World’s Sexiest Couple
It didn’t take long for the paparazzi to go crazy over Elliot and Ross. The pair were followed everywhere, and they effectively became sex symbols overnight. It was a very strange transition, going from being a mid-range actor to a well-known sex symbol. Elliot wasn’t very comfortable with it, but it seems his mooning seen in The Legacy was something the he couldn’t avoid. The pair were named “Hollywood’s Sexiest Couple” on the cover of Playboy.
A New Role
In order to re-focus the attention on his career, Elliot signed up to star as the lead role in a film called The Ambush Murders. The movie was based on a true story about a black activist, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering two police officers, and a lawyer. At the time, fans were dying to see the film, and there was all kinds of build-up around the film before it came out. When people heard that Elliot was going to be starring, the anticipation only grew.
