WHO cares if the Loch Ness monster is real, we now know the true identity of Mr. Six, the rubber-legged dancing old guy from the Six Flags amusement parks ads. He's really Danny Teeson, in his late 20s or early 30s and one of the stars of Bravo's "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl" the spin-off of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
The news was broken first on an Internet blog last week, pauldavidson.net, and confirmed to The Post by knowledgeable industry sources.
It is understood that Teeson's ad campaign is over, but Six Flags officials have insisted that a decision has not been made yet.
Teeson could not be reached for comment.
The native of England was a member of the original London cast of "Fame the Musical" and has been a choreographer for various pop stars, including Usher and Gloria Estefan.
In the national spots, Teeson played a bald, bespeckled old man who would break out into a wild dance to "We Like to Party," by the Venga Boys.

This is old news (not blaming you, blaming the press).
I read about this MORE than a week ago. And it was reported on several blogs.
I don't believe it! My husband told me from the first "that's a young guy in makeup".
The Venga Boys music drives me nuts.
The ad campaign was not a little weird.
But that guy can DANCE!
Of course he can. He's GAY sweetheart.
