Male stripper causes ‘wild reaction' at care home
Residents of a care home were delighted when a member of the Dreamboys male stripper group put on a show for them.
Max Hunter, who was a manager at a retirement village before he became a male stripper, put on a performance at Astune Rise care home in Eston, Middlesbrough.
And the elderly residents, who usually enjoy a Knit and Natter morning on Thursdays, loved it.
Home manager Caroline Bowstead said: 'We were offered a Dreamboy to come and visit.
'I spoke to the gang here and the ladies said a resounding 'yes please'.
'I've never seen a reaction like it at any event we've done, and there's been a lot of them at Astune Rise.
'The laughter, the giggles, the tears – they've loved every minute of it.
'I'm just not sure how we're going to top that, they've already asked him to come back next week for Knit and Natter.'
Mr Hunter, who used to work with older people in St Helens, Merseyside, said: 'It's been a pleasure to join the residents here.
'I used to run entertainment at retirement villages so it's an absolute privilege to be back in a care home again putting a smile on residents' faces.'
Anne Hodgson, 87, said: 'He has a nice body, nice and athletic and everything he did was lovely.
'Everybody was smiling and that's beautiful.'
Betty Hughes added: 'I loved his backside.'
Alice Woods, Dreamboys managing director, said: 'The ladies loved it, it was an incredible day.
'The reaction was absolutely wild, we had a bit of underwear thrown and a lot of laughs.
'Max did us proud and the ladies absolutely loved him.'

Lil Nas X Shares Update on Partial Facial Paralysis
Originally appeared on E! Online is getting back to his regularly scheduled 'Dreamboy summer.' Days after the 'Old Town Road' artist shared he was in the hospital after suffering from partial facial paralysis, he reassured fans that he is already on the road to recovery. 'I've been chewing a lot so I can get this muscle stronger,' Lil Nas said in an April 15 Instagram Story, pointing to the right side of his face. 'It's much better.' 'My eye still has to play catch-up but I can give a genuine smile, so that's good,' he continued. 'I'm still winking at mothaf--kers.' While the two-time Grammy winner hasn't shared the cause behind his paralysis, had a similar experience when he shared his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome in 2022. At the time, the 'Baby' singer was even forced to cancel shows before he regained full mobility in his face nine months later. More from E!

But from the very beginning, he was steadfast in approaching the scary situation with nothing but humor and positivity. 'This right eye is keeping an eye out for Selen-er,' he joked on his Instagram Stories, referencing 's verse about Justin's ex in his 2012 song. 'It do not give a f--k.' And despite his lack of complete control over his mug, the 26-year-old still made it clear that he would be taking full advantage of the summer sun. 'Can't s--t ruin Dreamboy summer,' he wrote over a photo of a beautiful ocean landscape. 'ITS TIMEEE.' Indeed, Lil Nas has since been sharing glimpses into the fabulous moments—including one of him dancing on his balcony overlooking a beautiful sunrise April 18—that prove he is doing much better. Because at first, the news of his health scare left fans extremely worried. 'When I smile, this is me doing a full smile,' the 'MONTERO' singer said in an April 14 Instagram video from a hospital bed, during which only the left half of his face lifted in a smile. Laughing through the pain, he added, 'It's like, what the f--k? Bro I can't even laugh right. Oh my god.' 'Soooo lost control of the right side of my face,' he captioned the post, alongside a crying emoji. And moments later, he took to his Instagram Story to further show the state of his condition, panning the camera from one side of his face to the other. 'I'm so cooked.

Lil Nas X Hospitalized For Mysterious Reason — And Fans Have Questions
Lil Nas X is seemingly on the mend after an unspecified health condition left half his face paralyzed. The two-time Grammy winner, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill, seemed in good spirits in a short video posted to Instagram Monday that appears to have been filmed from a hospital bed. 'This is me doing a full smile right now, by the way,' he said in the clip. 'Bro, I can't even laugh right.' In the caption of the video, Lil Nas X acknowledged he'd 'lost control of the right side of my face,' but offered no further details about his condition or what might have caused the illness. A representative for the singer and rapper did not immediately respond to HuffPost's request for comment. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ☆dreamboy. (@lilnasx) By Tuesday afternoon, Lil Nas X's post had drawn a plethora of well wishes from some of his famous friends, including actors Taraji P. Henson and Niecy Nash. Some questioned if he'd experienced a stroke, while others suggested it was likely he'd been stricken with Bell's palsy or Ramsay Hunt syndrome, two conditions known to cause temporary facial paralysis, usually on one side of the face. In 2022, Justin Bieber revealed he'd been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, prompting him to cancel his Justice World Tour after 49 performances. Though Bieber has yet to return to the concert stage, he has continued to share periodic updates regarding his health with fans on social media. Lil Nas X's announcement comes just weeks after his appearance at the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards in Los Angeles, where he and fellow musician Maren Morris presented the award for Outstanding Music Artist to Doechii. He's also been teasing a new album, 'DREAMBOY,' set for release sometime this year.
