TGT11: 5 Off My Head - Tube Gratuities

.

Because I haven't made enough work for myself today covering my favorite male nakedness in the movies (not to even mention the other four days of endless excess we've already seen), I felt I really had to give a shout-out to the efforts of their small-screen counterparts this year since TV has become a true hot-bed of beefcakery. I'm not going to list all I could because honestly inside my brain right now is the part where James Brown collapses on stage and they wrap the cape around him, sweat flopping onto the front row, seriously. But I had to give a little bit of love in this direction, because damn! Good stuff. So here's the first five I thought of.



Charlie Cox on Boardwalk Empire - He gets bonus points for making out with Thomas on Downton Abbey, but he doesn't really need the bonus because oh my god I love furry little Charlie so much. See more here and here.

Thomas Jane, Hung - He sent the show off with a bang, i.e. a reveal of a dick so large they couldn't even fit the whole thing in frame. See everything over here and here and here. And bless him for this.

Joe Manganiello, True Blood - All the menfolk give it their all on True Blood but I'm giving Joe the attention this year, because he gave us a good look at that were-rump and yet somehow that scene of him wiggling into jeans was even more eye-popping.

Jake Gyllenhaal, Man Vs. Wild - Hey I didn't get to include him otherwise (he kept it all on in Source Code, the bastard person) and a celebration of gratuity without Jake is no celebration at all. See a bunch here.

Jason Momoa, A Game of Thrones - Another cast full of hot pieces we appreciate (Hey there, lil' Alfie Allen) but Khal Drogo wins the crown this year. Let's hope that Richard Madden and Kit Harington and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau bring it this next season. See more here. 

(And here's where I admit I just realized I forgot to include Momoa's Conan the Barbarian on the list of movie gratuities this year - I told you there'd be ones I forgot! See some shots from that movie here and here. Twas super foolish of me to forget this one. He might have even placed in the top 20 had I remembered him. Sorry, Jason!)

Alright feel free to tell me in the comments about

all the TV dudes I've not named here, I know there are lots.

Quote of the Day

.

If for no other reason then he says the words "butt cheek(s)" twice therein and thereby  reminds us of his own amply displayed pair, here's Joe Manganiello in a new interview with Out magazine explaining his oh-so-thespianish beefcakery on True Blood:

"As far as the butt cheek stuff goes, it just makes sense. It’s not gratuitous; it’s realistic. If you’re a werewolf and you transform, you lose everything and there are your butt cheeks. The show is a deconstruction of supernatural creatures. It’s not like other werewolf projects, where you magically reappear with tiny jean shorts on.”

Ooh, somebody wants to wrestle Taylor Lautner for werewolf dominance! And everybody wants to watch that. Anyway there are a couple more pics of the Big Man at that link. Plus we learn that at some point he'll be painted gold in Magic Mike. And I have to give props to Steven Soderbergh for making me laugh by saying this about that film:

"It’s kind of a buddy movie. We wanted the feel of Saturday Night Fever, but without the rape scene in the backseat."

(via) Why haven't they announced a premiere date for True Blood yet? I mean I know it usually starts in June which is still a ways away, but how am I supposed to say "True Blood is back in this-many days!" if they don't let me know how many days that is? I cannot. I am not a fortune teller.

Anyway there's also an interview with Joe Manganiello where these pics come from and there are a couple quote-worthy quotes from it. Like this bit about working with Alan Ball:

"I don’t tell daddy how to fuck. Alan is a genius. I trust his judgment implicitly and I give everything I have to my job, which is playing Alcide. Alan and the writers give me the situation and what I’m going to say and then I put my stink on it."

The testosterone dripping off that is a little bit much this early in the morning, it's making me light-headed. If he ever said the words "I don't tell daddy how to fuck" to me I would surely pass right the hell out. And then they ask him about how he prepares for his nude scenes:

"I get in the gym and bust my ass. I don’t really have any body hair to groom … if that’s what you’re asking."

Doesn't it seem really weird how hairless a man he is? Up above the neck its scruff city, and down below it's baby-bottoms-ville. I'm not entirely convinced he's naturally so smooth, to be honest. I think he sneaks off and dips himself in a tub of depilatory cream every couple of weeks.

ETA Oh wait, here is one more picture of him I found this morning!

That could hardly be left unposted, now could it.

FEBRUARY SO FAR ♥

February has been lovely so far, sleepy afternoons watching Heroes, True Blood and homemade slushes, finding my old iPod and listening to My Chemical Romance, late lunches with Matt at our local, reading Atonement, sugary pancakes, afternoons out with my parents, watching amazing Studio Ghibli films my favourite is Ponyo that arrived yesterday and today an amazing package from my best friend Kimberley arrived! ♥
Hope everyone had a pretty valentines day yesterday ♥
