Jesus Christ Patrick Petitjean

French hunk Patrick Petitjean has been on our radar since his Numéro Homme cover in 2006. His long, messy locks and grizzly beard was such a welcome change from the all baby-faced boys that every other magazine sports. Since then he's become the face of Prada with Linda Evangelista, and has been styled as a god and even the son of God. Seriously. Photographer Nathaniel Goldberg shot Petitjean as Poseidon, naked and by the sea for GQ Style. And for an Arena Homme + spread he was photographed as Jesus (yes, Jesus). Well, he made believers out of us.
