We knew all about his extensive (and often naked) modeling career already, but we totally forgot until COLT's John Rutherford dusted off these photos today that Tony Ward (who far too many people still insist on referring to as "Madonna's former boy toy") was a COLT Man as well, appearing as "Franco Kier" in photosets shot by the legendary Jim French. And now that we're looking at them again ... well, we can't quite understand why she didn't hold on to him longer. (Sorry Tony; maybe it's time for us to stop making that association too.) More photos after the jump.
