Newest Gay Icon? Bordeaux’s Yoann Gourcuff

Cristiano Ronaldo, step aside. There’s a new gay icon in town.

The French magazine Têtu has named Bordeaux’s Yoann Gourcuff its latest “Bomb of the Month.”

Rough translation from RMC.fr:

The December issue of Têtu has named Yoann Gourcuff its “bomb of the month.” The monthly gay magazine talks about the “doe eyes, rebellious locks, and tapering thighs” of the Girondins’ and France National Team’s newest #10. A check with the gay community also indicates that in Breton, “Gourcuff” … means “sweet man.”* When it comes to the “Bomb of the Month” title, Gourcuff succeeds Cristiano Ronaldo.

The only thing I would like to add to this is that, for the record, Yoann Gourcuff has never, not even once, set off my finely-honed gaydar. But I think that’s completely irrelevant here.

EXTRA!! EXTRA!! HOT OFF THE PRESSES!! And don’t forget to check out these Yoann-strips-to-his-underwear photos from Friday’s Bordeaux-Valenciennes game. (Or…um…yeah. I’m told that’s what they are. I, of course, averted my eyes.)

(Thanks, Jennifer!)
