Video: 'The Instinct' cover shoot...
The April issue of Instinct mag features 27-year-old Seattle native Jesse Brune, the chef extraordinaire from Bravo's "Work Out."
In the cover piece, Jesse shares a coming out episode that happened when he was 15: "I had a total fascination with New Kids On The Block. Mariah Carey too. It was all right there in [my] journal."
His sneaky kid sister read the journal and figured things out: "I so knew then," Bethany Brune says. "When I read NKOTB and Mariah Carey? C'mon! Plus, kids would say little things about Jesse being gay at school. I totally beat up all the boys!"
Jesse also talks about shedding weight he gained after enrolling in the Le Cordon Bleu program at the California School Of Culinary Arts: "With all of the cooking culinary school requires, I started noticing all my friends -- myself included -- gaining, like 50 pounds. Not cute!"
Here is some video from his photo shoot:

Since Jesse mentions his teenage years, it would be nice if he were to show some pics from that time. I'll bet he was a cute kid. He laments about his gaining weight, but he never seemed terribly overweight to me. Perhaps a little pudgy, but certainly not repulsive.
