Category Archives: Shirtless Male Celebrities

No matter how gratuitous some photos may be, as long as they’re done in black and white it’s suddenly art versus straight-up/gay-up porn, and that sort of line is what we like to straddle here at ALANILAGAN.com ~ hence this artsy-fartsy post of semi-naked male celebrities and models who have graced these pages prior in various stages of undress. Shirtless guys are this site’s bread and butter, and we do our best to be artistic about it. We don’t always succeed, but you know like to watch the attempts. And most especially the failures.

There’s nothing that rings remotely of failure when it comes to the featured guy, Steve Grand, who has been creating music and dreamy visuals for a few years now. See him and his latest endeavor in underwear here.

Andrew Rannells was phenomenal in ‘The Boys in the Band’, as well as a number of other Broadway shows and television series. His Hunk of the Day feature can be found here.

A staple of these shirtless retrospectives, Pietro Boselli has probably put in more appearances than everyone in this post, as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here and here and, well, you get the idea.

Dan Osborne forms the center piece of this trio, but he’s also done nice duo work with Tom Daley.

A pair of ‘CK’s in the shirtless forms of Colin Kaepernick and Callum Kerr continue our sexy shades of grey post.

Roberto Bolle gets a GIF because dancers are always better in motion.

Chris Salvatore strikes a moody shirtless pose, as he is wont to do here. He also poses in his underwear in posts like this and this.

A newcomer to the Hunk of the Day realm is Jake Picking, while Henry Cavill is classic old-school hunkdom personified.

Finishing on a sweet note is this pose featuring male model Zander Hodgson. See his naked ass here. And a lovely pose with his boyfriend here. 

When the brain is fried and the times are crazed, best to regroup with a random selection of shirtless male celebrities who have appeared in varying degrees of undress on this site previously. May this help to focus any scattered minds, and remind everyone of what website does when it’s at its best: superficial shirtless randomness. (We’ll do a naked male celebrity post in the near future, for now it’s Shirts vs. Skins in the World Series of Salaciousness.)

Let’s begin with the newly-retired Chris Mears. Retiring at such a young age makes him a hero in my eyes, and expands the general notion that retirement is something that happens once and then we head out to pasture. There’s also something very powerful about stepping away from a career while at your prime. That’s how I want to go. (I suppose I have to approach my prime first…) As for Mr. Mears, check out his other posts here, here, here, here, and here. They are all equally impressive.

Feast your eyes on this fiery GIF of Lenny Kravitz, who earned his Hunk of the Day honor in this post. He also appeared here in fine form.

Hailing from the land of hirsute, Hutch Dano made a hairy splash in his Hunk of the Day crowning, and deserves another look here.

Speaking of hairy chests, visit Scott Caan’s previous appearance here. For the tightey-whitey fans, check out Joshua Jackson’s brief-clad homage to the DILF concept. (Future Hunk of the Day post in store for him…)

A shirtless Jay Ryan in motion may be even better than a shirtless Jay Ryan in stillness.

Nick Adams is one of the elite triple-time Hunks of the Day, thanks to shows like this. 

Will Wikle gives good face in this scorching shower shot, much like he did in this post.

Franco Noriega recently provided a mid-afternoon delight in this gratuitous post. 

It’s always good to end on a happy note, so here’s Max Emerson’s ass. See also here and here and here. 

Jason Derulo has appeared here most recently (and perhaps most notably) in this underwear bulge post. Clearly, he needs to appear again. 

All right.

It’s time.

Finally, it’s time.

You’ve asked for it.

You’ve waited for it.

And with most of us going stir-crazy inside, you deserve it.

So without (much) further ado, here’s that full-frontal nude shot…

But first coffee.

It’s always better to be known as a strong cup of coffee than a weak cup of tea.

Have an opinion and put it on flagrant display!

Fly your freak flag high and proud!

Prime the pump with a few teaser links!

Check out this almost-full-frontal post of David Beckham.

