From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things
Clark Kent himself, Tom Welling turns 37 today. Tom has the perfect combination of hotness with a touch of dork which I happen to think is a pretty great combination!
Thomas "Tom" John Patrick Welling (born April 26, 1977) is an American actor, director, producer and model best known for his portrayal of Clark Kent in the WB/CW series Smallville.
A high-school athlete, Welling initially worked in construction and, in 1998, he successfully modeled men's clothing for several popular brands. In 2000, he made a successful transition to television. He has been nominated for and received several awards for his portrayal of Clark Kent. He also had a recurring role in Judging Amy. He has also been involved behind the camera as an executive producer and a director. His films include Cheaper by the Dozen, its sequel, the 2005 remake of The Fog, Parkland and Draft Day.
Welling was born in the lower Hudson Valley, New York on April 26, 1977. His family moved frequently, making stops in Wisconsin, Delaware, and Michigan. Welling attended Okemos High School in Okemos, Michigan, where he started acting in plays, but then switched into sports. Welling played baseball and soccer, but his favorite sport is basketball. Welling is one of four children with two older sisters, Rebecca and Jamie. His younger brother, Mark Welling, is also an actor.
On July 5, 2002, Welling married model Jamie White in Martha's Vineyard with Welling's friends and then-current Smallville co-stars Kristin Kreuk and Michael Rosenbaum in attendance. Welling and White resided in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, but returned to Los Angeles in March 2011. On October 17, 2013, White filed for divorce from Welling, citing "irreconcilable differences".
Welling has stated in YM that he dislikes interviews. He said, "I don't want to be a celebrity for the sake of being a celebrity. I want to work and then go home and live in private."
Tom or body double, the debate continues...nice view anyway!
