hunky

Diggs, a member of the original Broadway company of “Rent,” had become a sex symbol, fresh off his star-making role as Angela Bassett’s hunky love interest in “How Stella Got Her Groove Back.”

Next came the front covers of both Hunky Dory and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars - the latter famously depicting Bowie's alien alter ego in a rainy Heddon Street in London's West End, leg propped up and guitar in hand.

The film’s central romance and its twisty complications were dreamed up by the director and his co-writer Powell, an official Internet Boyfriend who makes a meal out of his character’s nerdy/hunky dichotomy.

Between slightly cheeky lyrics like “I think of you and lick my lips, you've got the taste that I can't resist” and “you’re chunky and hunky, I'm coming back for more” is the ear-worm of a chorus: McDonald's, McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut.

The hunky actor’s appeal gives the writers latitude with character.
