How low can a towel go? Pretty low, when it comes to Bryan Tanaka, a dancer and choreographer who’s toured with Mariah Carey (and dated her, too). In fact, it was in the reality TV show Mariah’s World when this hottie from Washington state appeared on screen in 2017 clad only in said low towel, showing every bit of his sculpted abs, plus a delicious portion of that delectable V leading to the promise land. In the same episode, he jumped out of a cake to celebrate Mimi’s anniversary, shirtless but wearing a bow-tie and black pants, gyrating like a male stripper. “Magic Tanaka” is what he declared himself, and it truly was magical. Bryan’s dance skills can also be seen in the Rihanna—Good Girl Gone Bad: Live (2008) documentary, and in Beyoncé—I Am...Yours (2009) documentary, as well as in Mariah’s music video for “A No No” in 2019. He was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award for best choreography for the “Video Phone” video by Beyoncé featuring Lady Gaga, and has also shared the stage with Madonna, Usher, and Chris Brown. Elsewhere on TV, you’ve seen him episodes of Entourage in 2006, All the Right Moves in 2012, and as a member of the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers on Dancing With the Stars in 2012. On the big screen, he was one of the echo dancers in La La Land (2016) with Ryan Gosling, a businessman in San Andreas (2015) with The Rock, and a carnival patron in I Am Number Four (2011) with Alex Pettyfer. Don’t you worry, Bryan. You’re number one in Mr. Man’s book. Especially if you let that towel drop just a little bit lower…
