The 54-year-old President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, posed topless for the cameras a few days ago. Now he’s a buff internet sensation.
It all happened when he was taking a trip to the Republic of Tuva with Prince Albert II of Monaco and others. They visited an archaeological excavation site, took a boat trip down the Yenisei River, went fishing and Putin stripped of his shirt.
This isn’t how we are accustomed to seeing presidents of nations, but you have to admit, he doesn’t look that bad topless. He also doesn’t mind that his picture was taken (quite a few of them were taken) since the photos are posted on the Kremlin website. So I’m not too worried about getting sent to Siberia for posting a few of the pictures here.
Maybe he was just wanting to one-up French President Nicolas Sarkozy after he flashed his pecs for the paparazzi on his visit to the United States recently. Maybe he’s showing off his masculine side. Maybe he’s showing off his sex appeal. Maybe he’s hoping for a spot with Chippendales when his term as President of Russia is over. Maybe he just wanted to fish with his shirt off.
I don’t know. What do you think?
Should we be expecting a shirtless W before too long?

Hey, if I was a 54-year-old male president of a nation and looked that buff, I’d take my shirt off too.
He liked the photos enough to post them on the Kremlin website.