Check out this almost-full-backside post of Ben Cohen.

Check out this almost-full-everything of Greg Rutherford.

And check out the full-frontal shot of yours truly at this link. (Just don’t tell anyone else.)

You’re welcome!

Sometimes the only thing that gets people to sit up and take notice is a shirtless guy. So here are a bunch, but before you scroll down please read this explanation about the simplest way we can protect ourselves in these scary times. Yes, it’s about handwashing, but the source knows her shit. It’s also a much-needed reminder that what is simple is often the most powerful. When we were kids, we all washed our hands. Why did we move away from that? The minimum-of-twenty-seconds method may be new for some people, but it’s a good practice to make part of our lives now. Anyway, you didn’t come here for getting clean, you came to get dirty, so here are your shirtless male celebrities, and a few links for inspiration. Also check out the original PSA that advised you to wash your hands like you would wash these shirtless guys.

Let’s begin with a recent Hunk of the Day, Anthony Bowens. He earns pride-of-place as the featured pic placement because, well, look at the guy. (And he bats for my team now.)

From an Anthony to an Antoni, above is Antoni Porowski who has helped to helm many a hunky collection over the years. Below we have Daniel Newman and Adam Peaty. 

Telly Leung is representing the musical theater contingent. Here’s hoping that the lights of Broadway come up again soon. 

Swinging his arms to music we cannot hear is Shawn Mendes, who also likes to swing in his underwear in posts like this and this.

Liam Payne gives good face in his Hugo Boss underwear campaign. And good body too. 

Aaron Renfree brings the heat from across the pond to these shores, as he did here and here. 

Tom Goss brings some California heat to the proceedings, prior to going platinum blonde. 

Shayne Ward is another English import, and an inspiration to those of stuck inside to keep up with the workouts. (I’m only half following through.)

Finally, Pietro Boselli once again brings up the banging rear of a naked male celebrity post because he does it best. And he also did it here, here, here, here and here.

Now go wash your hands, ya filthy animal. 

Lest anyone think this site is going wholesome or holistic, I offer this gratuitous glimpse of guy candy for those missing the days of shirtless wonder and naked male celebrity glory. Such cheekiness is to be found running rampant in the archives.  Here’s a brief reminder of other gents who have graced these pages with their bare naked skin.

It begins with Maluma, who just graced the Calvin Klein underwear campaign, and more importantly graced the latest Madonna album. And this beautiful duet with Ricky Martin. 

Also part of that Calvin campaign was Lil Nas X, who was previously featured as Hunk of the Day. 

A more recent feature here was the GQ photo shoot of Daniel Craig, who’s about to appear in what is being billed as his final turn as James Bond. 

Not to be outdone by Klein, Liam Payne posed in his skivvies for Hugo Boss, while Colin Kaepernick is a hero without having to pose in his underwear at all. (Though no one’s complaining that he posed without any.)

Amir Khan was a knock-out in his Hunk of the Day post.

Back to his Calvins, Justin Bieber was also part of his latest fashion campaign. But “Justin Bieber naked” may be a more interesting angle. 

And last but certainly not least is the beach body of Liam Hemsworth who gives his brother Thor a run for his bodacious money. 

PSA: how to wash your hands – vigorously, with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. It’s not that difficult, though most people aren’t accustomed to the full 20 seconds. The memes have been popping up all over given the coronavirus hysteria of late, so here’s a more pleasant way of guiding your hand-washing techniques. 

Wash your hands like you were washing Nick Jonas.

Wash your hands like you were washing Ronnie Woo.

Wash your hands like you were washing Chris Hemsworth.

Wash your hands like you were washing Zac Efron.

Wash your hands like you were washing Idris Elba.

Wash your hands like you were washing Jason Momoa.    

Wash your hands like you were washing Henry Cavill.

Wash your hands like you were washing Chris Evans.

Wash your hands like you were washing Tyson Beckford.

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.}
