Matthew Rettenmund and his brilliant ‘BoyCulture’ blog have kept most of us abreast of the latest in shirtless celebrity shenanigans, as was the case in this report on Andrew Garfield going shirtless for GQ Magazine. Just sharing the wealth here, as I once promised that Garfield would be Hunk of the Day – in this tease that showed off Andrew Garfield’s naked ass no less – and which will have to become a Dazzler of the Day should more pics be released. Stay tuned…
It’s been a not-so-hot minute since we gratuitously featured a shirtless celebrity such as Zac Efron, and nobody does shirtless quite as well as Zac Efron does shirtless. Not sure which role this physique is for, or whether it requires any nude scenes, but I’m confident Efron has precisely what is needed.
The most wonderful time of the year is officially in motion as Ben Cohen announced his 2023 calendar (which at least one friend of mine awaits more eagerly than Christmas). As shot by the brilliant Leo Holden of Snooty Fox Images, Cohen’s calendar is always a visual treat, and will sell out, so visit this link if you’re interested in purchasing this decorative inspiration. Cohen was originally crowned Dazzler of the Day here (and not just once, as seen in this sexy encore).
In addition to his handsome looks, Cohen is an LGBTQ+ ally and an anti-bullying crusader, which makes him all the more beautiful. When noble intent meets a compassionate heart, great things end up happening. Check out his StandUp Foundation website here for more.
Lead singer for Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds is the thinking person’s Adam Levine, only better. Way better. Not that it’s good to compare (comparison is the thief of joy) but Reynolds and his work with Imaginary Dragons have been a dominant force in music for the past decade. Even better is his effort in bringing the LOVELOUD music festival to fruition, which was created to help raise funds for the fight against teen suicide and in support of LGBTQ youth. A man who makes good music, and a man with a good heart, is a worthy pick as Dazzler of the Day.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a proper gratuitous shirtless post in these parts, and before summer leaves, let’s celebrate the shirtless male form with these celebrities doffing their clothes. First up, with two pictures that still can’t quite contain his musculature, is Henry Cavill, who’s been seen shirtlessly here and here and here.
Nicholas Hoult appeared in even less clothing in this gratuitously-naked post, and also made a cheeky appearance in this collection of nude dudes.
He may not be on ‘Bridgerton’ anymore, but the memory of Regé-Jean Page and his multiple nude scenes lives on, such as in this Dazzler of the Day post.
Tom Daley has been so popular here that he has his own category, a la Madonna and Tom Ford. In post after post after post, he’s gotten into a Speedo, almost out of a Speedo, and all sorts of glory in-between.
The perpetual beach shots of a shirtless Shawn Mendes should never stop coming. Mendes has an extensive shirtless history here, especially in underwear posts like this and this and this.
Simu Liu was a Dazzler of the Day here, thanks to his entrance to the Marvel Universe. He manages to look even better in the pool universe.
Going the extra mile and bringing up the rear of this post is Charlie Puth, who’s been thirst-trapping hapless admirers of the male form on social media for years. This fully-naked Charlie Puth shot is a fitting end to this Sunday stretch of shirtlessness.
For someone who has been featured here so many times that he almost has his own category (something reserved for the likes of Tom Ford, Madonna, and Ben Cohen), Zac Efron has egregiously never been named Dazzler of the Day until now, and mostly for the recent shirtless Instagram photo you see here. Perhaps we just needed a reminder of his body of work, so his feature as Dazzler is up now, and you are welcome to peruse all the other times he has been featured here, such as this shirtless post, or this scantily-clad post, or this basically naked post, or this full-nude post. Take your choice.
Rugby great Ben Cohen has been featured on this site so many times that he has his own category (the kind of glory usually reserved for such luminaries as Madonna and Tom Ford). Today, Cohen earns his second Dazzler of the Day due to his continued work at the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation to fight back against bullying. Thanks to these gorgeous photos by Leo Holden of Snooty Fox Images, Cohen continues to show how he is indeed the complete package of dazzling goodness in a world that needs more of it.
Keenly aware of the power of the thirst trap, Charlie Puth has been baiting his fans for the better part of the year, with sly peeks at his underwear-clad life, and while there will always be those who criticize everything that everyone does, I’m not made about any of it. He’s the Dazzler of the Day thanks to his undying and contagious passion for music, and his cheeky way around social media. His newest album ‘CHARLIE’ is due this October (which is closer than we want to realize). Visit his official website here for further details.
When a simple squat-shot in a cave sets the internet on fire, the creator of such a firestorm is definitely worthy of Dazzler of the Day status, and so it is that we honor Lee Pace with such a distinction today. Lee first came to my attention with his work on the whimsical and criminally-underrated ‘Pushing Daisies’ with Kristin Chenoweth. Since then, he’s popped on my radar in such wonders as Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’ where his all-to-brief appearance still manages to make an impression, and an almost unrecognizable turn as a villain in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. The veil of tantalizing mystery shrouding the upcoming ‘Bodies Bodies Bodies’ only leaves us wanting more.
There has been a dearth of shirtless beauty here of late, as the other joys of summer have taken over – the flowers and gardens and birds and bees – so let’s return to some good old-fashioned gratuitous shirtless male celebrities with this Dazzler of the Day. Ladies and gentlemen and those who have yet to make up their minds, I give you Beau Mirchoff. Appearing in ‘Now Apocalypse’, ‘Good Trouble’ and ‘Awkward’, Mirchoff certainly gives good face, and he’s been building a movie and television career to earn all the accolades that such beauty often promises but doesn’t always deliver.
Actor, singer, model and more, this is Chris Salvatore, the epitome of a Renaissance man, and worthy recipient of the Dazzler of the Day crown for a body of work that spans well over a decade. He’s been in movies and videos, released music and an underwear line, and performed in stage shows, all while seeming genuinely kind. It’s doesn’t seem easy to maintain such a stance in show business, but somehow he’s managed. His latest venture into the Only Fans realm is only the latest in a long line of show-stopping moves. Keep watching and he’ll keep entertaining.
Not-quite-fresh from Ellen’s garden, where he portrayed Nick the Gardener a few years ago, Billy Reilich has entered the OnlyFans world, where he’s been greeted with the expected reception someone well-built and handsome demands. That’s more than enough to crown him Dazzler of the Day, and second acts are always welcome here.
Having already garnered the online attention of Mariah Carey herself, Miles Davis Moody cements his status as Dazzler of the Day thanks solely to his smoldering stare. A member of the adored and idolized Pit Crew of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Moody has made a splash on television and all his social media outlets.
Sunday is a day of rest, so rest your eyes on this shirtless Zac Efron shot direct from the beach. Zac Efron always makes a fine shirtless splash, and sometimes deigns to show off his skinny-dipping outfit, or entire birthday suit. Happy Sunday Funday!
While he has yet to be named a Dazzler of the Day (I feel it, it’s coming) Shawn Mendes hardly needs the seal of approval from this silly website when he has so clearly conquered the rest of the world. The singer-songwriter and underwear model can do no paparazzi wrong as he wrestles with the weight of the world on his bare shoulders. See this underwear post and this gratuitous shirtless GIF post here.
