Paging Vanity Smurf

Filed under: Broadway Babies > Mario Lopez

wenn1820603.jpg

As we mentioned a few weeks ago, Mario Lopez took over the role of Zach in the Broadway production of A Chorus Line.

Everything seems to be going well for Lopez….except there seems to be too much ego onstage.

Lopez seems to be a bit too in love with himself - his arms, to be precise. So much so, that he's refused to wear Zach's costume, which consists of a tan sweater with LONG sleeves.

It seems Lopez really wants to show off his biceps.

The issue is that the outfit is based on what was worn in real life by the show's creator, Michael Bennett. It's been worn countless times by every individual that's ever played Zach over the past 30 years!

But, Diva Lopez wanted to wear a simple brown shirt with SHORT sleeves to show off his biceps.

It doesn't even end there!

Apparently, Lopez has to be the only one on stage with the best body.

Throughout the play, Nick Adams, who portrays Larry the assistant choreographer to Zach, is often on stage next to Lopez.

Larry's costume has always been a navy blue tank top with the number 17 on it (for the 17 performers auditioning for the spots on the chorus). And, luckily for the audience, this Larry is hot! And built! And apparently too much better looking than Lopez, especially with larger biceps.

Inside sources are saying that Lopez didn't want to get upstaged by Adam's biceps, so he demanded requested that whenever the two are on stage together, Adams wear a long sleeve hoodie over his tank top.

Hello, Mr. Insecure!

It seems for now the show is going to have to put up with Lopez's demands, since they often require a big name to draw in audiences. Director Bob Avian, however, insists it was his idea to have Larry wear a hoodie.

Riiiiiiight.

Divas often start out with small request but always escalate to annoying demands later on.

Remember that!

    MARIO LOPEZ IS A SHORT, OBNOXIOUS, TOTAL TURD…WITH ABOUT A 2 INCH DICK, JUDGING FROM PICTURES OF HIS CROTCH…SO IT'S NOT IN THE LEAST BIT SURPRISING THAT HE HAS "LITTLE MAN-LITTLE DICK" SYNDROME, WHICH IS EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO THE "DIVA COMPLEX".

  27. Not A Real Actor then... says – reply to this

    Really…isn't he supposed to be an actor? Why is he refusing to dress in the role he is portraying? He is a joke…

    Well there nothing better than two smoking hot men on stage! Yummy!!! I wish we'd see more male skin in TV, adversting and etc. The only person who said women are not visual creatures was an unattractive MAN! Oh, and btw he was wrong!!!

  29. That is NOT hot says – reply to this

    Gross. Anything that has that many veins popping out of it ought to be contained in a dance belt.

    I saw Mario Lopez eating dinner last time I was in NYC. It was like 10:45 on a Saturday night, so I assume he had just gotten done with the show. He's tiny. Pretty muscular I guess but a small man. Teehee.

    Actually, I am a friend of Jerry Springer. He's a humble man,and he's a nice guy. However, this Mario is just too much! What a diva queen! It was only a TV dance show. Get over yourself!

    So.. I saw a promo for this with him last night on T.V. and his neck was kinda gross as well as his arms… They were just so big and not in the normal way, with all of those veins just popping out everywhere…kind of like Danny Bonaduce..all gross and not normal. I actually like Mario Lopez but geeeeeez tone it down a notch or you will lose your sex appeal.

    Re: #14 - smeejay – That is inaccurate - the type of vein development he has is a combination of genetics and fitness, although, yes, body builders who use Human Growth Hormone and steroid do have such development, they are also much more developed than he is. His muscularity appears to be that of a man who has supplemented well, eaten properly, and committed to hard hours in the gym. He has been muscular since his Slater days, and maintains his physique…and continues to develop it…

    It seems as if Mario Lopez can't get away from SBTB (Saved By The Bell) when the character he's currently playing is named Zach. When did Mario Lopez become famous enough for anything other than Realtiy TV, He's not even a good actor, for heaven sakes he was on "Pacific Blue" with Shanna Moakler thats not Emmy Material. And if anyone thinks he's super hot (which he's not, he's just got cute dimples, and those were so over rated after SBTB:The College Years was over. Does anyone remember that he was engaged to the Former Miss USA Ali Laundry, and did in fact get married. But, it was later annuled becuase she found out he cheated on her with a stripper at his bachelor party, anyone that thinks someone who'd do that is HOT, has got issues. He's a loser for trying to get his way on a Broadway show that he's lucky to be in, instead of really trying to get along with the other cast and trying to do the best job possible for the fans comming to see him. A.C. Slater = LOSER

    If ppl would stop catering to these stupid celebrities, maybe we wouldn't have to deal with all the rantings of them. Besides Mario hasn't done anything beyone Saved by the bell to start acting like a diva… Sorry assmunch but at the end of the day you just are a person like the rest who shits and farts like the next.

  54. LMFAO! says – reply to this

    La diva Lopez.

    Did anyone see DWTS last night? he wore Zach's outfit and it really looked sad on him too.

    It's like that damned Mariah and her nightgowns. You know. The outfits she wears on stage. Talentless people must show skin.

    I actually went to high school with Nick Adams (believe it or not). He has always been a great actor with a hot body and a healthy looking tan - not to mention a killer voice! I'm pretty sure he would enjoy Perez's lovely comments! It's CRAZY that I go on this site all the time, and now I get to hear about someone I actually know. Thanks Perez!

    I never knew he was THAT into himself. I mean, really. Why can't there be another good looking guy? I have girlfriends who are beautiful, and I love hanging out with them. Why would I allow looks of others to bother me? What a shallow Nepolian diva.

    He wore the sweater last night on DWTS and in dress rehearsals..so I'm not sure where you get your info.

    Well, the character he plays in Chorus line is a sadistic A*hole, and he seems to be the real thing - a vain jerk who's had everything handed to him his whole life. It's a perfect fit.

  72. L says – reply to this
    72

    Shit, he's fine. If he wasn't sporting his big arms I'd probably rip his sleeves right off. He's hot! And rumor has it, he has a big mexican dick. Perez should take some notes on how to keep in shape before throwing stones in glass houses. Let me refer to my phisical attractiveness meter - better to look like a super tweezed wanna be celebrity out of shape fat pig or a handsome well built guy with a REAL show business career…hmmm…it's a no brainer for me, but all you pig followers can roll around in the mud with your Perez Pig while I roll around with Mario no question about it!! Ya'll are a bunch of jealous haters… BITTER, party of Perez…go on little followers…let the big fat man tell you who's good, bad, cool, ugly (pointing out the ugly is so ironic for perez) whatever…Jealous Perez only wishes he could even get close to someone like Mario..WAY OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE QUEER.

  73. Cashdollar says – reply to this
    73

    Honey, show off those arms…very nice!!!! But he was just on DWTS last night, and he wore the brown sweater. I would rather see the hot body, instead of him hiding it. And what is with everyone whoever sees someone with a hot body goes and says it is because of drugs? I am so tired of hearing that. Besides, Mario has always had a nice body, so over the years when you keep working out, you will get bigger.

  74. Kelly Kapowski says – reply to this
    74

    I always thought that he was such an overly groomed poser—so obviously in love with himself. Such a turn-off! Then I really hated him after he cheated on Ali Landry on their honeymoon–what a tool.

    Looks like he's taking Human Growth Hormone. He's working out, but he's getting some "help". Many of these actors are just idiots. Does anything really surprise you anymore?
