CHRISTOPHER ATKINS EXCLUSIVE FOR ESTRADA.SI
Although he starred in many films he is and probably will forever be most remembered as sea Adonis, rising from the ocean waves in classic Blue lagoon. This movie was extremely popular when it came on film screen and made Christopher Atkins one of the most adored men on silver screen and in the world and became one of Hollywood’s classics.
Although it is hard or even impossible to believe it is 40 years since legendary movie was made. Christopher Atkins, unforgettable Richard, this week –believe or not- turned 60!
No matter to that he is still very charming and handsome man as he is remembered and some decades later his sex appeal is still there.
He celebrated his birthday with small party, according to Covid situation. He kindly gave an interview about his personal matter to Estrada.si and also some exclusive photos.
During this occasion, Estrada.si wishes him all the best and happy birthday.
What it means to you being 60 years old?
I never thought I’d make it past 27! 60 is kinda spooky to me because I don’t see myself as being 60. I’m still 5 sometimes lol. It’s an old number but I’m still on the hunt in life.
What condition are you in, how do you feel?
Dealing with years of intense sports wear and tear on my body but all good! I hit the gym nearly every day.
Do you have any special wishes, plans…?
The last box in the business I want to tic is making my own film. The films I have are all family uplifting films and the flavor at this time are those type of films. I signed with Eris Talent a literary agency who are pushing my projects.
How do you feel about the fact being still good looking man?
I’m single so thank you!
How do you stay in shape?
I have been going to the gym to keep the locked up joints working and stay active. There are positive sides to A.D.D lol.
How it was on the birthday party?
It was the best birthday party ever! Nadia and Stoyan Gueorguiev are from Bulgaria and opened a new coffee shop where they fresh roast coffee. Wake-Cup-Coffee in Fairfield CT. They opened right when Covid hit. I shared that I shot a film in Bulgaria and loved it! They are a fantastic family run business (their kids help out) and it is only top quality in décor and food. I like to help the community when I can and promote through great people like you during this time of struggle. The Connecticut State Senator, Tony Hwang was there and gave an uplifting speech about community and honoring my birthday.
Do you have any regrets because of Covid and situation? I believe birthday party would be different without Covid situation.
Herd immunity is near and things will level off. All the people I know who had it were fine thank goodness and did not have a difficult time other than feeling bad. We were only allowed a certain number and everyone was Covid safe with masks. I took mine of for some pictures when no one was near. It would have been a big bash with press but Covid killed that.
Looking back would you (if it would be possible) do something different as you did? Some different decisions etc? Would you repeat some things etc?
Nope! Nadia of Wake-Cup-Coffee threw the most incredible party I could have ever dreamed of! Too bad more could not have been there!
