Landon Pigg will certainly make girls swoon when they head out to the cineplex this week to check out the Ellen Page/Drew Barrymore flick, "Whip It." We have no doubt that Landon's shaggy rocker hair and laid back attitude will leave girls wanting more. So, we've decided to grant your future wish and make him this week's Hump Day Hottie.
Press play on the video below to see more of Landon and his unique style, then keep reading for more juicy details about him.
Vital Stats: The 26-year-old singer-songwriter-actor grew up in both Nashville and Chicago where his mom and his dad allowed him the room to explore his artistic tendencies. In fact, his dad worked in music studios during Landon's childhood. When he found out he earned HDH status with us, he shared: "You know when I hear things like that that I've really known I made it. It's just like yeah sure I record music sure I was in a film all that pales in comparison to HDH. And you can quote me on that. It's such an honor. And I'll write my acceptance speech."
As for his status in the love department, he led Hollywood Crush to believe he's gf-free. "Have you ever heard of the Lone Ranger?" he asked us. We'll take that as an "I'm single."
Where you might have already seen him: You may not know his face just yet, but you certainly are familiar with his music. His song, "Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop," made quite a splash when it appeared in a diamond commercial. Google the song, you'll know it once you hear it.
Why you should take notice of him now: He plays Bliss' [Ellen Page's] rocker boyfriend, Oliver, in "Whip It." And there hasn't been a pool make out scene since "Romeo + Juliet" that has made us swoon as much as the one in this flick. So, how much are Landon and his character Oliver alike? "Probably a lot. It was actually interesting trying to refine which parts were Oliver and which parts were Landon because there were so many similarities," he said, jokingly adding, "I don’t like technology either, so that’s one way we're similar."
And, if starring in the Drew Barrymore-directed flick wasn't enough fun for one week, he also has his sophomore album, "The Boy Who Never," out this week as well. "What are the chances that its' coming out in the same week? I don’t know. I'd be excited if it was just my album coming out cause I worked really hard on it and it’s a blast when it comes to fruition. For them to be in the same week, that feels like a big thing. It's fun."
Until next Wednesday, when we nominate yet another hottie, you can get the rest of your man candy fix by clicking on Landon's photo below to see who else is in our backlog of studs!
