Koch recently starred in Issue 8, the "Pin-Up" edition of Perfect magazine. In the photo shoot, the actor and new Hollywood heartthrob is once again serving a face card that no one would dare decline…and more!
Though Koch is shown in a swimming pool for this Perfect magazine cover, images of the actor living his full "hot mechanic" fantasy stood out even more to his thirsty fans.
The very suggestive and steamy pictures, photographed by Alex La Cruz, show Koch unzipping his mechanic jumpsuit.
Koch's Perfect cover story, written by Paul Flynn (who teased an excerpt on Instagram), reads:
"While filming the amazing standalone episode five of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, Cooper wrote some of Erik's words on his trailer mirror. First, the title: 'The Hurt Man.' Then: 'For as long as I can remember, that's what I called myself. Since forever, that's always been my name.'"
The actor added, "Those words just moved me so much, you know?" Koch then commented on his deep connection to Erik Menéndez not only as a character but also as a human being.
If you really thought that this photo shoot wouldn't break the internet… well, you are sadly mistaken!
The gays are absolutely thirsty for Koch the mechanic, and it seems like thousands of people are suddenly experiencing car problems they need to fix. See the thirst for tune-ups below, and get the Perfect issue on March 3.
