FHM is a monthly publication that give guys what they want. Everything from the most beautiful woman in the world, cars, fitness, food, sport, fashion to tech, gadgets, travel and gaming. If you're a guy, we will have something of interest for you.
In every issue of FHM I’ve worked on over the past three years, at least one story, piece of advice or quote has without fail jumped out of these hallowed pages and followed me home. For me, that’s what turns a good magazine into a goddamn excellent one. In this issue, it found me on page 36. Wes Borland (right), the 40-year-old Limp Bizkit guitar legend, tells us, “I’m now the age my dad was when I really started to look up to him for guidance. I think about that a lot.” Maybe it grabbed me because I didn’t expect to hear such poignant words from a guy I once saw playing to a sold-out venue dressed in only a straw hat and Y-fronts. Or maybe it’s because those 24…
WE LOST A BIG’UN He’s gone. After four years at the helm of FHM, editor Joe has decided to jump ship and doggy paddle his way towards pastures new. He poured his heart and soul into every single issue of this glorious mag, truly making it what it is today. We’re sure you’ll miss him as much as we all will. Good luck, cap’n! WE MET LIL’ BECKS Imagine the pressure of being David Beckham’s son. Brooklyn’s probably tried going off the rails, only to find his dad has already tried out every rebellious hairstyle in existence. Dreadlocks, maybe? Get in there before it’s too late, little guy. Anyway, we met him and he was very polite. WE LOOKED REALLY COOL There’s only one pre-requisite to becoming a cover star…
Learning from the best I love the new FHM size, especially because it came in handy for decorating my son Saul’s homework diary. Now, if you can help him with his eight times tables, too, that would be great. Neil, via email DJ BBQ says: “I am truly honoured by this little duderino. One problem though: this kid’s clearly a freakin’ genius with no need for homework. How about an Earthtremblin’ speaker system instead? Congrats – stay rad.” Playing with fire Summer’s Greatest Jobs reminded me I’m fortunate to be in a job I love. When I first started as a firefighter, I did it ’cos I thought it would get me some hot chicks, but I soon grew to love it. It’s not a job – it’s an adventure…
Got something really bloody insightful to say about the mag? Then tell us about it already! To celebrate the release of No Offence on DVD on 10 August, we’re giving away a 32in TV and a copy of the show. From Shameless creator Paul Abbott, the hit cop comedy is back on our screens for a second series at the start of 2016, and we’re pretty damn excited. All you’ve got to do is send us your letter (with a picture if possible) via one of the ways on the opposite page and the prize could be yours!…
“WE HAD OREO ICE CREAM MILKSHAKES AT 2AM WHILE WEARING OUR OSCARS DRESSES” WHO SHE? From: Liverpool Likes: Oreo milkshakes, martial arts Twitter: @iamnatalieloren Instagram: @iamnloren If the American Dream exists, LA is the city in which it gets crushed. Armies of young, fresh-faced aspiring actors flock to La La Land by the gazillions, absolutely convinced they’ve got what it takes to make the big time, impress big-shot directors and wow their way on to the silver screen. Does it happen? Does it footballs. Get talking to anyone in LA and they’ll most likely tell you they’re an actress… as they clear your plates and hand you a receipt, or ‘check’.LA, like a Jurassic World dinosaur, will eat you alive. So it takes a special type of person to break…
