We never knew #ToplessTuesday was a thing until now, but we're very thankful Chord Overstreet has made it one. "Here's a pic for #ToplessTuesdays. And yes I'm wearing my @theellenshow underwear. Lol," the actor wrote alongside the shirtless selfie on Instagram.

With his roles in larger-than-life action films like Captain America and Fantastic Four, it's easy to forget that Chris Evans isn't actually a superhero.

We fell in love with the Sons of Anarchy star (and his washboard abs) the moment he graced our screens as Jax Teller, and we've been following his moves ever since.

The R&B crooner was only 19 years old when he had his first hit single. And since then he has given us too many slow jams to count, introduced the world to Justin Bieber, and enjoyed a stint as a judge on The Voice. His body shows no signs of quitting either!

The Swedish import made us laugh in Zoolander, and made us swoon over him in True Blood. We are glad to see this Viking vamp back in Bon Temps, for the final season of the show.

The first of many "Ryans" to make the cut, this Canadian heartthrob needs no introduction. Star of The Notebook, main squeeze of Eva Mendes, and the cutest Internet meme around, Gosling has ladies the world over swooning.

Daniel Craig

The name’s Craig—Daniel Craig. The latest reincarnation of 007 made headlines in 2006 as the first actor to play James Bond who was born after the series began. He reprised his role in 2012's Skyfall, and is set to play the iconic character again in 2015.

Jackman is equal parts charming and sexy. Born to British parents in Sydney, he can captivate us as surly Wolverine in X-Men and also as the musically inclined Jean Valjean in 2013’s Les Miserables.

Justin Timberlake

Even when he was just one of five in boy band *NSYNC, Justin Timberlake stood out as a clear frontrunner for solo success—and he hasn’t disappointed.

Liam Hemsworth

We know Hemsworth for his starring role as hunky Gale in The Hunger Games, but the actor who grew up alongside his brother Chris in Melbourne, Australia first flashed his chiseled abs in 2010's The Last Song.

Ryan Reynolds

We didn’t fully understand the impact of Reynolds’ obliques until 2005's The Amityville Horror, when they were first prominently on display. We envy his wife Blake Lively, who now gets his stunning abs all to herself!
