Dan Saxon, in his 20s, from Melbourne, Australia, was selected as Mr. Nude Belvedere 2019, beating six other contenders, at Daniel Nardicio’s eighth annual Spartacus revelry, at Belvedere Guesthouse for Men, on September 7. Dan’s prizes were a $300 check and a complimentary weekend stay at Belvedere.
Men in togas, gladiators, other costumes of antiquity, or almost nothing chose Dan over other semi-finalist Clay, Mr. Nude Bevedere 2017; Manuel; Matt from Minnesota; and furry Jono, who, like Clay, had run for the title before. Contestants Jonathan and Peter were disqualified earlier in the evening.
Music was by DJ Johnny Dynell and entertainment by dancers Valmont and Danny.
