One of the greatest football (soccer) players in history, Cristiano Ronaldo has turned all that talent into a lucrative career of products and endorsements ranging from underwear to cologne (two of my favorite things), all of which can be seen on his website here. More powerful is the legacy of his athletic accomplishments, which is reason alone for this Dazzler of the Day.
Ronaldo has been featured in numerous posts here previously, perhaps best encapsulated in this linkalicious post.
Giving honor and nobility to sex work of all kinds, Matthew Camp embraces a sex-positive attitude, exemplified by his recent cover story for Attitude Magazine. That spread alone is enough to merit this Dazzler of the Day, but Camp has been dazzling for well over a decade in everything from fragrance to life-size sex dolls. Throughout it all, he retains an artistic aesthetic that set him distinctly apart from the meaty gay pack. Check out his OnlyFans exclusive link here and then follow him on Instagram here. (While you’re at it, give me a follow too for different sorts of posies and poses.)
Maluma has appeared in these electronic pages a number of times before today – see this underwear post, and this post and this post, as well as this supporting-guest-star post. The triptych below is rumored to be Maluma naked but for that manicured hand, and is the main reason for this post. Consider yourself trapped.
He’s nowhere near the big event this year, but Tom Brady decided to garner all the attention (at least from certain websites such as this one) by posting a selfie of himself in his own underwear line. Well-played, sir, well-played. Rob Gronkowski, himself no stranger to underwear shots and other naked shenanigans, called Brady out and lamented he didn’t do it quite right by hiding the package. The Gronk would know, and that’s not something you usually hear. (No offense to Mr. Gronkowski.)
The last time I was really into the Super Bowl was in 2012, over a decade ago, when Madonna triumphantly headlined the half-time show and showed the world how it was done. Adam Levine made a shirtless play for our affections recently, and Beyoncé worked that stadium like gorgeous thunder, but I’m still partial to Madonna’s old-school theatrics.
As for this year, I have no idea who is even playing or what Dazzlers of the Day might strut their stuff on the field, and I’m not even all that excited to see Rihanna, but I’m happy to see others enjoy this day. Besides, it’s a chance to look back at all the ball-happy posts we’ve done in service of bowls super and otherwise over the years, as seen in the following links:
Troye Sivan has been featured as a Dazzler of the Day in this post from a couple of years ago, so today’s feature is just a little form of further appreciation for their talents. Unsure of whether they’re the new official face/body of Calvin Klein, perhaps this should be an official audition in the event that they’re not.
Continuing our celebration of body and sex sparked by yesterday’s Dazzler of the Day, Austin Wolf carries that glorious torch in epic fashion, brazenly baring all and shredding the prudish judgment of porn that certain prurient hypocrites too often condemn. (Spoiler alert: you all watch it.) Wolf is one of the most popular gay porn stars in the business, and he has indeed made his life his business, taking any critiques to the bank and reveling in his ongoing career. (See also Diego Barros for another Defense of Porn.) In this mad world, it isn’t always easy to make a living, and I admire anyone who knows how to hustle and put in the hard work. Wolf earns his first Dazzler of the Day for all of the above.
An entertainment career that goes beyond a decade is an impressive accomplishment on its own – factor in the not-alway-lucrative aspect of operating as an openly-gay man and you have yourself a feat of epic proportions. Chris Salvatore has managed that nifty hat trick, and continues to make uncannily shrewd moves, even when it’s not always clear how they might play out. Case in point was his reported axing from what was originally billed as the Next Big (Gay) Thing: ‘The Real Friends of West Hollywood’. Now that we are seeing how that series is playing out, it seems Salvatore dodged a bullet if he was indeed let go due to some participants’ squeamishness about his having an OnlyFans account. As someone once sang, “Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend…”
As regular readers here know, this site celebrates sex-positivity and nudity, and having an OnlyFans account is not a mark of shame but of basic financial intelligence, particularly if you know how to work it. To that end, Salvatore knows how to market himself, and showcase his talents, of which there are many. (See his first turn as Dazzler of the Day here.) Acting turns in several movies, as well as musical prowess that landed him a number of record releases, in addition to forays into modeling and underwear have all proved him an exceptional Renaissance man of many trades. A glimpse of his OnlyFans content blurs the line between life and art in a way that is titillating and sometimes unexpectedly moving. There is a certain courage inherent in those who make their life a work of art, and for that Salvatore earns this second Dazzler of the Day crowning. He’s currently appearing on the ‘Gaymous Podcast’ which can be found here.
