Christopher Atkins (born Christopher Atkins Bomann, February 21, 1961) is an American actor who became famous following his debut film role in the 1980 film The Blue Lagoon.
A friend suggested that Atkins audition for The Blue Lagoon. Atkins won the role over thousands of other actors; the film’s director, Randal Kleiser, has said that Atkins was a sailing instructor with no acting experience when he was cast in the film. In the film, he and co-star Brooke Shields played two teenager cousins who find love while living in an isolated tropical paradise after being marooned as children.
Released in 1980, the film grossed over $58 million with a production cost of $4.5 million but received a negative critical response. Atkins appeared nude (including frontal nudity) in the film, and spent much of the film wearing a loincloth. While Blue Lagoon was controversial due to its nude scenes and sexual content, it nevertheless became a “pop culture phenomenon”. Atkins was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture – Male for The Blue Lagoon.
