What do we love about daytime's latest Australian import? The fact that Paul Leyden is an imprint for quality imperfection; the lean actor with the golden hue freely admits his vices ("I only smoke cigarettes when I'm out." F.Y.I.: Camel is his butt of choice), is notorious for blunt one-liners ("Award shows are more fun the more drunk you are."), and by all accounts is a fine human being with a remarkable affinity for music, life, and people. To be in Leyden's company is a defining moment in which one of the "beautiful" people defies the vapidity often attributed to them. He's a true friend, never posing as a pretty imitation.

Photographer Fabrice Trombert believes that "you can't take a bad picture of this guy --- ever." We agree.
