I recently had a chance to have a few words in Stockholm with Finland's Prime Minister, Juha Sipilä. He told me that Tom of Finland is very well known is his country. Tom was able to send his messages of love and freedom globally. His story is universal.

Congratulations to a brilliant cast, a committed crew, a visionary production company and a director who wouldn't give up.

No Small Actors

Even ardent fans of Tom of Finland might wonder whether his life story could possibly rival the allure of his famously bulging gay erotica. It most surely does. The film begins during World War II, during which Tom shares a secret sex life with many fellow soldiers as they await invasion.

By the late 1960s Tom (born Touko Laaksonen)  had made plenty of visits to the UK capital and thrown himself into the emerging underground leather scene, one which he had heavily influenced through his erotic art. Along with friend and leather club entrepreneur Felix Jones, he embraced a fetish flourishing London and was close to permanently sharpening his pencil in the big smoke.

Tom gave men muscle

Stamp-collecting isn't usually considered sexy. But in 2014, Finland's postal service released a limited series that had philatelists hot under the collar. Two of the stamps showed a police officer with his naked, mustachioed lover sprawled between his legs. The third featured a pair of pert male buttocks.
