HE’S best known as Desperate Housewives hunk Mike Delfino – but James Denton looks totally different nine years after the hit show ended.
In a rare TV interview, the 58-year-old admitted he felt “uncomfortable” going shirtless for scenes as Teri Hatcher’s sexy next-door love interest.
In fact he gave up booze and junk food after getting the job on Desperate Housewives.
Starring on The Morning Show today, James said: “No, I was never okay with it. I spent most of my career playing bad guys until Housewives.
“I had never been hunky.
“I was happy to be there, don’t get me wrong, but it was uncomfortable. It follows me forever, that shirtless shot in the front yard.
“I got the scene and spat out the pizza and threw the beer down, went straight to the gym and I still didn’t get into very good shape.”
His character was killed off when he was gunned down in a heartbreaking scene.
Looking back on Mike’s exit, James said: “Terry [Hatcher] is so brilliant in this scene.
“I got a good exit… I thought they did it well and it’s heart-breaking, mainly thanks to Teri.”
After his eight-year stint on Desperate Housewives ended, James went on to play Dr Sam Radford in Good Witch.
He rarely appears in TV interviews any more – but thrilled fans on The Morning Show today.
James has two children with his personal trainer wife Erin O’Brien.
