Daniel Craig at 52 puts my body to shame when it was 42. 

Come to think of it, Daniel Craig at any age puts my body to shame at any age so it doesn’t much matter.

Seeing his physique at 52, however, does inspire me, and forces the realization that getting older isn’t a bad thing, it just means we have the opportunity to work harder at things like staying in shape. Mr. Craig has been working at that for years, ever since he first rose out of the ocean like Venus on the Half-shell, in that powder blue square-cut that achieved instantly iconic status. See that glorious sight in his original Hunk of the Day feature here. And a shirtless guest appearance in Andy Cohen’s HOD. Then enjoy the rest of these photos for GQ Magazine. 

Actor Daniel Newman has been making a thirst-trap splash on his Instagram account of late, so it seems an opportune moment to remind everyone of the first time he was Hunk of the Day here. He also recently honored his 6^thanniversary of sober living, an inspiration for anyone struggling with addiction or just wanting to better themselves. We need to celebrate more of this in the world. The goodness, the betterment, the encouragement. There is darkness enough – let us have a bit of light. (And here’s his second crowning as HOD, because one simply wasn’t enough. Depending on what’s coming on Instagram, two might not be enough either.)

To recap several hunks we’ve featured here of late, this post is a gratuitous exercise in shirtless male celebrities, and let’s be honest, we could all use a little more exercise. First up is Todd Sanfield, whose modeling career is as lucrative as his line of underwear, and both offer ample evidence of the heat that January so desperately needs. Mr. Sanfield has been here before in sultry posts like this and this and this, not to mention this Hunk of the Day crowning. 

Our second featured guy is adult entertainment superstar Wesley Woods, who gets a double dose of photo representation for reasons that should be instantly obvious. 

Sometimes just a peek of chest (and chest hair) is more exciting than a full-on full-frontal reveal, and nobody illuminates that more strikingly than Tom Ford. (Although he’s had his own naked moment too.)

Striking a similar stance, with just a hint more skin showing, is Zac Efron, whom some will prefer to see naked or nude or shirtless or at the very least in a Speedo. 

Luke Evans smuggled his budgie into hearts and fantasies the world over with this bulging Speedo post. 

 Ashley Parker-Angel proved that certain angelic poses are best turned naked. 

Brad Goreski knows how to style others, but is equally at home baring a hairy midriff when styling himself is called for. 

Last but not least, a pair of Cody Christian pics is needed to close out this mini-post, because Mr. Christian and his shirtlessness have proven popular in the past. 

Continuing on their rather happy journey of body- and self-acceptance, Sam Smith posted these beautiful images of a recent vacation (lucky sun-drenched paradise-visitor) with the following sage advice: “Feels so good to have my top off on holiday. Spent all my life hiding my body from the sun. The last year my skin has been soaking in that LIGHT. Don’t let anyone or anything stop you from feeling that kiss from above you beautiful humans.”

What a lovely message they have for all of us, and how wonderful to see someone in full enjoyment of everything they are. How few of us live that way. I certainly don’t. I put up a good front, but behind this façade there are some big-ass cracks in the foundation. As Smith guides the way, I’m doing my best to make them better, and if not improve then accept them and be grateful for the fissures that made me who I am today.

{See also Sam Smith’s turn as Hunk of the Day, an honor they’re likely to repeat with the next flourish of vacation photos.}

Keeping the ho-ho-ho-holidays hot without veering into scandalously salacious territory is a precarious balancing act, one which we occasionally overstep or misjudge here. (Type in ‘Gratuitous nudity’ into the search engine and stand back, Buenos Aires.) The key to a holiday hunk is the blend between the sacred and profane, a knowing glance and hint of skin, a playful gaze and mischievous pose, and maybe just the slightest peek at something naughty. We straddle the line. We skirt the edge. And we hope that Santa puts us on the good list. Here’s a look at some hunks to make your holiday jingle.

It begins with the featured photo of Frankie Catania, yet another gift from the Real Housewives of New Jersey, and one that keeps giving. Thank you, Andy Cohen!

Next up is a Santa-hatted Sean William Donovan, whose holiday sweater brings all sorts of heat and stirrings.

Having just made a super-splash in his briefs and jockstraps and boxer briefs – all products of his new underwear line Grand Axis – Steve Grand is back in the hunk game, and quite clearly winning. 

A relatively-recent Hunk of the Day is Dwyane Wade, who’s as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. 

