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’.
This Olympian just had surgery on an injured Achilles tendon a few months ago. MONTHS. And now he’s competing in the Olympic games. Introducing gymnast Artur Dalaloyan as our Olympic Spotlight tonight, in honor not just of triumphing over an injury in such speedy fashion, but in going on to excel at his Olympic experience. As someone who’s had entire weeks derailed by a hang-nail, I find this exceptionally impressive. (See also Tom Daley and Matty Lee.)
Thanks to his husband Chasten, the world has just been blessed with this shirtless Pete Buttigieg pic, which handily gives Mr. B the edge as Hottest American Politician. Witness his Hunk of the Day crowning, or his joint appearance as Dazzler of the Day with his husband. Hopefully he’s setting up a different sort of run again as President one day.
Once again taking the world’s stage by shirtless storm, Pita Taufatofua kicks off this site’s Olympic coverage (such as it may be) in greased and grand fashion. This mark’s Pita’s third trip to the Olympics from Tonga, and that in itself is an impressive-enough feat. Add to that a killer smile and matching physique, and you have the recipe it takes to make an Olympic Spotlight truly shine. Check out his previous shirtless appearances here and here.
‘Tis the glorious season of Broadway Bares, and the accompanying Strip-a-thon that raises money for Broadway Cares. One of the most beloved poster boys for this celebrated event is Ricky Schroeder, a Broadway triple-threat who earns his first Dazzler of the Day after a couple of Hunk of the Day features (here and here). Check out his Broadway Bares fundraising page here to join in the action.
A little gratuitous beefcake never hurt an old blog like this, so here is Pietro Boselli making his Speedo-clad debut as Dazzler of the Day after numerous appearances here, such as in his first Hunk of the Day feature, this shirtless post, this underwear post, this naked post, this bulging post, this butt post, and this nude post. It’s summer, and such a skintastic Dazzler is especially welcome in a rainy week.
With this sexy summer shoot from Wonderland magazine, Shawn Mendes moves from Hunk of the Day stature to Dazzler of the Day material thanks to a strategically-placed guitar. His shirtless poses have been featured here and here, and his underwear shots here, but this marks his first turn as Dazzler.
His Speedo-clad form has graced this blog numerous times in the past, and as the world gears up for the summer Olympics he’s back in the Speedo again, suited up and ready to dive into his first crowning as Dazzler of the Day. This is Tom Daley and he needs no other introduction thanks to posts like this and this and most especially this. He’s been on competitive fire lately, with his diving partner Matty Lee, and the world waits with breathless anticipation for what the pair will bring to the Olympic pool.