Matthew Rettenmund and his brilliant ‘BoyCulture’ blog have kept most of us abreast of the latest in shirtless celebrity shenanigans, as was the case in this report on Andrew Garfield going shirtless for GQ Magazine. Just sharing the wealth here, as I once promised that Garfield would be Hunk of the Day – in this tease that showed off Andrew Garfield’s naked ass no less – and which will have to become a Dazzler of the Day should more pics be released. Stay tuned…
It’s been a not-so-hot minute since we gratuitously featured a shirtless celebrity such as Zac Efron, and nobody does shirtless quite as well as Zac Efron does shirtless. Not sure which role this physique is for, or whether it requires any nude scenes, but I’m confident Efron has precisely what is needed.
The most wonderful time of the year is officially in motion as Ben Cohen announced his 2023 calendar (which at least one friend of mine awaits more eagerly than Christmas). As shot by the brilliant Leo Holden of Snooty Fox Images, Cohen’s calendar is always a visual treat, and will sell out, so visit this link if you’re interested in purchasing this decorative inspiration. Cohen was originally crowned Dazzler of the Day here (and not just once, as seen in this sexy encore).
In addition to his handsome looks, Cohen is an LGBTQ+ ally and an anti-bullying crusader, which makes him all the more beautiful. When noble intent meets a compassionate heart, great things end up happening. Check out his StandUp Foundation website here for more.
Lead singer for Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds is the thinking person’s Adam Levine, only better. Way better. Not that it’s good to compare (comparison is the thief of joy) but Reynolds and his work with Imaginary Dragons have been a dominant force in music for the past decade. Even better is his effort in bringing the LOVELOUD music festival to fruition, which was created to help raise funds for the fight against teen suicide and in support of LGBTQ youth. A man who makes good music, and a man with a good heart, is a worthy pick as Dazzler of the Day.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve had a proper gratuitous shirtless post in these parts, and before summer leaves, let’s celebrate the shirtless male form with these celebrities doffing their clothes. First up, with two pictures that still can’t quite contain his musculature, is Henry Cavill, who’s been seen shirtlessly here and here and here.
Nicholas Hoult appeared in even less clothing in this gratuitously-naked post, and also made a cheeky appearance in this collection of nude dudes.
He may not be on ‘Bridgerton’ anymore, but the memory of Regé-Jean Page and his multiple nude scenes lives on, such as in this Dazzler of the Day post.
Tom Daley has been so popular here that he has his own category, a la Madonna and Tom Ford. In post after post after post, he’s gotten into a Speedo, almost out of a Speedo, and all sorts of glory in-between.
The perpetual beach shots of a shirtless Shawn Mendes should never stop coming. Mendes has an extensive shirtless history here, especially in underwear posts like this and this and this.
Simu Liu was a Dazzler of the Day here, thanks to his entrance to the Marvel Universe. He manages to look even better in the pool universe.
Going the extra mile and bringing up the rear of this post is Charlie Puth, who’s been thirst-trapping hapless admirers of the male form on social media for years. This fully-naked Charlie Puth shot is a fitting end to this Sunday stretch of shirtlessness.
For someone who has been featured here so many times that he almost has his own category (something reserved for the likes of Tom Ford, Madonna, and Ben Cohen), Zac Efron has egregiously never been named Dazzler of the Day until now, and mostly for the recent shirtless Instagram photo you see here. Perhaps we just needed a reminder of his body of work, so his feature as Dazzler is up now, and you are welcome to peruse all the other times he has been featured here, such as this shirtless post, or this scantily-clad post, or this basically naked post, or this full-nude post. Take your choice.
Rugby great Ben Cohen has been featured on this site so many times that he has his own category (the kind of glory usually reserved for such luminaries as Madonna and Tom Ford). Today, Cohen earns his second Dazzler of the Day due to his continued work at the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation to fight back against bullying. Thanks to these gorgeous photos by Leo Holden of Snooty Fox Images, Cohen continues to show how he is indeed the complete package of dazzling goodness in a world that needs more of it.
Keenly aware of the power of the thirst trap, Charlie Puth has been baiting his fans for the better part of the year, with sly peeks at his underwear-clad life, and while there will always be those who criticize everything that everyone does, I’m not made about any of it. He’s the Dazzler of the Day thanks to his undying and contagious passion for music, and his cheeky way around social media. His newest album ‘CHARLIE’ is due this October (which is closer than we want to realize). Visit his official website here for further details.
