Remember that infamous infant from the cover of Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album? Well he is all grown up and still making money form being that swimming babe. 17 year-old Spencer Elden was recently paid $1,000 to re-enact the famous pool pose for photographers. The original shoot only paid $200.
Elden says “stuff happens like random cool situations where I get paid $500 just to go hang out.People just call me up and they’re like, ‘Hey you’re the Nirvana baby, right? Well just come and swim in my pool and we’ll give you some money.’ ” -CNN.com
Not bad dough for just doing a little dunk under water, eh?
Aside from swimming kids, Nirvana is also well known for the tragic suicide death of it’s front man Kurt Cobain. Cobain was found dead in his Seattle home of an apparent shotgun wound to the head and with three times the lethal amount of heroin in his system.
