RG Beefcake and Boyfriends: Maxwell Jenkins: The "Lost in Space" guy all grown up, hanging with Kevin Bacon, doing acrobatics, and showing his abs

I was surprised to discover that Kevin Bacon's son on The Bondsman (2025) is played by Maxwell Jenkins, Will Robinson on the Lost in Space reboot, all grown up and rather buffed.

Wait -- how did that happen. Isn't he a little kid?

Time for a profile.

Born in 2005, Max and his sister Samantha grew up performing in the Midnight Circus with their parents, Jeffrey and Julie Jenkins. A 2017 newspaper article states that they had raised $900,000 for the Chicago Parks

Max still performs on occasion, but his first love is the theater. He began appearing on camera in the tv series tv series Betrayal (2013-14), about a woman cheating on her husband. Probably playing her young son.

Then came guest spots on Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, Sensate, Joe Bell, and Family Man.

And Lost in Space (2018-21), a dramatic take on the 1960s camp classic, with many colonists, not just the Robinsons, zapped onto a weird alien planet -- or two or three, as the series progressed.

I didn't actually care for it -- too much angst and agony, and not enough beefcake.

Although Toby Stephens, who played Will's dad John Robinson, has displayed his cock and butt elsewhere.

More after the break

After Lost, Max played the Young Reacher in six episodes of the titular series (2022).

Jordan in all ten episodes of Dear Edward (2023), with Colin O'Brien as the sole survivor of an airplane crash. Jordan is his older brother, who died in the crash (and has a secret girlfriend).

Arcadian (2024), featuring Nicholas Cage as a father with two sons trying to survive in a post-Apocalyptic world. Thomas (Max) has a secret girlfriend. Joseph (Jaeden Martell) doesn't.

This Too Shall Pass (2024): Simon (Max), raised in a strict Mormon household, crosses the border into Canada with his friends for a journey of self-discovery. There are no reviews online, so I can't tell if any of them are gay, but one of the friends is Aidan Laprete, seen here howling at the moon in The Wilds (2024)

Not a bad resume for someone who graduated from high school in 2024.

According to his Facebook, Max is an actor, acrobat, Chicago public school kid, and mandolin player. I didn't find any mandolin pics, but he's using his acrobatics skill as a cheerleader at UCLA. He's nineteen, so it's ok to notice what you noticed.
