hot men

Man, are we ready for some football. This week’s Monday night game featured hunky quarterback Eli Manning leading his New York Giants to a win over the St. Louis Rams.

Today, a Canadian hunk. Scott McGillivray comes to us courtesy of our northern neighbor… and boy, are we thankful. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — it doesn’t get much better than a hottie with a hammer.

We’re in absolute love with British actor Sam Riley. Though we don’t endorse many of his actions — smoking, sulking, being too skinny, being married — he’s completely won us over. The hollow-cheeked hunk has an almost haunting beauty which directly causes us to watch (on repeat) clips of him on YouTube.

Heck, with his diver’s body and skimpy Speedo, Troy Dumais could have the face of an ogre and still be our Hunk of the Day. Luckily (for us!) that’s not the case — this hottie is handsome from head to toe.

Ah, a man with a hammer. Carpenter Carter Oosterhouse (and part-time Nautica model) stars in two shows on HGTV – ‘Red Hot & Green,’ a program about eco-friendly design, and ‘Carter Can,’ where he helps homeowners through seemingly impossible home improvement dilemmas. Full disclosure: We watch the shows mainly to gawk at Oosterhouse’s unbelievable hotness.

One reason we love ‘America’s Got Talent‘: It introduces us to hunks in categories we never could have imagined. Say, magicians. Say, Landon Swank. (God, even his name is hunky.) The Alaska native (naturally) is currently fighting it out as one of the show’s top ten remaining acts.

Quintessential California boy Paul Walker is a lot more than just a sandy-haired surfer. The actor from ‘Varsity Blues’ and ‘The Fast and the Furious’ is also a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-itsu, a marine biologist, a race-car driver, an earthquake relief provider!

Ah, nothing like some prep school prettiness to get us all hot and bothered. Boyishly cute Drew Van Acker plays the slightly creepy character of Jason DiLaurentis on ABC Family’s ‘Pretty Little Liars,’ and like we said, he definitely fits the “pretty” bill.

Nothing’s more attractive than a man with a talent… and Charlie Siem certainly fits that bill. The hauntingly handsome classical violinist hails from Britain (sigh… an accent…), and released his first album in 2008. His latest album was released this month in the UK, and will soon be available in the US.

Thank you, BBC America, for bringing us the miniseries The Hour, starring the broodingly good-looking Ben Whishaw as Freddie. He hails from Bedfordshire, which to our American ear sounds incredibly ye olde worlde exotic.

A man in uniform? We like, we like. Two uniforms? SIGH. Such is the case for actor Daniel Sunjata, who plays firefighter Franco Rivera on ‘Rescue Me’ and nurse Eli on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ He’s unique and exotic, and has an absolutely flawless smoldering gaze.

You know what they say about tennis? It keeps a body in mouth-watering physique. Well, that may not be what they say, but that’s what we’re saying after getting a look at Rafael Nadal’s recent Armani campaign.
