LAS VEGAS, July 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Chippendales® knows it's so nice to be naughty and because sometimes, when once is just not enough, it's only right to do it again.

"Las Vegas couldn't get enough of Tyson," says Kevin Denberg, Managing Partner, Chippendales. "He completely embraced the role and thrived on the energy and excitement of the crowd making him a huge hit."

"Fans of Beckford will not leave the show disappointed, as he not only flexes his buff bod throughout the adult male revue, but also bares his backside in a solo act with a female member of the audience," exclaimed the Las Vegas Sun. "Beckford fits like a glove in Chippendales."

The Beckford buzz really hit after his sultry dance on stage for Las Vegas' newest headliner, Mariah Carey, went viral last spring with Carey posting: "We went to Chippendales - Tyson was there!  I mean how do you pass that up? It was so fun!  What more could we ask for?"

"I had such a blast during my first run with the Chippendales... I'm thrilled to have been asked back," says Beckford. "Performing with these talented guys, my new brothers, in front of sold-out houses at the Rio was one of the most fun times I have ever had in my career – ladies get ready, I'm coming back!"

Not only is Tyson Beckford the latest celebrity to join an exclusive roster of guest hosts at one of the top shows in Las Vegas but Chippendales is also sweetening the deal with brand new show features.  Creative Director Bryan Cheatham has given the stage production a fresh take on bringing fantasies to reality giving brides-to-be something new to blush about.  Think "Uptown Funk" meets downtown girls night out.  Not to mention Chippendales now boast a much longer, (ahem)... runway, which brings the guys closer to the fans amplifying the already intense energy of the live show.   With all the updates happening on the Rio stage, bachelorette parties and birthday girls can rest assured that one thing remains the same, the boys next door are still the fresh fun guys their party-going guests have come to love and look forward to.

Beckford's back all right... and better than ever.  While yes, he's internationally renowned for modeling clothes on his perfect form but with the Chippendales... its what's on the inside that counts.  See Tyson Beckford live at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, August 27 - September 27, 2015.

About Tyson Beckford:

Born in New York, Tyson lived in Jamaica until the age of seven and was destined, by name and person, to help give birth to and become synonymous with the term "male supermodel" from the moment his image was first captured by a photographer's lens in 1993. His arrival on the fashion scene coincided with the era that brought male models to the forefront of advertising and stifled the notion that "real men" and fashion did not exist on the same plane. Tyson's modeling career took off when he appeared in the Fall 1994, Polo Sport campaign shot by Bruce Weber. He soon landed an exclusive contract with Ralph Lauren apparel, which subsequently lasted five years and also spent three years as the spokesmodel for Polo Sport Fragrances. The resulting campaigns heralded a new direction for the Ralph Lauren/Polo Sport brand and created an international following of Tyson fans. His admirers around the world have helped raise Tyson's image to that of a brand unto itself as indicated by the sales volume of his annual calendar. He has appeared on covers and in countless editorials for Details, GQ, Essence, The Face, L'uomo Vogue, and The New York Times Magazine, among many others. Tyson was named one of People Magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People"; "Best Male Model" at the inaugural VH-1 Fashion and Music Awards; "Outstanding Male Model of the Year" at the fashion industry's Michael Awards; and, People Magazine also named him "Sexiest Male Model." He has starred in a number of music videos including 50 Cent's chart topping "21 Questions," and the Grammy Award-winning songs "Toxic" by Britney Spears and "Unbreak My Heart" by Toni Braxton. Tyson has also appeared on many television programs including "America's Next Top Model" with Tyra Banks, "Hollywood Squares," ABC's "My Wife and Kids," and he hosted the reality series "Make Me A Supermodel" on BRAVO. Tyson's film credits include "Into the Blue," "Zoolander," "Biker Boyz" and "Kings of the Evening." In 2008 he was featured in and produced the movie "Hotel California," directed by Geo Santini and, he recently co-starred in "Addicted." Having progressed from fashion model to fashion icon, the worldwide recognition his career has brought him belies the fact that there's more to Tyson than meets the eye. International success has taught him "to be humble and not to rush things" while his experience has also steered him towards "a life that is more spiritual and calm". Now Tyson makes his home in New Jersey and, when he finds time, he enjoys working on his cars and motorcycles.  After five years of development, Beckford has now released the Beckford Bar, an exercise tool designed to develop the most efficient way to keep the upper body in shape. The product will use more of your upper body, in one motion, than any other workout available (BeckfordBar.com).
