Thank you very much to V Man magazine for capturing these shots of Channing Tatum, in service of his latest film no doubt, and if it’s the fun-looking one with Sandra Bullock in a sequin gown, and cameo by Brad Pitt, I’m all in. Channing has given good face here before, and there are links galore in that post so I won’t bore you with them here, here, or here.
Outdoor adventurer Dylan Efron earns his first Dazzler of the Day thanks to an incendiary Instagram account – a colorful, beautiful, and awe-inspiring collection of exciting photos from his various journeys. It’s not always easy to live in the perceived shadow of a famous sibling (see Zac Efron) but Dylan seems to have found his own path to follow, and his very own inspiration to conjure.
This isn’t going to list all the links in which Zac Efron appears shirtless or naked on this site (click here for a more comprehensive link-list for that gratuitous stuff). Instead, enjoy a couple of relatively-recent shots of Efron in the water and fantasize about sunnier weather and swimsuit-ready bodies…
I love any Alan who spells his name correctly, so this Dazzler of the Day was an easy choice, and he comes highly recommended by several FaceBook friends. This is Alan Ritchson, who started out as an Abercrombie & Fitch model before bursting onto the entertainment scene in series such as ‘Smallville’ and ‘Titans’. He’s currently making a bigger splash as the title character on the Amazon series ‘Reacher’ and in this Dazzler of the Day feature, where his numerous attributes are quite impressively on display.
Upstate New York native Chris Mazdzer is back at the Olympics for the fourth time, and though this time around has proven more difficult than previous visits, the mere fact of earning a spot at a fourth Olympic Games is honorable in itself. The American luger also has a lucrative future promoting any sort of manscaping or facial hair products, so he’ll be doing just fine no matter what happens in Beijing.
Taking over the shirtless baton in the Winter Olympics (with a respectful nod to Pita Taufatofua) this is Nathan Crumpton, who just walked into the Olympic Opening ceremony sans shirt, waving the flag for American Samoa. Crumpton is competing as a skeleton racer, but he also works as a model and photographer, for obvious reasons. Check out his amazing website here.
Tonight marks the opening of the Winter Olympics 2022 from Beijing, China, and it is only fitting the we begin with two Winter Olympians who also happen to be gay Americans: Adam Rippon and Gus Kenworthy. They have appeared here before in the altogether (Adam nude here and Gus naked there) – proof that winter fun need not be draped in excess clothing.
As for this year’s games, I’ve already featured the ice dancers (Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron, Madison Hubbell and Zachary Donohue, and Madison Chock and Evan Bates) along with the great Nathan Chen. More to come in the near future…
Confession: I haven’t gotten around to seeing the new Spiderman film yet. Somehow, I’ve managed to avoid all spoilers, because I’ve generally been laying low on social media sites. I did, however, manage to catch Tom Holland on that hot chicken wing show, and he was such a good sport he earned this Dazzler of the Day honor simply for that. Holland was previously a shirtless Hunk of the Day here, so not much more needs to be said.
Inspired by Miranda Hart’s turn as Dazzler of the Day and the utterly charming performance he gives on her self-titled show, Tom Ellis earns his own Dazzler of the Day thanks to that charming chef, and a more devilish turn on ‘Lucifer’. He also re-ignites the ‘shirtless male celebrity’ side of this site, setting the stage for a sexy New Year.
Mexican actor and model Polo Morín earns his first Dazzler of the Day honor thanks to everything you see here. Sometimes, that’s more than enough.
We love a hot zaddy in these parts, so it’s well past time that Chris Meloni was honored with this Dazzler of the Day feature. Meloni has been a Hunk of the Day here in the past, offering a better glimpse of his assets, but since that feature was updated, it’s time he’s been officially named Dazzler. He’s been especially happy to engage with and encourage his growing contingent of gay fans, happy to acknowledge where some of his bread is buttered. The shots seen here are from a recent Men’s Health cover story, because Meloni is clearly the epitome of heathy and hotness. His Twitter feed is also evidence how how to be a celebrity and remain true to who you are as a person, while promoting equality and justice.
He paved the way for the male models on ‘The Price is Right’ and for that reason alone Robert Scott Wilson more than justifies his selection as Dazzler of the Day. Add his popular work on ‘Days of Our Lives‘ and you have a daytime double-header that just might bring me back to Salem after all these years. It’s been way too long since we’ve had a male model as Dazzler of the Day, so let’s make a concerted effort to return to such frivolous innocence.
It’s been a while since we had a gratuitously-shirtless male celebrity post, so let this fill that gap as September doesn’t always require a shirt. It begins with the featured pic of Shawn Mendes who will be performing on the MTV Music Awards in a few days. Having missed the show for about the past twenty years, I have no idea what it’s like anymore, but maybe this will be the year I tune back in. Mendes has appeared shirtlessly here and in his underwear here and here.
Nick Jonas has been a perennial favorite in these parts – and these parts – and these parts – and these parts. Well, you get the idea. And for more of a shirtless Nick Jonas, see this and this. Bonus post: the brothers Jonas and a shirtless supporting cast.
The eternal debate over who is luckier to be married to the other is intense when it comes to John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. Here is Krasinski in shirtless motion, and if you need a nude John Krasinski fix go here.
Anderson Cooper has been a Hunk of the Day already, so he’s about due for his Dazzler of the Day crowning. Meanwhile, the shirtless parade continues…
Cody Christian, in his native habitat based on his body, has been here before in posts like this and this.
Musician Tom Goss turns the other cheek, and also appeared in this cheeky post.
Donning his own crocheted Speedo, Tom Daley brought Olympic glory to Tokyo earlier this summer, and Speedo heat here and here and here and here and here.
Last and most certainly not least, Michael B. Jordan closes things out with a Zen pose of shirtless magnificence.
He’s not everyone’s cup of tea (and I actually just caught someone on social media saying they wish the world would stop trying to force the idea that he’s attractive onto all of us) but Adam Driver also elicits a heated and fervent fan base response of love and adoration. Personally, I’m just a fan of his talent, and his taste in fragrance, as these shots are reportedly from a new Burberry campaign. That’s enough to justify this Dazzler of the Day. (And be sure to revisit his Hunk of the Day post here, or this artfully black and white post, or this gratuitously shirtless post there.)
Having already been christened a Hunk of the Day, Simu Liu advances to Dazzler of the Day in eager anticipation of his taking the lead in the next Marvel installment, ‘Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’. Born in China and raised in Canada from the age of five, Liu has also appeared in ‘Nikita’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
