TOKYO, Nov 24 — Fans of Japan’s phenomenally handsome gorilla Shabani will be glad to know that he is releasing his own DVD just in time for Christmas.
Titled Ikemen Sugiru Gorilla, Shabani, or Shabani, the Gorilla Who’s Just Too Hot, the DVD is produced by Nagoya’s Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Garden where he resides, RocketNews24 reported yesterday.
The 19-year-old western lowland gorilla became a heartthrob over the summer when he made the hearts of Japanese women go a-flutter with his manly good looks.
The Japanese media even nicknamed him “The Gregory Peck of gorillas.”
According to the website, the DVD can be preordered through Lawson and Mini Stop convenience stores, before it officially goes on sale at Lawson branches on December 22.
Not much information has been released about the contents of the DVD, but apparently, it will include scenes of the hunk spending time with his children and two female mates.
Yes, ladies; we’re afraid that he’s taken.
But as RocketNews24 aptly put it: “While the news that Shabani is romantically involved no doubt comes as a shock to a segment of his admirers, they can at least take heart in the fact that he and his wives are apparently receptive to the idea of open relationships.”
The website also reported that Shabani has secured his first endorsement deal, befitting of his superstar status.
Adobe have engaged him to be the “face” of their image editing software as part of a Year of the Monkey campaign.
You can view the promo below to get a taste of what to expect when his official full-length DVD comes out.
Trust us, “the world’s hottest primate” will have you at hello.
