During the winter season you can count on three things: Holidays, cold weather and of course the Winter issue of WINGMAN! It may be cold out north of the Mason-Dixon line, but this issue of WINGMAN MAGAZINE will warm you right up. Whether you love, technology, gaming, nostalgia or Hollywood royalty, this issue will keep you coming back for more.
It all starts with a cover that will bring you back to the 80s and 90s as a child sitting in your living room playing those fantastic 8 bit video games! Actors, gamers and tech enthusiasts Scott Porter and Masi Oka will fill you with nostalgia and make you wish you were part of the classic cult 80’s film, “The Wizard.” Scott Porter is a huge gamer, nerd, comic book connoisseur while Masi Oka doesn’t just love to play videogames, he owns a gaming company and is bringing one of the all time classic video games to life on the silver screen, “Mega Man.”
Our ICON section is chock full of classic heavy hitters in the sports world and in the entertainment world. With former boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard and star of stage and screen Bebe Neuwirth in this section, it’s hard to look at without having sunglasses on to shade your eyes from the bright stars these two are. Sugar Ray Leonard needs no introductions after spending so many years in the ring and still a name that sports fanatics around the world know and love. Bebe Neuwirth has starred in some of the greatest comedic TV shows of all time as Lilith on “Cheers” and “Frasier.” But now you can see her on Broadway among many other projects.
Our comedy section has a face that you will see everywhere and our fitness section has a face that you will never see, if he does he job correctly. Comedian Michael Yo fills us in on his new comedy special “Blasian,” as well as what he would like to do in the future. Longtime stuntman Eddie Braun fills our fitness section with how to survive on Pop Tarts and coffee and how to make all of the big named actors in Hollywood look good without anyone knowing that he’s there.
Our Rising star sections for male and female will make men and women’s knees buckle. Ross Butler, star of “13 Reasons Why,” “Riverdale” and in the upcoming “Shazam!” discusses his career and his rise to stardom. In the female section we have multi-talented actress Zurin Villanueva who is starring in the new “Clueless” musical on Broadway after being a part of the “Mean Girls” Broadway show.
Our Dream Girl section has none other than Patti Murin also from television and stage. She has long been adored by fans of all genres and now that she goes back and forth between the Chicago shows on NBC, it will be hard to miss her and that captivating smile.
Last but certainly not least, our newest and very popular section, Squad Goals and this one is a doozy folks. Hollywood Royalty in the house with three children of some of the biggest actors and actresses and rock and roll band members of all time. We have Max Madsen who is the son of Michael Madsen, Ava Sambora who is the daughter of Richie Sambora and Heather Locklear and finally we have Weston Coppola who is the son of fan favorite Nicolas Cage and Grand-Nephew to Francis Ford Coppola who directed a small film called “The Godfather.”
Definitely check out this issue of WINGMAN as soon as possible, you will love every page of it and we even have an ode to Stan Lee at the beginning of the book after his recent passing.
