Christopher Meloni, 60, goes NAKED for Men's Health… and addresses obsession with his behind

Law & Order star Christopher Meloni knows his derriere is having ‘a moment.’

So the 60-year-old actor was more than happy to show off his backside in a cheeky new shoot for Men’s Health.

Giving the people what they want, Meloni stripped naked for the cover, masking his family heirlooms with a weight and nothing more.

It was hard to believe the actor – who is beloved as Detective Elliot Stabler in the Law& Order universe – was in his 60s as he flexed his arms, revealing bulky biceps, toned pecs and a ripped core.

In another snap, Christopher revealed his flexible side – spreading his legs out into impressive splits as he leaned his chin on his finger pensively.

One more showed the Washington, D.C. native pulling a shiny vintage car while slurping on a soft drink while another saw Mr. Meloni tanning in a tiny Speedo.

It was no wonder the star – and his body – have became one of pop culture’s latest obsessions.

Asked about the ‘cultural moment’ he’s currently having, Christopher couldn’t help but correct the interviewer and say it was his ‘a**’ that was in the spotlight.

But he wasn’t complaining.

‘It’s cool as sh*t,’ Meloni remarked. 

‘The aspect of age comes into play as far as the cover of [this magazine] and how I feel about it.’

‘A friend of mine said, “Did you ever think in a million years you’d be on the cover of Men’s Health?” I said, “Certainly not at age 60.”‘

And Meloni says he’s embracing the attention.

‘When something weird and out of the norm happens, I don’t panic. I always sit with it and go, All right, let’s experience what’s happening, because getting tenser is not going to help the situation.’

Christopher’s issue of Men’s Health arrives on newsstands August 11th 2020.
