Love Is…Lou Becker

Where do you live?
I live in Los Angeles CA. The best thing about LA is the fact that it’s the Island of The Misfit Toys. You can find anything and everyone here. Whatever your passion, religion, career, vice, interests are – you’ll find your peers here. You Just have to look.

What kind of dancing do you do? 
I’m classically trained, I started in ballet with the New Mexico Ballet Co. when I was 12 but now I mainly dance in TV and film.

You have some pretty interesting outfits going on. What has been your favourite ensemble?
Oh wow, my favorite dress up? That’s a hard one, I LOVE playing dress up. I dance with the electro pop band Hi Fashion and we have some pretty outrageous and ridiculous costumes. We like to blur the line between fashion and comedy.

Where can we see you perform?
The next thing you can see me in is a film that will be coming out this summer called LaLa Land starring Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling. It’s a modern day take on the classic movie musicals. We got to shut down the 110 Freeway (which in LA is pretty special) and dance on the hoods & roofs of cars. It was awesome.

What do you never leave the house?
Keys. Wallet. Cell Phone. That’s what I say to myself every time I leave the house. Other than that you can always bet there is some sort of bag hanging off my shoulder. I have a weakness for bags.

Who was your 90s pin up?
There were a slew of them and they all arrived on my doorstep in their underwear….on the last few pages of the International Male Catalogue. I still don’t know how this catalogue found me all the way in New Mexico but I was obsessed with the men in it. Especially the ones in their underwear!

Where would we go on a first date?
I like to do something active and fun and a little cheesy. You know, to help take the pressure off. Somewhere like miniature golf or the batting cages. Definitely not a bar.

What was the last photo of yours that got reported for nudity?
That was actually a flyer for a Pilates Class I used to teach, believe it or not. I would make risque flyers every week to get people talking and a few of them (I guess) went a little too far. Here is one that got removed by the prudes.

Who is your favourite super villain?
MALEFICENT!! She has always been the absolute coolest, with the best voice. She made you want to cross to the dark side. But Ursula is a close second, primarily because Disney modelled her on Divine and had John Waters consult for it – which is pretty dope.

What’s the ‘weirdest’ thing you find hot in a guy?
The hottest ‘weird’ thing I like on a guy are crow’s feet. Love some lines around the eyes.

What is your favourite Mariah Carey song?
‘Honey’! It’s a classic and doesn’t get old, just like honey…
