Paris Hilton Reveals Identity of Video Hunk  7/24/06

Aspiring pop star Paris Hilton has denied any romance with her sultry co-star in the video for her debut single, insisting he's merely a close friend.

Hilton reveals she was inundated with offers from male admirers to play the man she frolics with in the sea on Stars are Blind, and was worried she'd never know who to pick.

But her dilemma was solved when an old pal offered his services instead.

Hilton says, "He's my friend, I've known him for years.

"So many people approached me for the job but I didn't really know any of them. Then he rang up and I immediately knew he would be perfect."
