''Real" is very important to Michael. And one of his biggest pet peeves, he says after a moment's thought, is "fake people." Being "real" gives Michael the kind of self-assurance that most young men struggle for years to acquire. "Honestly," he says, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper, "I know this may sound really silly, but when I was younger, I was never really insecure. At all. Never. Now I get insecure sometimes when I go places because people expect anyone in the spotlight to look a certain way. And there are mornings I wake up and my butt feels fat. But I've learned that it doesn't matter what other people think of you. You just . . . be. All I can do is be who I am and hope people like that."

"I try to just have fun with what I'm doing," says Michael. "Including playing porn star for a day!"

Here's Michael, sporting off his round rear. "I felt so nervous about taking such photos," said Michael. "But I just got comfortable and started to have fun with it. This is what I've been doing while not playing tennis!"
