Travis Fimmel - The Barefoot Farm Boy

I became friends with Travis back in 2007, prior to his movie career moving into full swing. He was without a doubt, one of the most kind, considerate, and respectful men ever! A complete natural.

Travis Fimmel " The Barefoot Farm Boy 

Just a simple, farm boy from the Aussie outback,

With a dream to play football�"professional, at that.

But a dreaded broken leg, took away all of his hope,

And as such, he left school, rather than to stay and mope.

 

Said goodbye to friends and folk, and his family’s cattle farm,

All the cows that he had milked, all the girls that he had charmed.

He then traveled throughout Europe, worked in London as a host,

Accompanied lots of tourists, of the wealthy and utmost.

 

When he tired of this task, he then flew out to L.A.,

Spent his first night at a club, partying hard, or so they say.

With a few bucks to his name and no shoes upon his feet,

He then entered an agency�"nonetheless right off the street.

 

Twas, alas, no great surprise, that the handsome Aussie lad,

Was hired on the spot, and set up in his own pad.

But then what happened next, caused him a bit of grief,

When he found himself near naked, in a pair of Calvin briefs.

 

Add to that, billboards of him, in his jocks on every corner,

It was then he knew he wanted to become a screen performer.

Did his first acting job for prestigious Warner Brother,

Then went on to tackle more…, one after another.

 

Till this day he still remains a loving son and celebrity,

With a yearning for some land, a wife, and family.

So he can build himself a farm and the life he since dreamed of,

With his surfing, hunting, fishing�"a motorbike and favorite pub.
