THOMAS DEKKER - DEKKER'S PAINFUL PHOTO SESSION

DEKKER'S PAINFUL PHOTO SESSION

Heart-throb actor THOMAS DEKKER is building up his tough guy image - he broke his nose during a gruelling photoshoot and then smiled at the damage to his body.
The actor, who stars in hit TV show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, was beaten with a baton and brutally punched during the picture session.
But he shrugged off the injuries and broke into a huge grin when he saw his face in a mirror, according to photographer Tyler Shields, who snapped the star for his new book, The Dirty Side of Glamour.
He says, "My vision for the shoot was I wanted Thomas to embody the title of my next book. I wanted him to be and feel dirty, and feel like it was real as well. When he arrived, he said to me, ‘Do whatever you want, I want this to be as amazing as it can be'.
“And I responded with ‘Well, I am going to punch you, and beat you with a police baton’. And even though he broke his nose... he kind of liked it. He showed no pain, and even smiled when he saw himself in the mirror.”
