He’s the celloplaying heartthrob who has made classical music sexy, and when he’s not performing for royalty, presidents and popes, Stjepan Hauser can be found fending off his army of female fans.
“I have become Celvis,” jokes the Croatian musician when hello! meets him backstage at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles during his sellout North American tour.
Hauser, as he is known, inspires fandom usually reserved for Tom Jones, Julio Iglesias or his hero, Elvis Presley, with swooning women throwing lingerie at him.
