Quite recently, French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet had unexpectedly taken a similar approach in furthering his fame. His more-than-metrosexual clothings, in addition to his suggestive poses in photographs, suggest that Thibaudet indeed was greatly influenced by Bennet.

As a result, Thibaudet is strongly backed by a solid homosexual male fanbase. As a sidenote, he seems very happy about it.

In a related story, Thibaudet on Sep. 14 was found in San Franciso, fashioning a quasi-Bennet garb.
