10 Moments that Prove Why We Love Shawn Mendes
Shawn Mendes is one of the brightest young stars in the world. Combining a velvety-soft voice with a jawline that could cut diamonds, Mendes is captivating in a way few other musicians are right now. The Canadian has a particularly strong LGBTQ+ following. Whether this is because fans like to speculate about Mendes' sexuality, or it's simply because queer folks have always found comfort in pop sensations, it's a fact that the gays stick on every social media post from the songwriter like glitter at a drag show. It's also much appreciated that Mendes is a strong ally and is vocal about issues that impact the community. Sweet and handsome, what a wonderful combination! We've decided to join in on the thirst with a compilation of Mendes' juiciest thirst traps and best moments of the year. Let's begin!
Shawn Mendes singing Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark" is a surprising cover to imagine, but the singer used an endorsement with Tommy Hilfiger to show off his 1980s dance-rock chops to perfection. Whichever version you prefer has nothing to do with the jaw-dropping sexiness Mendes exudes in his classic American attire, although he looks even better in the clips with less clothes on.
Indiana Jones is as classic as action heroes can get. Sweaty, dirty, and gritty Harrison Ford was a sight to behold back in the 1980s and Mendes showed during a celebrity Halloween party this year that he would be more than an adequate replacement if Ford ever wants to hang up the whip. We don't know whether he can perform on screen as well as behind a mic, but at least he'd look perfect trying, right?
A singer deciding to model underwear is rarely a surprise but it doesn't mean our eyes shouldn't still appreciate the view. Mendes posed in his Calvin Klein's back in 2019 for an ad campaign, and we certainly lapped up the photos immediately.
You know what makes sexy men look even hotter? When they're playing sports. When Mendes decided to grace us with this series of photos hooping it up in Hawaii with some friends, it was hard to contain our excitement. The singer is just as steamy as our favorite NBA stars, and the black and white effect on the photos gives him an added allure.
Some of us look like crap when we roll out of bed in the morning, but not Shawn Mendes. Here, he gave us a peak at him immediately after a slumber, and the IG post absolutely didn't disappoint. This is also an ideal close-up of his incredible chest hair, a feature that not everybody wants on their favorite men, but how can you deny how gorgeous it looks on Mendes?
Mendes' most recent thirst trap went viral all over Twitter on Christmas Day. The hunk stripped down to his black underwear and dove in the frigid waters of a pond, leading to rabid fans screenshotting their favorite stills of the sexiness on the screen. The singer isn't shy about showing off his backside in post, his ass prominently pointed to the heavens during the daring dive.
Did Mendes decide to share this pic just for give his feet-loving fans? In the mesmerizing snap, he is seen relaxing before a big night touring in Austin, Texas. He shouldn't give away this content so easily! People will pay for foot photos, didn't you know?
Mendes showed off his body in this sensual photoshoot wearing nothing but a pair of classic blue jeans. The setting, his bedroom, surely adds to the fantastical thoughts that run amok in fans' heads.
Shawn Mendes goes to the beach. A lot. When you're rich, famous, and attractive, why wouldn't you enjoy hitting the waves and the sunshine? The beachgoers in these photos are some of the luckiest people alive and we couldn't pick just one thirsty ocean photo, as Mendes always looks delightful and cheerful when on vacation.
Not everyone can grow facial hair, and not everyone looks good in a beard. Mendes hasn't ever really tried to add this feature to his pretty face, but he has teased some five o'clock shadow before and it's as ravishing as you'd expect. Please grow it longer, Shawn. Pretty please.
Shawn Mendes has had a lot of fashionable looks at the Met Gala in recent years, but our favorite was this semi-shirtless tease at the 2021 event. Leather, body hair, and that necklace? A match made in heaven.
