It’s that time of year again! When loving families from all over gather together around a roaring television and get super mad at Alan Rickman for making Emma Thompson cry. I mean, how dare he. But right as Love Actually is celebrated twenty years later with a Diane Sawyer special, let’s try to focus on the happier parts of Richard Curtis’ holiday classic for the 21st century. Specifically, all the sexy men of the cast and their skin-tillating nudity on screen!
Hugh Grant
Let’s start with the lovelorn PM himself. Sadly, despite his history of cheeky rom coms Hugh’s never actually shown us those cheeks. We’ve gotten to see him shirtless on more than a few occasions, like in Notting Hill in just his boxers or when he visited a Thai massage parlor in Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason. Fingers crossed he's finally running out of reasons to not drop trou.

Alan Rickman
Before the dearly departed Alan Rickman broke poor Emma Thompson’s heart, he stripped bare on a boat and flashed both frontal and back-al nudity before jumping in a lake in Dark Harbor. It almost makes up for it.
****
Rodrigo Santoro
If you loved seeing Rodrigo in his undies trying to hook up with Laura Linney, don’t forget to check out his manly muscles and gorgeous glutes as one of the robotic hosts on Westworld.
****
Chiwetel Ejiofor
The film’s handsome bridegroom’s had two notable nude scenes, once in the Oscar-winning drama 12 Years a Slave and again when he starred in the series adaptation of The Man Who Fell To Earth. His bum is definitely out of this world!
****
Andrew Lincoln
Most people know him now as zombie killer Rick Grimes from The Walking Dead, but Andrew earlier career is actually filled with nudity, like when he flashed his hairy peen and balls stepping out of the shower on the BBC series This Life or his many booty-licious scenes on the Channel 4 series Teachers.
****
Martin Freeman
While he is one of the few in the film that shows some skin as a movie stand-in, Martin actually gave us the full monty four years later in Nightwatching where he plays the famous painter Rembrandt. Talk about a work of art!
****
Colin Firth
Someone cheating on the ever handsome Colin Firth might be a bit of a stretch of the imagination, but we’re more taken by the sight of his unbelievable ass. It’s graced the screen a number of times, but our favorite might be the 1993 period drama The Advocate.

Kris Marshall
This red haired hottie went on to bare his bottom in the 2012 comedy A Few Best Men and again the series based on an unfinished Jane Austen novel, Sanditon. Hopefully his buns didn’t get too sandy on that beach!
****
Liam Neeson
The sexy Irish celeb has never been shy about showing off his meat and potatoes, perhaps most famously in Under Suspicion’s shower sex scene that gets interrupted by a shootout.
****
Bill Nighy
Christmas may be all around, but you know what’s not? Nudity from Bill Nighy, which is crazy considering the man’s lengthy career. It’s Love Actually where he shows the most skin, coincidentally, as aging rocker Billy Mack. His television striptease is one of the highlight’s of the film but it also makes it wish he’d gift us with more nudity!
