There are guys who pick a playground and stick to it — always the same hotel room, always the same lighting, always the same selfie angle. And then there’s George East, who seems to have decided that his naked silhouette deserved a change of scenery every couple of months.
The guy is English, curly brunette, bearded, slim, and he’s settled somewhere around Barcelona. A big part of his photos actually carries the slug georgearoundbcn — around Barcelona, like a program. We find him sitting on the terrace of a small Mediterranean house, sweatpants pulled down, cock hanging out, sneakers on his feet and gaze lost toward the horizon. It’s Sunday, it’s hot, nobody’s going to ring the doorbell. Why not take advantage?
Physique-wise, we’re looking at a natural guy — not a bodybuilder, not a waxed twink. Lean and wiry body of a guy who bikes rather than lifts weights, pale skin of an Englishman who took a Spanish season without overdoing it, bushy pubes left natural, and a nice messy brown beard that defines his jawline. Curly hair swept back, sometimes flattened by a wool beanie. The aesthetic of a guy who left London to live better, and who takes advantage of it to regularly get naked.
Where George becomes really interesting is that he doesn’t settle for the Mediterranean. Part of the photos come from a snowy forest in Scandinavia, pine trees everywhere, white ground, brown beanie on his head, hiking boots on his feet, blue wool socks — and nothing else. The guy walks naked on a frozen rock, gaze directed toward the treetops, as if he were scouting for a future outdoor sauna. If you’ve never encountered a Nordic guy coming out of a midnight winter swim, this is exactly what it looks like.
Special mention for the seasonal contrast we see scrolling through his gallery. Summer in Barcelona, winter in the Scandinavian forest, blue sky, gray sky, golden skin, frozen skin. George East has turned his nudism into a travel journal. You don’t need to subscribe to a globe-trotter YouTube channel, you just have to scroll: terrace-sun, beach-sun, trail-snow, forest-snow, back to Barcelona. Always the same guy, never the same climate. Always the same ass, never the same background.
