For this particular year ending post, the men of the moment aren't necessarily my favorite models, photographers or actors. I would be impossible to narrow down favorites from the many artists that I feature. These men however, made an impact this year, most for showing a little skin. Most bared it intentionally, a few (ahem... Chis Evans) maybe not so much. All though, made an impact on-line in a year we desperately needed the diversions.
Men of Instagram
From Leslie Jordan's videos to photographs from artists that inspire, Instagram continued to be a great place to visit. Now, the Instagram police are getting on my last nerve, there is a difference between breaking rules, and the expression of self through art. There is a difference, and they seem to know it when it comes to celebrities like Ansel Algort. (Below) I loved Ansel's nude shot, an image made even more provocative given it was taken by his father. Had he not been a celebrity however, I'm sure the shot would have been quickly removed. There's nothing Instagram hates more than a hint of pubic hair.
One of the more surprising images that Instagram let stay up for awhile was the image below from actor Chris Lowell. The actor, whom I first featured back in 2008 (HERE:) during his time walking shirtless with a surf board on Private Practice. Chris,, now also a photographer, posted the image of himself below that if I'm not mistaken, shows his penis. The image is indeed a beautiful shot, and from I remember stayed up for awhile. Not sure who removed it, Instagram or the actor himself, but it was good while it lasted.
Many celebrities turned to Onlyfans this year, some, for the freedom to post what they want. For others, it was a good way to earn a little extra cash while their acting gigs dried up during the pandemic. Actor Tyler Posey (above) is getting the lions share of attention, and he's posted some great shots, but. I'm more drawn to Michael Yeager. Yeager's OnlyFans is one sculpted piece of delicious cake.
The net went wild earlier this month with a taste of crack from KJ Apa. Now I lust after Apa as much as the next guy, but this 'nude scene' seemed like more like bait, than an actual meal. Now I agree, it's more of Apa than we've seen on screen before, but some of his scenes on Riverdale are far more satisfying to me. I'm sure Apa feels the pressure of weaving his serious acting goals with the demand to show some skin, but I'm hoping he finds a role in the future that lets him show both his talent, and his entire delicious butt.
I don't generally re-watch television shows, but I'm actually looking forward to re-watching Normal People some time in the future. Paul Mescal (above) was so good, and the story so compelling, it deserves another look.
Tom Mercier (below) made a big splash on-line for his full frontal in the pilot for HBO's We Are Who We Are. The scene was so memorable, not only due to Mercier's incredible body, but because of how the scene was shot. Usually naked men on HBO, even when nude, are hidden, but not in this case.
Model Pietro Boselli has the body of a Greek God for sure, but my interest was beginning to wain. Not because of his looks, but because of my assumptions about some of his social media posts. His recent shoot for Yummy Magazine however, yanked me back in. The 70's porn vibe captured by Italian photographer Giampaolo Sgura is magnificent. Pietro also seems to feel more freedom to nakedly express himself since recently leaving his teaching position.
