Love Is…James Cerne

While we have spoken to many hot men in the past, Loverboy has yet to interview a work of art. Till now. Yes, James Cerne go-go dances in the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art in silver hot pants as part of an art exhibition. #Priceless

So James, what exactly IS it that you do?
A lot of things. DJing mostly, but also acting, writing, producing parties, go-go dancing, getting my picture taken sometimes. I realized the other day that I’ve turned into one of those people whose job is to be themselves. Which is a terrible fit for me, because your shift never ends, and I hate to work.

Judging by your Instagram there is a fair amount of dressing up involved in your life. What is your favourite look?
My fashion maxim is, ‘Get dressed, then look at the mirror before you leave the house, and remove the first accessory you notice.’ Usually it’s my shirt.

What was this about dancing on stage in a gallery? 
I’m currently on display three hours a week at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art where I am part of a recreation of a Felix Gonzale-Torres performance art piece. I go-go dance in silver lame hot pants for a crowd of befuddled ladies, their highly uncomfortable husbands and giggling groups of school girls. I’m not nearly smart enough about art to tell you what it all means, but it is meditative and a great cardio workout- and it pays!

Who is your favourite super villain?
I can’t decide between General Zod in Superman 2 or Marla, Carla and Darla, the three supermodel jewel thieves who framed Miss Piggy in The Great Muppet Caper. They were all very glamorous.

Are there any naked photos of you online?
There are pictures with an enormous penis that belongs to someone else photoshopped onto my body. I don’t mind.

Who do you Facebook stalk?
DJs I admire mostly. But in a benign and admiring way. When it comes to DJing I always feel like the last baby duckling at the end of the line, running double time to keep up with all the other little duck DJs.

What’s the weirdest thing you find hot in a guy?
I love real long and greasy 80s hair on manly men. Non-ironic mullets and glorious WWF wrestler manes. I really wish this were a thing instead of topknots.

Who is your favourite real housewife?
The one from New Jersey who flipped a table over. She’s something else. I think she’s in prison?

Will 2015 be the year that beards disappear?
I’m not a fortune teller. But I doubt it.

What is your favourite Mariah track?
Why do you assume I like Mariah Carey?
