STRAIGHT MATE SAMPLES
MAN TO MAN
TV and radio host James Kerley is well known to audiences of Nickelodeon, Channel V and Nova radio. But he’s not all talk, he can write, too. And he has recently penned a guide for the guys called The Man Plan. DNA: How did it feel to be one of the Cleo Bachelors Of The Year? James Kerley: It’s flattering to be a part of an elite bunch of boys like that, but a little bit scary as well. There’s this realisation of having to get in shape, but you can’t cram these things like in an exam! How do you feel about gay guys finding you sexy? It’s very flattering. I’ll take compliments where I can get them. I have been hit on by guys. In fact, at the Kylie Minogue concert while my girlfriend went to the bathroom, I had some enquiries, which is always nice. It was the who are you here with kind of line – very pleasant.
“If you could transplant Ricky Gervais’ humour into Ryan Gosling’s body, we’d be onto a winner with that package!” On the subject of Kylie, who is James Kerley’s diva? Kylie. She’s been through so much stuff and she still pumps out the tunes. What a huge fan base. And she gives so much back. I’m also a big fan of Rihanna. It’s great to see people like that bounce back. Who would you turn gay for? I’m a big fan of funny people, so if you could transplant Ricky Gervais’ humour into Ryan Gosling’s body, we’d be onto a winner with that package! I think Ryan Gosling is a very charming kind of dude. I think he’s a bit of an operator. Can you explain The Man Plan? I came up with a show concept for Channel V called B430, which is about things to do before turning 30. As I approached 30, I thought there were a few areas of my life where I had to get my shit together. So, the premise of the book is a kind of get your shit together guide for guys of any description. In your life, you go through school or higher education and work with a bit of 42 DNA
