Ranking every time Connor Storrie was a sexy clown in seductive photos

Before Heated Rivalry, before Criminal Minds, before the Met Gala, and before the throngs of fans shouting his name, Connor Storrie was a clown. Playing a cigarette-smoking Russian hockey star in the gay hockey romance that took the internet by storm brought Storrie near-instant A-list fame, but his career consisted of waiting tables, modeling, and clowning while he waited for that big break. Storrie threw himself into Los Angeles’ underground clown scene, an experience he credits with helping him embody roles like Ilya Rozonov in Heated Rivalry. The 26-year-old actor opened up about his past as a clown in a feature with Cultured magazine that published right after the show’s finale aired, where Storrie remembered playing a stripper who gets injured on the way to a gig. “I come in trying to be all sexy, but all of my limbs are broken,” he laughed. He later got the chance to bring this character to screen for millions of people when he was the guest host on Saturday Night Live.
