9. Shirtless Putin emerges as an unlikely gay icon

WHEN Vladimir Putin stripped down to the waist for the cameras, his muscled torso made headlines around the world.

And one week on, the ripples are still being felt in Russia, where he has become a sex symbol, the inspiration for men to start pumping iron, and the new darling of the gay lobby.

Few could have predicted the explosion of gossip and speculation that followed the publication of the pictures, taken while the President was on holiday with Prince Albert of Monaco in the Siberian mountains.
