Back in the days when used to have a Hunk of the Day feature, Stephen Nedoroscik would have been an instant honoree. He’ll have to settle for the Dazzler of the Day now, and a subsequent shirtless post as seen here. And so the Olympics pommel onward…
Having reached the halfway mark of the Paris Olympics, this seems a good time to pause for a shirtless break, along with several non-Olympians who are gracing us with their bodies as well. This has been an exhausting week, so bear with the frivolous and gratuitous nature of this post, which offers just a bunch of links to keep things moving with something pleasing to the eye.
First up is the Bulge Seen Around the World, as Jules Bouyer puts his frontal assets on celebrated display.
Next up is artist Rene Farias, whose work celebrates a gloriously surreal life of beauty and wonder, and who recently was named our Dazzler of the Day.
Going back to Olympic glory, Carlos Alcaraz once modeled for Calvin Klein, and is competing today in the Olympic tennis competition.
A musical Olympian in his own stratosphere, Lenny Kravitz is always worthy of another look, especially when soaking in a tub naked.
Paul Mescal takes a shirtless break from an upcoming movie, where the wardrobe department seems to know his strong points.
Chris Salvatore has been making a name for himself with consistent contributions of beauty and bulge to his social media outlets. Here is yet another worthy of framing.
Lastly, Joe Jonas, who’s band of brothers provided the soundtrack to the last Olympic Games, brings up the rear entry here.
Anchoring the US Men’s Olympic Swim 4×100 Relay team, Caeleb Dressel earned his Dazzler of the Day crowning shortly before the last Olympic Games. This time he gets a solo spotlight for helping the US attempt its first gold medal of the Paris Olympics.
The news these days… am I right? Forget that nonsense and indulge in this little collection of shirtless male celebrities for your Sunday morning perusal, and clock on the accompanying links to see more of each. We begin with Theo James, who provided a few rousing out-takes from an upcoming Dolce & Gabbana commercial featuring their iconic white Speedo (and originally filled out by David Gandy).
Next up is Bad Bunny, who needs only a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses to make an impressive impression. (See his crowning as Dazzler of the Day for further proof.)
A pair of Shawn Mendes poses in his Calvins because two is better than one in such matters. There are far too many posts of Mr. Mendes on this blog to link up here – but for a basic beginner’s kit, try this one or this one.
Michael B. Jordan rises from the pool, a proper heat-drenched summer moment if ever there was one. Mr. Jordan has been here before, opening this other shirtless male celebrity post, as well as closing out this one.
Lastly, Manu Rios keeps the heat going with a simple shirtless pose to close these Sunday morning proceedings. See some of his amazing fashion sense on display in his Dazzler of the Day crowning.
While not quite as naked as he was in this Dazzler of the Day post, Theo James is certainly providing just as much bang for the visual buck in these shots from a Dolce & Gabbana ad. Whatever they’re selling, I’m buying.
The classic white speedo against the blue of sky and ocean is a combination that never grows old. (See also David Beckham.)
Madonna seems to have been more enamored of Diplo than many of her fans were enamored of her collaborations with him, but that hasn’t dimmed his star or diminished his current standing as Dazzler of the Day. Thanks to his cheeky click-baiting nudity or endless musical joint-ventures, Diplo has been a force in the music industry for over a decade now. His latest collab ‘Midnight Ride’ with Orville Peck (himself no stranger to nakedness) and Kylie Minogue is on heavy rotation in these parts, sending summer into scintillating orbit.
Summer is the sanctioned time for doffing your shirt (well, only if you’re male, since we are still way behind Europe when it comes to freeing the female nipple) – but if you have any shirtless ladies you’d like to feature as a Dazzler of the Day, just send them and their nipples my way and I’ll be happy to forge that necessary trail. For now, though, it remains the humdrum men, beginning with the anything but humdrum John Arthur Hill, setting screens aflame with his Insta feed and upcoming live performances. See him set these parts on fire with his Dazzler of the Day crowning here.
Max Emerson never met a Speedo he didn’t fill with his bodaciousness – see him equally unadorned here and here and here.
Matt Bomer seems to like the beach almost as much as we enjoy Matt Bomer being on the beach. See also this naked spread here and a couple GIFs here.
John Duff has the catchiest tune going this summer (‘Be Your Girl’) and you can hear it at his Dazzler of the Day post here. He’s also rocking a version of the patriotic Speedo that Zac Efron immortalized here.
Diplo has been cheekily enticing his fans with many a seaside frolic, and often in much less than you see here.
Finally, Gus Kenworthy knows precisely what he’s doing here, and we are gladly wise to his barely-there disguise. See also Gus Kenworthy naked, and Gus Kenworthy nude, and Gus Kenworthy in briefs here.
Sometimes – most times in fact – it’s sexier leaving something on, and leaving a little, or a lot, to the imagination. The gentleman in this post (starting with featured swimsuit beach model Shawn Mendes) are testament to that, as they give off their own impressive heat without baring it all. We have never done full-frontal male nudity here (or full-frontal female nudity either for that matter) but we like to come close. {Do a quick “Alan + Ilagan + full + frontal + nudity” Google search and stand back Buenos Aires… we’ll wait.} With that salacious digression out of the way and into your search history, here are a few folks who didn’t have to take their clothes off to inspire a good time, and a song that you will hate me for putting in your ear. Grab some cherry wine and go!
