MAN OF STYLE: MARIO LOPEZ

Having reached teen stardom status on the hit sitcom Saved by the Bell, Mario Lopez has had a remarkable four-decade career that includes major success on Broadway, radio and YouTube, not to mention as an author of best-selling books, and, most notably, as host of the entertainment show Extra.

Not surprisingly, he’s just as a successful as a husband and parent, which is why he is being honored as a “Father of the Year” at this year’s annual 77th Annual Father of the Year Awards, which will be presented at the Sheraton New York Times Square on Monday, June 11.

The youthful-looking 44-year-old Lopez is also always impeccably dressed, so MR decided to ask him some questions about his personal style in advance of being honored next week.
