Jesus Luz: Candidly Up Close and Personal

Updated: Jan 23, 2010

When Jesus Luz becomes the #2 story on Anne of Carversville, I know something is going on. This is the article you’re looking for on Dlisted.

If it’s really Jesus Luz’s cock — and who has verified that fact — I say ‘God bless him.’ I assure you that porn shots aside, the size of a man’s penis has nothing to do with his sexual prowess.

As for Madonna, I saw her last night live at ‘Hope for Haiti Now’ and she looked fantastic. It’s criminal that we’ve redefined reality so that any evidence of ‘reality’ on a woman’s face discredits her. I’ll be so happy when Madonna haters find something worthwhile to do with their lives besides looking for evidence of facial hair on Madonna. Perhaps taking a good look at their own faces in the mirror is a good first step — especially into their eyes.

Meanwhile, Madonna and Jesus are hot, hot, hot. Anne

Steven Klein “Blame It on Rio” W MagazineMadonna lovers first met 22-yer-old Brazilian guy Jesus Luz in the flesh last winter, when hegot naked with her in Steven Klein’s now infamous W Magazine photo shoot. Jesus Luz was one of three male models paid $100 each for the two-day shoot with Madonna.

“The first picture session with Madonna resulted in his coming home really happy,” said his mother Cristiane Regina da Silva in an interview with a Brazilian magazine. “He even opened a bottle of champagne.” via “How Madonna Found Her Jesus”.

They’ve been inseparable ever since, and we’ve become voyeurs into a hot and steamy love affair that defies several convictions about older women and younger men.

In the case of Madonna and Luz, the 30-year age difference tests the boundaries of “are you serious?” Almost a year later, the answer seems to be “yes” they are very serious. For all the haters that describe the couple’s adventure in harsh and sleasy boytoy terms, this weekend’s NYTimes interview and story about Jesus Luz suggests that there’s real intimacy under Madonna’s Smart Sensuality down duvet.

Jesus Luz (pronounced Zhay-ZOOSE. Loose)  refuses to discuss his girlfriend and her impact on his career, saying “Let them come to their own conclusions.” Translated in Portuguese, Jesus Luz means “Jesus Light”. In Kabbalah, Jewish mystics equate God ro a ray of light.

What we learn is the beyond their bedroom bonfire, Madonna and Luz share his pre-Madonna interest in kabbalah and Luz is reflective on his past life as a poor boy in Brazil.  The naysayers who throw mud on their love affair also give Madonna no positives for her interest in global poverty and poor children.

Neither Madonna or Luz give a hoot about convincing the world that her interest in a spiritual non-celebrity life has great legs and the she and Luz may actually have something to talk about in bed.

Steven Klein “Blame It on Rio” W MagazineAbout Luz we learn:

-Luz is the son of a hospital clerical worker and a hairdresser

-Jesus Pinto na Luz has two younger brothers and moved frequently, especially after his parents split up when he was almost 5 years old.

-Luz was rather lost as a typical teenager in Brazil, although he doesn’t say that he lived in a favela in Rio.

An earlier article about Luz says that his mother Christine, a member of the growing “Evangelicals” movement, managed to enroll him in private prep school and get him into modeling.

“When I was a teenager, I thought I couldn’t do nothing in my life,” he said. “I felt very hopeless. And then something started to happen.” NYTimes

-He studied Buddhism and yoga, before an ex-girlgriend introduced him to kabbalah.

-As a teenager Luz did modeling, acting and worked at a surf shop in Ipanema.

-In 2006, Luz spent six months living in New York with an aunt and learning English.

“I grew up with many ups and downs,” he said. “I also saw the beauty of people who were living an intellectual life and also people who were humble and had nothing.” via NYTimes

Since he met Madonna a year ago, Jesus Luz has enjoyed a meteroric rise in New York. He’s another person who knows how to leverage the opportunities offered by New York, and yes — his girlfriend has helped him learn the ropes.

Jesus Luz is spinning tunes in New York, after studying at Dubspot, a D.J. school. “I like music,” Mr. Luz explained. “I like electronic music. I’m learning how to produce. It’s great to be a channel of music. It’s great to have the energy of the people going through you.” NYTimes

Madonna attended his first significant gig in New York, the PR party for “Valentino: The Last Emperor” at the Boom Boom Room at the Standard Hotel. Luz isn’t ready to fly solo in his her career but it seems that he is a patient man, one more focused and disciplined than the celeb press communicates, because that’s hardly their beat.

Luz has mixed two songs of his own so far, sone called “Sweeet Mystery” and another called “We Come From Light.” Last weekend Luz mashed together “We Come From Light” with Madonna’s “Revolver”.

As we’ve reported, Madonna’s hotline to Malawai is being reproduced in Brazil, where insider Luz can offer an inside understanding of life in poverty that neither her adopted children or officials in Malawi can give her. Tracking Madonna’s involvement in philanthropy now coincides with her love life.

HIS OWN GIG Mr. Luz worked as a D.J. at the Hiro ballroom in Chelsea last weekend. via NYTimesThe NYTimes reports Jesus Luz saying that life has been good to him. “I like the strong energy of the people in the city and how they work and run behind your ideals here,” he said. “It is very contagious in a good way. Sometimes when I look at the Statue of Liberty, I feel a sensation similar to when I look at the statue of Christ in Rio.”

I think I understand where he’s coming from. Anne
