  • thats us british for ya up tight, good on him

    he looks comfortable n people aint reacting that bad

    hes got guts.......and a nice a*s

  • And the award for sexiest male arse on display on the plinth over the summer goes to...well, it's no contest, is it?

  • I admire you for having the balls to do it. You're in great shape and a nice bum! Fancy a repeat in Paris?

  • superb statement, brave and handsome guy in a chilled and compelling statement. keep on doing it !

  • Well done Simon! What a brilliant piece of history you have created showing that the naked body is there to be admired. The one who complained needs to remember that children would have no issues about nudity if it were not for adults planting the thoughts in their minds that being naked is bad. You have proved to the masses it is not.

  • Just wondered how your hecklers were. Mine were nasty, and none of the other naked plinthers seemed to have got as bad. Not sure if it was the 4am spot, the dregs of bank holiday drunkenness, the symbolic castration or anomalous gender that caused it. ps i based my male posing on yours!!!

  • What a hot number ! Pity I was not in London to see it. We should have more like him to make anyone's day.

  • Hey cheeky french tart! We love you in L.A. Cheers, ~A

  • There's always one isn't there? And I mean the moaner who complained to the police not the bloke getting his kit off. Its a man not wearing clothes hardly an outrage.

  • Absolutely fantastic. In America the cops would have been all over themselves to arrest you but you are truly a liberated soul and are to be congratulated. As the years go by you will be so grateful that you experienced total Nakedness before the masses. So beautiful. Good Luck in all of your future.

  • How nice to see such a handsome guy with the confidence to stand there naked for an hour. I've watched it several times now! I wish I had the body and the courage to do the same.

  • well done! Nice bum too

  • Good for you, well done!! The older you get, the more you will be pleased that you did that. Take every opportunity.

  • ah la tête de nos policiers si ce "happening" se produisait à Berne, notre capitale fédérale...

    Le jeune homme a du cran et n'est pas mal de sa personne, mais ses terribles tatouages nous gâchent un paysage intéressant...

  • Hi Justin. I enjoyed seeing you on the plinth. You were iving work of art. Count me as one of your many admirers.

    I bet you are loving all the attention. Well deserved!

  • Good on ya, mate! Just wish I had the balls (no pun etc) to do it. You're a good looking young lad who keeps himself in shape and nothing to hide, so why not? Can't believe someone complained about it though - worse than that is his kids now think that the naked form is shameful, even criminal. Kudos to ya Jug!

  • Fantastic. Always good to annoy the prudes!

    Well done mate

  • Anything for art's sake, eh? Good show!

  • Well done mate! If the one man who complained about this was shocked, maybe he never gets undressed?! I am sure he'll have real trouble when it comes to educating his two sons about growing up!

  • I wouldn't kick you out of bed!

    Lovely bum too!

  • Fantastic mate. You're brave, handsome - and have a great body! Good for you. Never mind the prudes, you rock!

  • Applause!!! I only wish I had the opportunity to do likewise!

  • Pity about the tattoos.

  • The BBC are simply showing the idiocy of the common man. Pay no attention.

    The human form is a magnificent piece of evolution and has carried us from ape to man, or from God to man, either way, it is to be marvelled and respected. Worthy always of the greatest of great plinths. IS.

  • Well done Jug, I missed your original performance but enjoyed it just now!

    The small minded prude who reported you (an ex-detective, would you believe) needs to get a life. He'd better not allow his kids into any art gallery, museum or to see any sculptures!

    I bet Mr Gormley will be very pleased at your hour, you couldn't buy that kind of publicity! Best wishes, Jan.

  • Well done that man! pretty fit as well, nice lad on you 2 mate!

  • Nice work mate - if a stone statue can be naked in the capital why not a living one!

  • Well done to you - daring to be defiant. And good job on the controversy - see you made the BBC news! ;o)

  • Just heard on local radio that apparently this plinther has been reported to the Police by some prude who said it offended his kids. Perhaps they should have explained to the their kids that there is nothing wrong with the naked human form and it's nothing to be ashamed of, unlike their attitude. Hmmm... everyone else just took it in their stride. It's an art project, get over it!

  • Way to go!!! My hat (etc.) is off to you.

  • Well done! That - literally - shows some balls! Nice tats, too.

  • Very brave, a really controversial piece (pardon the pun) thrown into an unsuspecting public's face.

  • Yes Juggy!!

    Fantastic performance you cheeky thing!!

    BRAVO :D

    x

  • i dont just admire you for having the balls to do it, i admire your balls...........and the rest of your body

  • Over the garden fence will never be the same again

    WELL DONE JUG VERY CHEEKY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I just wanted to see more of your tatoos. Cameras shy'd off any close ups.

  • Pretty cheeky performance!

  • Well done mate you got some guts there. You certainly got the assets for it though... You wouldn't know how cold it was from the video, lol. Best hour I ever spent in Trafalgar sq!

  • A fine-looking man. The image at 57:56 has already given me much pleasure... :-)

  • WOW...............u have the most perfect arse ive seen for a long long time...........well done u for braving the chill. Nice tattoos too!!!!!!!!!! not to mention the rest!!!!!!!!!! well done xx

  • I was one of the tour guides on the buses going past - I was laughing too hard to guide for about ten minutes, as were my bus' passengers. Really brightened up our day - good work!

  • Superbe performance in the tradition of Antony Gormley's works. Fabulous feedback from the public at one of the busiest time on the Square.

    You ve got the body of a life model and it seems that you were at ease during one hour which is quite a long time I suppose when you are under the scrutiny of the crowd.

    Bravo!

  • Hmmm...two things struck me about this plinther's naked performance. Firstly, while previous naked male plinthers seemed to strike poses of celebration (LilacBonzai) and vulnerability (Simon_M_1), there seemed to be an air of defiance about this plinther's stance. Of course his smiles and waves meant there was nothing aggressive about it but I did discern a 'Naked man - what d'you make of it then?' message - most welcome after Simon M's enforced cover-up. Secondly, what I found really interesting were the responses of onlookers and passers-by. I so wanted to know what their expressions and exchanges indicated. Some of them almost begged to be the basis of a caption competition!

  • Hello from Canada. This guy is great. So much fun!

  • was it not cold ? im sure someone else got in the wrong for stripping down ?

  • Gwan JUG! Best Plinther EVER and it seems the ladies of all ages have stopped to admire your beauty!

  • ooo! nice *rse!

  • Thanks for the shout-out. Nice talking to your Mum on the phone. Brilliant hour. Very well done!

  • Soooooooo brave!!! Had loads of fun watching you and watching all the people's reaction to you!! Well done xx

  • Wow certainly was a lovely surprise!!!! :)

  • i admire you for having the balls to do that
