It’s that time of year where I do my sacred duty of objectifying men in a tireless effort to balance the objectification scale. This is a protest; a sexy, glistening protest. It is a burden – A BURDEN I SAY – to search endlessly for images of shirtless, chiseled, well-oiled men. It is a sacrifice I am willing to make ALL FOR YOU!
First, I’ll start off with five honorable MENtions. These men are so respectable that they don’t have shirtless pictures online. You get a chance to fall in love with their “personality”.
Cody Fern for his performance in American Horror Story: Apocalypse. Sexy Lestat vibes all over the place. This man is incredibly beautiful.
Cas Anvar from The Expanse. This man is magic on the
AndrΓ© Holland from Castle Rock and A Stitch in Time. I fell in love with his regular guy performance. Feels like he grew up a few streets over. He has a restrained swagger, clean-cut, suburban, nice-guy thing going on. Nicely done sir!
David Duchovny will always have it. X-Files for LIFE! Skinner bonus for Stephanie.
Shazad Latif brought it all to the table in Star Trek: Discovery with his dual portrayal of a soldier with PTSD and sorta-Klingon? I
THE PARADE OF PECS BEGINS NOW!
#10 — Joel Kinnaman
Joel was decent in Robocop; much better in Altered Carbon. He’s too laid-back and it makes him sexy but boring? Maybe he is being miscast? Maybe should be cast as a bad guy? Whatever it is put some cayenne pepper on it hot stuff, we’re rooting for you!
#9 – Adam Driver
Another laid-back guy. He is
#8 Dwayne Johnson
Like, if The Rock is at number 8, who TF could possibly be 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1??? I almost couldn’t add Mr. Johnson *wink* to this list but because Rampage is considered science fiction we get the pec pops of love. My Instagram feed is filled with cats, puppies, shoes, and The Rock.
#7 – Toby Stephens
Was I the only person watching Lost in Space for Daddy Robinson? He has a low-key, barely contained, primal sexiness. He has ‘it’. Whatever ‘it’ is. His hair color melts me.
#6 Michiel Huisman
Michiel is the sexiest dark protagonistΒ of 2018. He was a gem in The Haunting of Hill House and brought a scattered, crazy sexiness to Nightflyers. I didn’t EVEN make the connection that Michiel was Daenerys’ boy toy in Game of Thrones.
#5 Michael B Jordan
His Fantastic Four performance left much to be desired. In fact, let’s never speak of that film again. Michael’s Black Panther performance blew me away. His raw aggression and resentment were relatable, powerful, and tragic. His as performance as Montag in one of my favorite books-to-films Farenheight 451 was amazing.
#4 Mike Coulter
Luke. F*cking. Cage.
#3 Chris Hemsworth
His performance in Avengers: Infinity War was outstanding! He is on the list every year because he keeps being sexy. That, dear reader, is shirtless man logic.
#2 Trevante Nemour Rhodes
Fourteen million people fell in love with this man in Bird Box. I’m beginning to think he’s why I liked The Predator so much.
# Jason Mimoa
From the dreadlocked muscle on Stargate: Atlantis to a GOD. Yep. That’s right for Jason. He knocked Chris Hemsworth out of a higher spot because he did not let anyone cut his hair. Beefcakes with long hair always win! I also realized that we have the same hair coloration, dark at the top with blonde tips. It’s a gender-
