The Weekend Playlist: Chris Everingham (Updated: What’s Novak Djokovic doing here?)
All right, you’ve seen the Bench underwear ad with the members of the Philippine rugby team, you have the behind-the-scenes video on a loop, now you know what we’ve had to put up with all year—trudging after these troglodytes in different countries when we could’ve been watching the extended edition of Berlin Alexanderplatz or reading the collected works of Thomas Pynchon while listening to Gesualdo’s Tenebrae. Oh the humanity. But in the words of Uncle Ben Parker—that’s Spider-Man’s uncle, try to keep up—with great power comes great responsibility, so we shall bear this burden without. . .with minimal. . .with comparatively little complaint.
Rightmost in the print ad, wearing white, a scowl, and a retro ‘stache, is Chris Everingham. You may have seen him recently in a magazine fashion spread. Here he is at last year’s Borneo 7s tournament with fellow Bench model Ned Stephenson (who looks about 12 in this picture; in the layout you’d better hope he’s not 12).
It’s beastly out, you’re stuck at home, what do you do? You listen to Chris Everingham’s playlist.

You’re expecting shirtlessness aren’t you? Good thing we have this video from 2007 of Novak Djokovic doing karaoke. Can’t carry a tune? Take it off!

Speaking of Djoko-oke: This one’s for those of you who are still smarting from Lynn Barber’s takedown of Rafael Nadal. Djoko, of course, does all the booty shaking and ab-flashing.
