Kuta ‘Cowboys’ Deny Gigolo Allegations
A number of men who appeared in “Cowboys in Paradise,” a controversial film documenting the lives of Bali’s “Kuta Cowboys,” have denied allegations that they are gigolos who service foreign tourists.
One of the men, Arnold, told SCTV that, “We are not gigolos, we are surfing instructors.”
Arnold was featured at the beginning of the movie trailer sharing his repertoire of pick up lines for the female tourists.
Arnold alleged the film maker Amit Virmani had lied to them, saying that though he had agreed to appear in the video, he did not know it was a film about male prostitution.
“I didn’t know that it was for a gigolo movie. Amit told me it would only be for holiday documentation,” he said.
