While we’re on a tennis kick, here is Novak Djokovic, caught on a balcony in a pair of boxer briefs. Personally, I prefer him in something slightly skimpier, as seen here, but I don’t think anyone would throw Mr. Djokovic out of bed for wearing these. As for his package of jewels, I love a man who knows his way around balls. Tennis, people, I’m talking about tennis. Love – Love. Game on.
On this Father’s Day, let’s look back at some of those daddies who were featured in a very different capacity as Hunks of the Day here. Does Fatherhood add or detract from a guy’s appeal? I’m not going to give my politically incorrect answer (Fathers and sex have no business being together outside of the Catholic church) but here are a few to get you shouting ‘Oh Daddy!’
First up is Matt Bomer, who has shown us that you don’t have to be straight to be a good father – a lesson that Neil Patrick Harris also gave, fathering twins no less.
Relatively new to being a baby daddy, Channing Tatum was much better known for other things. Stripping, modeling, and going butt-to-butt with Joe Manganiello.
He’s not quite there yet (pop it out Mila!) but Ashton Kutcher is about to become a father, and it looks like he’s ready.
Thanks to Reese, Ryan Phillippe became a Daddy a while back, but he remains in fighting form as evidenced here.
A tree-trimming father who didn’t bother to put his pants on for the holiday festivities, this is Mario Lopez.
Giving off that sexy Mr. Clean vibe and displaying his prowess with a tool belt, Chip Wade is an HGTV father.
I don’t know what kind of physical gifts the offspring of Ed Burns and Christy Turlington were bestowed, but I’m guessing they’re major.
Shakira’s Baby Daddy Gerard Pique.
Jamie Foxx will often bring one of his kids to red carpet events, which is a very cool thing.
The bromance between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck did not result in any children – they got them by other means.
Sometimes Dads can be kind of slutty. Case in point Eddie Cibrian.
His own kids are becoming stars in their own right, but they wouldn’t be around at all if it wasn’t for Will Smith.
Last but not least, a pair of daddies who own the term DILF: Ben Cohen and David Beckham.
Some people never age, and some people never wear shirts. Luckily for us, these two traits often intersect in the same glorious body, as evidenced by these beach photos of Ryan Phillippe showing off what he still most definitely has. While it’s not as much as he showed off here (Warning: Gratuitous Male Nudity), it’s always a welcome eyeful.
There has been a resurgence in briefs in the drawers of men, and it’s time to celebrate with a gratuitous post like this in which we revisit some of the more notable brief encounters we’ve had over the years, starting with an expert in fuzzy balls, Novak Djokovic. He keeps it simple in basic black – a wise and classic choice, on or off the court.
Mario Lopez kept it real in this pair of skimpy Christmas briefs, as he trimmed the tree and presented his presents.
Zac Efron gives tighty whities a bad name in this set of questionable briefs. One would have thought he’d fill them out better than that. Then again, one would prefer Zac Efron completely naked.
Faring far sexier in his briefs is Nick Youngquest, who knows how to pack a punch, and a package.
Sometimes a simple pair of white briefs is all you need for runway glory, at least according to Noah Mills and this ridiculously sexy walk.
Josh Wald may be wearing the skimpiest pair of briefs ever made here (one that perhaps passes into string bikini territory.)
Busting out of his Calvin Klein briefs is Ngo Okafor, whose chest more than matches what comes below.
Two words: wet briefs. Two more words: Sandor Earl. One last word: semi.
I can’t decide if Christian Sancho looks better in or out of his briefs.
Jack Mackenroth makes all sorts of underwear look great in all sorts of ways.
As bodacious as these brief-barers are, they still don’t quite match the excitement of a jockstrap – but that’s another post for another time.
Here’s something to get your Hump Day going. While he’s been much more naked in his Hunk of the Day feature, Jamie Dornan offers a side peek of butt in one of these photos from a new Interview spread. I don’t know if these are part of a new promo push for ’50 Shades of Gray’ since I have not paid the least bit of attention to that, but if they are, I’d suggest less moodiness and far less clothing. (Really, who takes a bath in their underwear?) Sex sells. As does gratuitous male nudity.