Shades of grey abound in this photo of Liam Payne, whose underwear antics earned him accolades, but whose bisexual fetishization raised eyebrows and ire. That issue goes too deep for these pages; sort it out amongst yourselves.

Closing out this holiday hunk post is Justin Hartley, in his Santa-inspired turn in the holiday comedy ‘Bad Moms’. Check out the unit on that guy. 

When you cross shirtless male celebrities with Christmas, you get a lot of hunky Santa figures taking their shirts off. That’s right up the alley of the blog, where former holiday hunks included the likes of Darren Criss, Austin Drage,  Dan Osborne, Stuart Pilkington and Justin Hartley. Today we give you a whole new set of Santa babies to ogle, beginning with the fascinating Nico Tortorella, who has made finer-than-fine appearances here, here and here. 

From ChristmasTown to PhilCity, the fit form of Phil Fusco looks even more striking in red briefs against a snowy blue sky, but also intrigues when practically naked as seen here, here and here. 

Pietro Boselli has already stripped down to Santa’s skivvies here, but is worth a look in even less here and here. 

Ryan Phillippe does winter hunk double-duty in this pair of pics spanning several years. After and before, he’s been naked here already. 

Triple-hunky threat Nick Adams knows how to put on a proper holiday show, guns and bulges blazing. Check him out even more of him here, here, or here. 

Lastly, a bit of naughty and nice in one XXXmas gift package. Here is Trystan Bull, who was also on display here.

This bonus post, culled from the annals of an unexpected but most definitely not unwanted snow day, is a quick recap of some shirtless male celebrities who have graced this website with their hotness over the years. It’s not quite a full-on Naked Male Celebrities post, but click on that link and search the archives if you want fully nude stars. This is PG-13, but no less scintillating for it. We begin with KJ Apa, who knows how to man-spread, which is a skill that should have no shame when not practiced on public transportation. (Pull this shit on the subway and your crotch is nothing but target practice.)

Matthew Camp has been a favorite in these parts for years, and it’s always good to be reminded of the many endeavors he’s successfully embarked upon. See here and here too. 

Robbie Amell in motion is almost as good as Robbie Amell naked, but until we get a glimpse of that please make do with his Hunk of the Day post. 

Jwan Yosef, husband of Ricky Martin and fantastic artist in his own right, was breathtaking in his Hunk of the Day crowning here. 

Closing out the black and white portion of this hunky pictorial is Ben Cohen, who wears short-shorts better than anyone else. 

Like Dorothy stepping out of that sepia farm house and into the land of Oz, we switch into the full-color section of this shirtless male celebrity extravaganza. (Maybe there are some hints of male nudity on the way too.) Up in super-saturated form is the magnificent Jack Mackenroth, who clearly knows his way around a colorful ride. 

King of the underwear scene, nobody fills a pair quite as keenly as Daniel Miller, as amply evidenced in his Hunk of the Day honor. 

Colin Kaepernick is such a courageous guy, he deserves double billing here. Also click on his Hunk of the Day post, as well as this post and this post. 

Finn Bálor strikes a shirtless pose here, as well as in his Hunk of the Day feature, and in this peacock-like stance.

A trio of Nico Tortorella shots may still not be enough, and if that’s the case visit his naked self here, his shirtless self here, his nude self here, and his hot ass self here.

A pair of former Hunks may be found in the shirtless forms of Alan Bersten and Shawn Mendes. 

Ryan Gosling has been relatively quiet on the movie front of late, so perhaps it’s time to revisit his shirtless birthday post. 

Cameron Dallas smacks his ass in this pair of gratuitous GIFs. More of Mr. Dallas was also on display here, here and here. 

Speaking of fit asses, this is Jack Laugher barely squeezing his into a skimpy Speedo. More of Laugher and his butt here, here, here, and here. [See also Chris Mears & Tom Daley.]

Joe Manganiello was born to play a stripper, as illustrated in posts like this and this. 

The insanely bodacious body of Evander Kane brings up the end of this meandering post. 

Finally, a random assortment of gents who have yet to be featured in some grand shirtless male celebrity collection, but if you send me their names I’ll happily consider them for the future. 

Here’s THAT photo of Jason Derulo’s bulge, which is what Instagram is all about. (Follow my ass here.) Mr. Derulo has already been crowned Hunk of the Day here, and his naked video resulted in some GIFs that earned him a second HOD crowning here. He also played a sultry part in this Ultimate Hunk Collection. (Some bonus shirtless shots here too.)
