#MancrushMonday - Hard To Resist

For today's Mancrush Monday we take a trip in the way-back machine to 2013 when ES Collection presented a new campaign: "Hard to Resist."

Described as "an an intimate conversation with Kirill Dowidoff," the spot is sensual and playful as the voiceover asks you repeatedly to look into the model's eyes.

But can you? Watch below.

Dowidoff changed his name and scruffed up his look after coming out as bisexual in an interview a few years ago.

Here's what Kirill - now known as Konstantin Kamynin - looks like today. Like a fine wine... :)