When in doubt, smut it up. That’s the axiom of this site, and it will be for some time. In this instance, a spattering of former Hunks of the Day (and maybe one not-yet-christened guy) along with several photos of theirs that didn’t make the initial cut. The first cut may be the deepest, but these follow-ups are nothing short of fantastic.
First we have Dan Osborne, up top, who has been here many times. Count with me – one, two, three, four, five… Check the archives for the rest.
Chris Evans can always be counted on for some sexy shirtlessness, though he’s been rather stingy with it of late. Here’s hoping he returns to all his glory in the near future.
Edilson Nascimento has yet to be featured as a Hunk of the Day, but his time will come.
Austin Armacost usually likes to feature his butt, but this time it’s what’s up front that’s drawing all the focus, while Greg Rutherford amps it up for the gingers (even if you can’t tell in black-and-white.)
Another “A-Lister” – Rodiney Santiago – gives a peek of his derriere.
Finally, we have Russell Tovey, an across-the-pond hottie who has been here before.
Mr. Beckford has already been a Hunk of the Day here, but there’s always room for a few extra pics, especially on this patriotic holiday. A little hint of his nether region only serves to add to the festivities. How low can he go?
As is the case with Ben Cohen, putting a ‘definitive’ label on anything to do with David Beckham is as limiting as a Madonna Greatest Hits album: there’s always more to come. Mr. Beckham actually paved the gay-friendly way for Mr. Cohen, presenting himself as a straight ally more through his flaunting of a metrosexual style, pin-up caliber poses, and calendar and photo shoots that were aimed strategically at the groins of most gay men. He scored, we swooned; he disrobed, we gasped; he started an underwear line, we ate it up. Since the start of this website, David Beckham has been a constant source of eye candy and inspiration.
Here is an almost-comprehensive list of Mr. Beckham’s past posts. There are a lot, but I haven’t heard anyone complain about their prolific nature given the specimen on display.
It all began (at least post-website-revamp) with his Butt and his Bulge.
A decent way to start, things soon got interesting, if questionably exciting.
The evolution of Beckham’s package.
Forget Justin Trousersnake, Beckham’s got the real deal.
The basic boxer brief showed off Beckham’s best assets.
Oddly enough, he didn’t receive his first Hunk of the Day crowning until 2012.
Nobody does a promotional video better.
Always a top contender for a Greatest Hunks collection…
And a mainstay for the decade of this website.
The battle of the century: Ben Cohen vs. David Beckham. Who’s sexier?
The 2nd battle of the century: David Beckham vs. Mario Lopez.
The best David Beckham posts are those that are purely gratuitous.
Ever wonder what he smells like?
Forget the subway tile, it’s the underwear.
That age-old dilemma: bulge or butt?
The pre-cursor to this post, in brief.
David Beckham and a tease of nudity…
More nudity, and less.
Beckham and his budgie smugglers.
Ben Cohen has proved fine fodder for the sort of sexy posts that populate this wayward blog, and if I’ve pushed him more than, say, David Beckham (whose turn will come tomorrow) it’s because Mr. Cohen is also a staunch straight ally, standing up for gay men and women the world over, and standing behind his anti-bullying efforts with hard work and dedication. His hirsute bearish looks certainly don’t hurt his cause, and that’s a good part of why he’s featured here as well.
Here are a few links wherein we featured the looks, and half-dressed sexiness, of Ben Cohen:
This may have been Ben’s first appearance here – way back in 2010.
It is said that he has an enormous hose.
He seems to enjoy boxer briefs.
He likes to strip to his underwear for video too.
It’s the hair, isn’t it?
Actually, it’s probably his butt.
Is he sexier than David Beckham?
He just may be.
Especially if he goes full-frontal first.
But shirtless Ben is more than just fine.
Especially when getting ready to dance.
The best part of Ben, however, may be his Attitude.
And the fact that he’d give you the shirt off his back.
Nah – it’s the way he fills out these white briefs.
With these gargantuan balls.
David Beckham returns the sexy volley tomorrow…
Red-hot gingers have long been a favorite here, and Ricky Schroeder proves no exception. Though he’s already been named a Hunk of the Day, he’s bulked up and toned himself into an even more desirable specimen, as evidenced by his recent Broadway Solo Strips show. As part of this year’s Broadway Bares event, he’ll be doffing more clothing in the near future, and if you are interested in supporting him, check out his donation page here (all benefits go to Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights AIDS). I’m all for a good cause, particularly when it comes cloaked in such prettiness.
