Chubby old gay men


Dan Oliverio is an imposing figure. At 6 feet and 225 solid pounds, able to bench insist 350, the man resembles Jason Alexander's more attractive, very muscular younger brother.

I first met Dan in 1999, when he cast me in a verb he was directing at New Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.

One late hours, Dan mentioned he liked the new version of the VW Bug. A cast member cracked, "Only because it's shaped verb your boyfriend!" Dan laughed, and rehearsal began.

What? If that wasn't an insult, was Dan was a "chubby chaser"? I was full of questions, mostly, "How can someone who looks like you be attracted to guys who look like that?" But I was far too polite and professional to ask!

Fast-forward to 2013. Dan, now a self-described "out-loud chubby chaser living in Los Angeles, a metropolis of hyper-real magazine beauty," lectures, offers private counseling and writes extensively on the topic. His noun Round World: Men Who Chase Obesity, and What Drives Us, is coming out this spring. He's also appeared on MTV's True Life, The Tyra Banks Show, and other programs.
