this.

Oh yes 🥵🔥

 

[ReneSanchez]

I think that the main problem is the direct sunlight, as he has squinting eyes in every shot. I couldn't care less about Paul, but he does look hot here.

Steven Klein would do better

 

[br3ncon1]

He's really putting those pits to work lol

 

[Phuel]

George is just churning one cheap effort after another these days. In this case, a very painfully dated ModelMayhem doing Tyra’s ANTM challenge circa2007— with the theme being “Gladiator” gay-circuit.… He’ll be in the same league as Carine in no time if he continues in this lazy trajectory. That dreaded curse of once great creatives losing their touch when they reach their 60s is very real.

 

[blueorchid]

He looks like he smells SO bad.

 

[mteb123]

Dont like anything about this… They could’ve done better… Awful fashion awful photography…

 

[NYLA22]

It's just not flattering. What is with this modern-era GQ encouraging such sloppy, messy looks? Remember the Jim Nelson days when the motto was "look sharp, live smart" ? Yeah, I guess their aim was to tear that all down.

 

[KoV]

He looks like he smells SO bad.

Paul Muskal

 

[MModa]

Love the cover and all the photographs. Great to see Mescal.

 

[Alquimista]

Nice. Nice colours. He's handsome too with nice legs but the photos felt like a bad Klein copy, it doesn't have the sharpness and charm of his photoshop editing tho.

 

[MulletProof]

no shade I just wonder if he had to deflate for a new role, cause.. isn't gladiator ripped? daniel really had him doing some acrobatic work and clever cropping so that he can sell the movie but it's not quite working.

I do think magazines have done wonders with him.. hype aside, one of the first scenes of np, when they kiss for the first time and he tells her he'd rather no one knows, I remember thinking that was the first and last time we were going to see this actor cause he just.. did not have the looks (in the words of @KoV , premature aging? 16 going on 31).. then yeah, the story unfolds and you do want to see more of him, but my point is, looks alone are not his forte so stories looking somewhat good is quite an achievement imo.
