The Male Celebs Fans Want to See Drop Trou This Year

Male nudity in films and on TV is becoming more common and less taboo. Some view this rise of male nudity as an empowering way to challenge societal norms, as it breaks down traditional gender stereotypes and the idea that only women can be objectified in films. Others argue it is being used for sensational purposes and to generate more publicity. Case in point: White Lotus. That scene between Leo Woodall and the man who plays his uncle in the series, Tom Hollander, rattled the country for weeks.

But was it really any different from Sharon Stone’s infamous interrogation scene in Basic Instinct where she crossed and uncrossed her legs to reveal that she wasn't wearing any underwear?

“It's about time Hollywood begin objectifying men,” says Jack Davis of Mr. Man, the world’s leading online library of every male nude scene in the history of film and television. He argues that only good can come from Hollywood embracing male nudity. “We are all for celebrating the diversity of male bodies and promoting body positivity. By showing a range of body types and sizes, filmmakers are helping to normalize male nudity and reduce the shame often associated with it.”

Mr. Man polled its readers on the ten male celebrities they would most like to see in a nude scene in 2023.

At #10 is Joe Keery from Stranger Things. Mr. Keery has built a large Gen Z following, playing the endearing high school jock turned ice cream-slinger on the Netflix show. But before his rise to fame, Keery appeared in a rather salacious scene in bed with actor Cole Doman in the gay independent coming of age movie, Henry Gamble's Birthday Party.

Luke Macfarlane, the openly gay actor who played Billy Eichner’s love interest in the gay romantic comedy, Bros, has also appeared in intensely sexual scenes, including a group sex scene in Bros, but has yet to appear in the full monty on film. Macfarlane first rose to fame on the ABC television drama Brothers & Sisters. He has also played the romantic lead in a number of Hallmark Channel movies. He comes in at #9 on Mr. Man's top ten list.

Winston Duke, M'Baku in Black Panther, is the eighth most requested celebrity fans would like to see naked. In his films, Duke often shows off his incredible physique. Movie fans want to see more.

Another Black Panther star, Tenoch Huerta, appears on the list at #6. He edges out Elvis’ Austin Butler who comes in at #7.

Joel Kim Booster lands among the top 5. Mr. Booster was one of the hardest working actors in 2022, starring in seven projects, including the gay comedy film Fire Island and the television show, Loot.

Pete Davidson will come to many as a surprise on the list, but fans are eager to learn what may have attracted some of the biggest names in Hollywood - Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Emily Ratajkowski, Kim Kardashian, and Kaia Gerber – to him. He comes in at #4.

Rounding out the top 3 are Jon Hamm, most recently seen in Top Gun: Maverick and in the Progressive Insurance commercials and singer Shawn Mendes. Mendez has not been shy in showing off his body to fans on his Instagram, as well as in the surprisingly revealing Calvin Klein ad campaign. He is #2 on Mr. Man's list.

The #1 male celebrity fans would like to see naked in 2023, according to Mr. Man readers, is Lil Nas X. The openly gay singer has released several explicit music videos, including "Industry Baby", where he dances naked in a prison shower with a bunch of other men. But he has yet to reveal all… and fans are eager for it!
