Nearly two decades after becoming the music world's most famous naked
swimming baby, California high school student Spencer Elden says he feels
like a porn star.
The 17-year-old Los Angeles teenager was the centrepiece of one of the
most iconic record sleeves of all time in 1991, when a photo of him
swimming underwater graced the cover of Nirvana's hit album "Nevermind."
But Elden admitted in an interview with MTV.com that his small role in
music history has given him mixed feelings.
"It's kind of creepy that that many people have seen me naked," Elden
said. "I feel like I'm the world's biggest porn star."
"Nevermind" became a huge success for Seattle-based grunge-rock band
Nirvana, whose lead singer Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994. The
album sold over 10 million copies in the US alone.
While Elden has never seen a penny of royalties, he continues to make
money from media requests while attending school and working part-time in
a juice bar.
"It's kind of cool, knowing that I've been on an album cover, but I feel
pretty normal about it because growing up, I've always known I was the
Nirvana baby," he said.