Mr. Schroeder can go from scorching drag queen to perfectly-pumped hunk in the flick of wig, as these photos will attest, and it’s a toss-up as to which version is hotter. He’s also on Twitter at @RickyASchroeder for those who want to Tweet his ass. (And you know you do.)
{All photographs graciously provided by Mr. Schroeder.}
And here’s a scintillating tease of his Broadway Strips performance – ooh la la!
This is a tide-you-over post until my review of ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch‘ gets posted in a quick tick-tock during this string of Broadway posts. For now, thank the blessed folks at Rolling Stone for this nifty and racy cover shot of Neil Patrick Harris naked but for a strategically placed (and questionably hung) top hat. Mr. Harris has already been christened a Hunk of the Day here, but he’s in a different sort of shape for his role as Hedwig. More on that later… for now, enjoy the near-nudity, and the official cover.
The city is gearing up for this year’s big Broadway Bares event, so it seems as good a time as any to do a gratuitous post of the nude males of the Broadway stage. The gentlemen featured here are, I believe, all going to be a part of the naked festivities, and a few have graced this website in the almost-altogether as well such as Joshua Michael Brickman, Brandon Rubendall, Todd Hanebrink, Ricky Schroeder, and Nick Kenkel.
Other Broadway notables who took their shirts off here include Christopher Johnstone, Nick Adams, Adam Jacobs, and Mario Lopez (a Broadway baby for his ‘Chorus Line’ appearance.)
One day I’ll make it to the Broadway Bares event, but for now I’ll rely on Matthew Rettenmund’s encyclopedic recaps (and super-sexy pics and videos) at the bodacious Boy Culture blog.
Leave it to Prince Harry to provide the only tantalizingly shirtless glimpses of the Royal Family – but really, what other member would you rather see sans clothing? I think Prince William has passed his expiration date, even if he is destined for the throne. Kings are rarely sexy. Princes on the other hand can be very sexy. Especially when they’re totally starkers. (That means naked.)
Once again: everyone loves a ginger.
No, not really. And we know gratuitous male nudity here. Below is the supposed “nude selfie” that James Franco posted in the middle of the night, then quickly deleted. Boo on both. First of all, it’s not nudity. Second, why the sudden shyness for such a relatively innocent photograph? I love Mr. Franco’s collection of selfies, shirtless and otherwise, as well as his philosophical take on the role selfies play in our culture, so I’m not sure why he so precipitously took the pic below off his Instagram account. Show some balls!
Of course, it’s not Franco’s fault that the media has gone and made something out of nothing. It’s quick-on-the-draw and desperate-for-headlines bloggers like myself who said it was a naked selfie, but I like to delve a deeper. So for now, this gets categorized under ‘Shirtless Male Celebrities‘ and ‘Underwear‘, but not quite ‘Gratuitous Nudity.’ He’ll have to work harder for that. (Like he did in this post, where he gives a glimpse of his bare ass.)
To christen this lusty month of May, let us take a look-see at some of the men who have already been featured on this site… in their underwear (and maybe out of it.) A guy in his skivvies can be a glorious thing to behold – but it all depends on the guy and his underwear. (Donald Trump in a pair of rumpled boxer shorts, for example, not so much. Same goes for Justin Bieber – eww to all the Beliebers.) The gentlemen below him, however, look better in precisely that mode.
Far more exciting than the Biebs is Chris Salvatore, which makes sense seeing as how he just released his first line of underwear, which includes the pretty-in-pink number he so perfectly fills out here.
Speaking of pink, check out the shirtless Aaron Schock, who, while not in his underwear here, might as well be. Sooner or later his naked Grindr texts are going to hit the internet, mark my words.
The amazing Russell Tovey is no stranger to selfies in his skivvies, and I have yet to hear a complaint.
While the following photo is not Tom Daley in his underwear, or even his Speedo, it’s welcome for its sunny and shirtless aspect – a much-needed blast of happiness and good weather from anywhere other than the Northeast right now.
And finally, bringing up the rear, literally and figuratively, is Harry Judd. Decidedly OUT of his underwear, as Mr. Judd often is. I’m still not hearing any complaints.
