Manhunt Daily Wood: Jack Mackenroth


Fans of Project Runway may remember Jack Mackenroth from the show’s fourth season. Here he is in a sexy shoot by Los Angeles-based photographer Ray John Pila. Mackenroth was the first openly HIV-positive designer on the show, and had to leave the competition early due to a medical crisis. This sucked because the guy’s really talented and at least should have stuck around for some sort of swimsuit competition, cuz’ – jeesh, nice body.  He is still working as a designer, model, swims competitively, and can probably figure out how to reprogram your microwave’s clock for you. Damn him.

  1. OK this isn’t serophobic, just practical, so bitches you don’t need to be hatin’. I know how it can be hard when you’re positive to put on and keep muscle mass and how important muscle mass is in keeping yourself healthy and able to fight infections. I have a few pos friends that are on Human Growth Hormone therapy to increase muscle mass so I’m wondering if that has something to do with his physique. I mean, he definitely had a nice bod in Project Runway, but girl is stacked! Was that always there or is this HGH related? (which I’m sure many of the more vascular models are on that we’re rubbing one out to)

  2. a very handsome man…. and the minute he opens his mouth and speaks all that external maculinity goes far far far away when the whiny queen emerges

  3. I’am just happy he’s doing what he can to stay healthy, and happy. The beard looks good on him, i had to do a double take. Let’s hope he doesn’t overdue the HGH, we all knows what happens when you do too much of anything.

  4. MMM breakfast brunch lunch mid afternoon snake (ooops, andi actually did misspell and caught it ) snack and supper and late nite snack again.
    sucks guys can look so good 😉

  5. loved him on the show and looks fantastic. I would jump on him in a heartbeat. Would love to stare into theose eyes all nite long

  6. This has to be one of the sexiest guys i,ve seen on here his eyes could melt the north pole And i don,t really care for facial hair but this stud looks hot with it.

  9. Amazing! I’m so happy he is healthy. Being poz isn’t easy on the body, so I’m glad to see he’s doing so well! I’d let him ask me out!

  10. What a gorgeous man he is…those dreamy eyes, washboard abs & overall sex appeal just makes me wanna melt!!!

  11. V-8! Photoshop??? Really? Not you too! lol I choose to believe that he is healthy. It gives me hope. And sometimes, hope is all I have.

  12. Todd babes, let me tell u, I think he is a gorgeous man, and I think he was a sweetheart on PR… I for one, do not have a problem with a man being “butch” or “nelly”…

    as for the “to photoshop or not to photoshop” question, it was not meant to be a slander… most of that stuff is done by art directors/publishers, etc anyway…. for me he just looked very different from the PR days, but of course that was a while back…

    u see, I am one of those people that like to see wrinkles and age/time markings on someone’s face…. and I thought he looked in some ways better before, because he looked like someone u’d encounter on the street, in the mall, etc…. now he looks a bit like everyone else (in the media) with with a somewhat soft glow around him, like those starlets from the 40s and 50s…

    look at the first pic after the jump, no lines around his eyes? he’s in his early 40s (google his name and see the pics that pop, he has lines)…

    I’m never the one to jump on the photoshop bandwagon, but here it really made me think that…… unless he had more work done….

    btw, I really like that pic of him spread eagle, with the shadows…

  13. All this debate…he is a beautiful man living his life, and we are not reading of his death!…I would bed down with him in a heart beat…bless his sexy strong body

  14. I know you aren’t one to jump on the photoshop bandwagon. That’s why I put the “lol” in there. I hoped and still hope that you know I was teasing you. Of course, you may also be right that he may have had some work done. Seems that happens a lot now too. Either way, he looks fantastic!

  15. He’s f***ing HOT! Too bad he’s a big old nelly queen! Butch it up and I’d be on it in a heartbeat! 😉

  16. Absolutely fucking gorgeous, and proof positive that HIV is no longer the death sentence it was twenty-five years ago. Long life to you, Jack!!!

  17. @eh…you are so right on, especially from the cameo scene from Violet Tendencies. But whether its HGH or not to look like him still requires contunued healthy eating and dedicated hard work at the gym. Bravo Jack!…’cause you’re all that!!!

  18. V-8 I am 2 years away from fifty and I personally find the whole aging process & the marks of time 2 be more like doing time and I HATE IT (: (: (: & wish it would just go away !!!

  19. All right, not even kidding: I would risk HIV for a guy this amazing. This is NOT “seronormative” or whatever, just an HIV- guy who thinks this dude is so hot he would risk an unpleasant status (especially with current blog types) to get with him. I consider it a compliment.

  20. Listen guys I know I’m a little late but he just pushes up my sex appeal over its limit.I would risk getting HIV just for this man and jump in bed with him every night.This is to all you haters out there dont hate him cause you aint him.
