Buckle Up: Bobby Tonelli spills the beans on growing up in Las Vegas

He may be a shy man around the ladies, but actor Bobby Tonelli is very open about his 'extracurricular activities'.

Yes, he watches porn.

With his partner, though?

"I have at times before," he said coolly.

He added: "Yeah, but you kind of want to do it on your own."

Taking the hot seats in this week's episode of Buckle Up are Bobby, 43, and his BFF, fellow actor Andie Chen. Not many are aware, but both are buddies and their friendship started all the way from the 2009 Channel 5 drama Fighting Spiders.

Bobby has been dating an Indonesia businesswoman for the past six years and has admitted to seeing a future with her.

As for watching porn, he commented: "I grew up in Las Vegas, of course I watch porn."

"You know we have some of the biggest porn shops in Vegas? Two to three storeys (tall)," he told Andie.

In fact, he was supposed to bring Andie there for his bachelor party but the latter never made it.

On the other hand, 34-year-old Andie was a little more coy and evasive when it came to the subject.

As Bobby questioned him on whether he had viewed any naughty films, Andie remarked: "Who doesn't watch porn?"

DOES PORN HELP KEEP THE MARRIAGE ALIVE?

"Does it help in a marriage? Does it actually help to keep the spice alive?" Bobby pressed on.

Incidentally, Andie has been married to Taiwanese actress-host Kate Pang, 35, for five years. The couple have a five-year-old son, Aden, and a two-year-old daughter, Avery.

A visibly uncomfortable Andie stammered before asking: "Are we going there now?"

"I prefer it (watching porn) individually I guess," he continued with a nervous laughter.

So there you have it folks, Andie watches porn too.

But that's not all the tea that Andie is spilling on Buckle Up because he admitted that if offered a role in Singapore's version of Fifty Shades of Grey, he would take it up.

He confessed: "I would do it if I'm convinced by the script and the team. You know like Michael Fassbender in Shame?

"I think with the right script and the right team, I might (show everything)."

ANDIE FOUND DADDYHOOD AND BECAME A 'FAT F***'

Guess this means all you thirsty fans out there might be able to see Andie bare it all someday.

Although, it's entirely possible that you might not see a sculpted bod like he had around six years ago when he and Bobby used to gym together.

Bobby revealed: "We used to go to the gym together and he was in the best shape of his life when we were training together. He was ripped.

"And then he fell in love. Found daddyhood..."

"And then I became a fat f***," Andie chimed in self-deprecatingly.

That said, the actor has trained for his role on local drama, The Good Fight; so it's entirely possible for him to turn things around in time for any role that requires him to bare his bod.

Andie can be next seen in the fengshui-based local film The Fatekeepers, and an upcoming horror film Late Night Ride.

As for Bobby, he intends to regain his own ripped physique, but as he pointed out, time is cruel.

"I want to get back there. The problem is just age. It's harder when you get older," he said.

Well, in Bobby we trust and we can't wait to see the return of Bobby Toned-nelli.

BOBBY'S KID HAS TO BE A GEEK

Speaking of 'daddyhood', Singapore's ang moh heart-throb (as christened by Andie) intends to be a father someday.

The catch?

His kid has to be a major geek.

"I think he'll make a fantastic father," said BFF Andie.

Bobby replied: "I don't know. I think I'll be more of the kid than the kid. My kid has to know Star Wars. He has to know Voltron. Dude, he has to know s***."

Regardless, we're with Andie on this and we're sure that Bobby will be a good dad.
