John DeSalvo
Ever since the incredibly handsome John DeSalvo won the Mr.
Romance Cover Model Pageant his career has been meteoric. John
has been featured in print and on television, where he is
universally dubbed, "the new Fabio." With his magnificent
physique, skin of sun-bronzed satin and sultry gaze, John has
steamed up more than three hundred romance covers…move over
Fabio! John is such a hot item that all the publishing houses are
eager to book him for the covers of their soon-to-be released
romances. Authors are equally excited to have him appear as the
image of their romantic hero. Virginia Henley was thrilled to
have John as the "naked" wonder on the cover of DESIRED; as were
Ruth Langan and Christina Dodd when he appeared on the cover of
Ruth's futuristic epic THE HIGHLANDER and Christina's THE
GREATEST LOVER IN ALL ENGLAND.
After returning from Nashville as the 1994 Mr. Romance Cover
Model winner, an elaborate victory party was given for John at
the trendy Harley Davidson Cafe in New York City. Friends, family
and the media were there to congratulate the soft spoken and sexy
cover model. Comedian Tom Arnold made an appearance at the
festivities and was impressed with John's incredible
presence–especially when John drove up on his gleaming black
"Fat Boy" Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Already a successful model and professional body builder, John
has now set his sights on a career in Hollywood. Readers can look
for John in the Warner Brothers release, "Batman Forever." One of
the perks of landing the role as a bad guy was hanging out with
superstars Tommy Lee Jones, Val Kilmer and Jim Carrey. "You
won't see my face, it's masked, but you can recognize my chest,"
laughs John, proud of his half-Italian, half-French heritage. "I
wish I could've been unmasked for my fans," he teases, "but I
know that they will still recognize me because I'm the thug with
a ponytail in a revealing sleeveless shirt!"
Landmark Productions signed him for a poster and calendar
contract and John's 1996 Calendar "Mr. Romance" was the
top-selling male calendar of the year. Romance lovers certainly
clamored for those oh-so-sexy pictures of their favorite fantasy
man. Just imagine having John in the privacy of your bedroom, or
kitchen, or closet at his very best, twelve different ways!
John has appeared as a special guest on several TV shows,
including "Entertainment Tonight," "Hard Copy," "Inside Edition,"
"F/X," "America's Talking," "Rolanda," "Live with Regis and
Kathie Lee," "TNN's Country Today" and "WABC-TV Eyewitness News."
Last month John was the special guest on "AM-Philadelphia," a
television morning show that devoted the entire episode to John
and romance. He also had a great time meeting and signing
autographs for his adoring and swooning fans at Gene's Books,
located in the second largest mall in the country in King of
Prussia. "The way the fans greeted me was incredible; they made
me feel like a superstar!" exclaims John. "Meeting my romance
fans is wonderful–their excitement and devotion is one of
the best things about being 'Mr. Romance Cover Model.'"
 "I
love all the romance fans," he says, "if it wasn't for them I
wouldn't be where I am today."
The skinny kid from a poor, single-parent home in the Bronx
has come a long way. He says he's made his mother "crazy proud."
John himself is very personable, charming, chivalrous, and
easy to look at. While he is forging a career in Hollywood, his
well-defined physique will be on countless romance covers this
fall. His fans are quite happy that he's building a career on his
ability to make otherwise rational women weak at the knees.
