Photos & Videos Australian male strippers - Manpower Australia: The Thunder from Down Under

[phofman]

This thread is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the male strippers of the famous male revue "Manpower Australia", currently known as the "Thunder from Down Under" both past and present.

The Australian answer to the American Chippendales, became famous in the nineties and still tours the world today as well performing in the Excalibur Hotel in Las Vegas.

The original cast included Billy Cross, Jamie Durie, Ray Anthony, Esa Havela and Chris Routledge.

Manpower certainly made an impression on me as a teenager and young man, just as the internet came into existence!

Thanks for these photos phofman, I can't wait for more!

My faves are Esa Havela, Billy Cross, Paul Reynolds, Adam West, Milan Keyser and Jason Fly.

I like him.

David Rylah performed with Manpower between 1998 and 2000. He actually lost muscle to be a stripper. He eventually quit to pursue bodybuilding again.

David Rylah is impressive. Where is he now? I remember I could only find a few MuscleGallery photos online.

As hot as the current members of Thunder are, they can't compare to the strippers of the company's past.

Back in the 90s and 2000s they showed more skin, wore thongs all the times, showed off their hot asses.

These days they are so tame.
