Teddy Ruxpin, Rupert Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, Paddington Bear, and all of the Care Bears can hit the street because the only Teddy Bear we want to cuddle is Théodore Pellerin. The brunette ingénue has a smile that fans can see for miles — and that’s a good thing since the good-looker hails from the Great White North. We’re guessing the Quebec cutie was bound for fame since his mother is dancer/choreographer Marie Chouinard and his father is painter Denis Pellerin. Of course, Théodore is a rising star in his own right. And once he turned 18, he really turned us on! After making his movie debut in the Canadian film Endorphine (2015), Théo could be seen alongside Lucas Hedges, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Joel Edgerton in the biopic Boy Erased (2018). Next came Eliza Hittman’s drama Never Rarely Sometimes Always (2020) which won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize at the Berlin International Film Festival. Speaking of accolades, Mr. Pellerin picked up the Canadian Screen’s Best Actor Award for his turn in the 2018 film Family First (Chien de garde). But the up-and-comer really won us over with his shirtless portrayal of Cody Bonar in Showtime’s On Becoming a God in Central Florida (2019). The TV-MA series features Kirsten Dunst, Ted Levine, and Théo’s fab flesh! While donning a towel, the slender stud shows off his naked chest. And with a body like that, he’s on his way to becoming a god in central Florida — and the rest of the states!