Jim Verraros has mastered the art of the scintillating tease, his seductive promos for latest singles ‘Take My Bow‘ and ‘Pyramid‘ have been nothing short of scorching.
While he may be more accustomed to being on the other side of the lens, photographer Leo Holden of Snooty Fox Images makes just as fine a model as any he has focused his camera’s gaze upon.
Our most recent Dazzler of the Day Ryan Murphy prefers the longer Speedo seen here for his Olympic attire, and it seems to be working for him.
Luke Evans loves a wet tease, as he has proven in his own Speedo pics through the years, and we are happily powerless to make an argument against it.
Finally, Orville Peck got a lot more naked in this post, but the tantalizing arm-pit reveal for those who revel in such things should make plenty people sit up and take notice. And here’s that ear-worm for those still seeking out worms and trouser-snakes…
An Olympic superstar, Michael Phelps helps continue the fanfare for this summer’s Olympic Games in Paris, France. Phelps is no stranger to the five rings, holding the record of the most decorated Olympian in history (28 medals). More recently he’s been speaking out on mental health, something that may prove just as compelling and important for those in need of support. He earns his first Dazzler of the Day for his legacy and his efforts to keep making a difference. (And his previous penchant for going naked doesn’t hurt.)
A lazy post filled by five shirtless men, with links to further evidence of their shirtlessness to fill the void as I evacuate mine. It begins with featured gent Luke Evans, who is brilliantly marketing his first fashion endeavor BDXY in his underwear, and I’m practically sold.
For the second shot, you get a bonus of buns courtesy of Diplo, who never met a vacation scene he didn’t improve by dropping trou.
A classic Maluma tease, in the grand tradition of nudity-teasing as seen here and here and here.
Charlie Puth has proven he knows his way around a song, or a shirtless jog. He also likes to swing naked in his backyard, and perform other acts of skin-baiting-and-baring.
Gloriously last and in no way least is the Calvin Klein ambassador Jeremy Allen-White, whose previous spreads have titillated and teased.
This naked Orville Peck montage for Paper magazine, shot and directed by Brett Loudermilk, gets an echo post following the original post of nude Orville Peck pics here. Loudermilk coaxed a scorching series of images from Peck – it’s amazing the majesty that a few well-twisted balloons can conjure, particularly when a naked Peck sits astride them or cradles them in his hand. Summer is about to pop off…
Peck will be providing this year’s summer theme song (to be revealed as always on the first day of summer) which was hinted at in this Coquette Summer Music post. (His will be the secret song listed on that playlist.) Anyway, here are a couple more shots by Loudermilk, well-worth another look-see.
Anyone who knows how to dance has a leg-up on being crowned a Dazzler of the Day, and so it is that Gleb Savchenko earns his first dazzling honor. A beloved star in his own right from ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and currently on a run in a Chippendales show (now in Las Vegas and moving to Atlantic City this summer), Savchenko dazzles through his fancy footwork and appealing charm.
Any post anchored by a Speedo shot of Luke Evans is guaranteed to be a good post. And so we close out this rainy Sunday afternoon, featuring Evans in some of his new clothing line BDXY, as seen in similarly-skimpy form here. For those who would argue whether a bulging or naked Luke Evans is better, here he is in nude style.
Theo James made his own full-frontal splash on ‘The White Lotus‘ and was nude in this post as well.
John Arthur Hill earned his first crowning as Dazzler of the Day here, an honor that seems likely to repeat given his Instagram penchant for scintillating posts.
David Beckham has already earned classic iconic hunk status on this site – just check out his very own category link here. Here he is again, courtesy of his wife Victoria’s keen eyes and generous social media sharing.
Banging out the backend of this post is the positively bodacious posterior of fan-favorite Matthew Camp. See more of Matthew here, here, and here. Oh, and definitely visit here, where he was given Dazzler of the Day status.
Further thanks and gratitude to Victoria Beckham (still and always my favorite Spice Girl) whose social media posts occasionally and tantalizingly feature her husband David Beckham, who has been woefully absent from these posts of late. Let’s change that up and revisit the history of the man seen in the links below:
David Beckham in boxer briefs.
David Beckham basically busting out of his pants.
David Beckham in a basic gratuitous post.
David Beckham in his own scent.
David Beckham in his new underwear.
David Beckham in brief, and briefs.
David Beckham in budgie smugglers.
David Beckham, almost definitively.
David Beckham out of his shirt.
David Beckham giving glimpses of skin.
David Beckham as the Sexiest Man Alive.
David Beckham getting back to basics.
He’s got a body made for far more than a podcast, but thankfully there’s instagram to round out the views of John Arthur Hill, our Dazzler of the Day. Hill has made the rounds of several musicals over the years, recorded more than a few songs, and currently has his own SiriusXM show ‘The News with John Hill’. He also co-hosts ‘Andy Cohen Live‘ and has been seen behind the bar (and behind the scenes in a more professional capacity) at ‘Watch What Happens Live’. Check out his link tree here for all that’s on his horizon, including some legendary live performances coming up.
