John Abraham showed off his well-toned almost bare body on the beaches of Miami in 'Dostana' and bowled over women as well as men!

Though the actor is mighty comfy about his body, he doesn't really appreciate only concentrating on that

He said, "I'm never ashamed of talking about my body. Though at times I do feel like a meat shop."

His briefest brief in 'Dostana' was the talk of the town for really long.

"Oh, that was an endorsement for Dostana. I'm never ashamed of it. I am proud of my physique. But I feel I'm also good with emotions. In fact, I perform the best when I'm unhappy. I function best when in angst."

Is that a fitting reply for all those people who thought he was expressionless?

He also doesn't mind being a gay icon.

He says, "I've been told that. And I accept it very graciously. But women have reacted as strongly to me in Dostana as men. Some have reacted to the sensuality; others to the fitness. But everyone has a query about my body.

Very often I don't know how to react. Initially, it was fun to be regarded as a body beautiful. I wonder how audiences will react to my physicality in my next release Aashayein where I've lost 30 pounds."

He doesn't forget to talk about his upcoming films. He thinks he's an offbeat actor.

He's said, "Deepa and I haven't spoken about it. As for Komagata Maru, I'd still be willing to play the other lead because it's as important as Akshay Kumar's role. It's always a pleasure working with Akshay.

He's a very positive person. We get along beautifully. Only Abbas Tyrewala's film. Beyond that I haven't really opened my account book, I'm happy doing films I'm completely convinced about.

I'd love to work with Anurag Kashyap again (after 'No Smoking'). I can talk to him for hours. Like me he's happy doing his own thing. I'm an off-roader while other actors are on the highway." Well, Mr. Body Beautiful sure has his one of a kind impressive ways
