Morning Man Classic: Don Johnson!

If you watched Dakota Johnson hosting Saturday Night Live in 2015 then you saw a sweet cameo during her monologue from her parents Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.

I was in college when Don was starring in NBC’s Miami Vice and actually bought the copy of Rolling Stone magazine with him on the cover (pictured below).

Boy, Don was not only one sexy dude, he also was so super cool as undercover police detective Sonny Crockett. Loved how he dressed with those thousand dollar Versace and Hugo Boss suits over pastel cotton t-shirts.

The TV series made Don a superstar after years of working in television and film and on stage without breaking through to stardom.

Don, who turns 69 today, had a second hit series from 1996 – 2001 with Nash Bridges. More recently, he appeared in the films Book Club, When In Rome and Django Unchained and as part of the cast in the TV series From Dusk till Dawn, Blood & Oil, Sick Note and The Watchman..

Also, no gay-themed blog worth its salt would fail to mention that Don once dated Barbra Streisand and even recorded a duet with her! Til I Loved You reached #25 on the pop charts and #3 on the adult contemporary charts.

Don had released the albums Heartbeat and Let it Roll at the peak of his late 80s fame.
