Turns out the guy wowing the Super Bowl ceremony with an ASL rendition of The Star Spangled Banner is a man called John Maucere, who, according to Motherboard, also happens to be Playgirl’s “sexiest deaf guy” for their January 1990 issue.
That’s some claim to fame.
We’re just wondering whether they also had centrefolds for the other months of the year – or was Maucere the only sexy deaf guy they could find?
Anyway, here he is in action.

Put his name into YouTube and he has lots of great ASL poetry to see. Wonderful – and he’s quite handsome too!
