John Abraham

Bio:
John Abraham was born in Mumbai on December 17, 1972 and has lived there his whole life. As a young boy, he attended the Bombay Scottish School where he was always in the top fifteen of his class.
He was always in love with soccer and coached the Bombay Scottish soccer team for a while. John Abraham has always described himself as an athlete. While in school, his specialty was the sprint. He specialized in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Then while he was in college he took up Taekwondo, which allowed him to study with master Javed Khan.
While in college, Abraham BA honors in economics. After earning his bachelor’s degree, he went onto to his MMS from Mumbai Educational Trust. However, he would eventually drop out of the course.
It was while working as a media planner at a Mumbai ad agency, Enterprise-Nexus, that John Abraham received his first taste of modeling. One day a model ditched a shoot and Abraham’s boss asked him to fill in for the absent model.
Then in March of 1999 Abraham entered the Glad Rags Manhunt and reached the finals. He flew down to the Philippines and was the first runner up. After that, Abraham began his career as a model.
He was signed by Carrie Models in Singapore. This allowed him to travel all over the world on modeling assignments, such as Hong Kong, London, and New York. During this time, Abraham was also appearing in music videos. Eventually his modeling career sent him back to India and back to advertising.
But this time John Abraham was in a different role. The media planner had become the model. He first TV commercial was for Cinthol. He also became the first Asian model for Levis.
John Abraham never originally considered himself to be an actor. That was until he was offered a role on the big screen by Pritish Nandy. The project wound up being shelved but it opened a new door for Abraham.
He began to study films and actors to ensure that he would make it on the big screen. Abraham’s first starring role came on January 17, 2003 in the film ‘Jism.’ The role thrust Abraham into the spotlight and he starred in a slew of films.
Abraham describes his experience on the set ‘Dhoom’ as ‘the most fun I’ve had with my pants on.’ This was mostly due to the fact that he spent a large junk of his filming riding around on the Suzuki Hayabusa.
In 2005 his film ‘Water’ premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. Abraham called this experience a ‘humbling event.’ John Abraham has consistently worked in films since his breakthrough in 2003 and shows no signs of slowing down. He is involved with eight film projects set to come out in 2009 and 2010.
John Abraham has been dating Bipasha Basu since 2002.
John Abraham and Akshay Kumar Pole Dancing?
May 28 2009 10:45 PST
So this next bit of news just might be every Bollywood fan girl's fantasy come true! Picture this - the sexy John Abraham and Akshay Kumar shaking their money makers and sashaying around stripper poles! Think you're dreaming? Well, it turns out this little scene could turn into reality if director David Dhawan's son Rohit lands this cast for his directorial debut. Word is, the film is about two men who are unemployed dudes down on their luck due to the global recession (how timely!) So in order to get some cash in their pockets they end up working in a strip club where they pole dance and try to out do each other! We hear John and Akshay are the two guys tapped to likely play the characters.
Reportedly the film will be produced by Akshay himself! And after seeing the John - Akshay pairing in the comedy film, 'Garam Masala,' we're pretty sure this film will be a laugh riot as well. Plus the two manly men share great chemistry and comedic timing together.
Now as for the strip tease aspect! After seeing John in his tiny yellow trunks and equally tiny gray boxer-briefs, we can safely say John Abraham will probably have no issues with stripping down for the film. Plus John even took it all off for his upcoming film, 'New York.' There's no denying John's legions of fans will happily lap up another bout of skin from him! And judging from Akshay's recent strip down on the cat walk at Lakme Fashion Week, seems like he'll have no issues with it either!
Phew! How hot will that be?! Now while both John Abraham and Akshay Kumar have been silent about the film thus far, we hear they will be heading to Los Angeles soon to learn how to pole dance! Damn, now wouldn't you love to be a fly on that wall?!
