Joseph Fiennes Nude

Younger brother of the harelipped but hunky Ralph Fiennes, English star Joseph Fiennes began his acting career on the stage, appearing in a West End production of the spooky play The Woman in Black. Too bad he didn’t play the Man in a Speedo, or better yet, The Man in Nothing!  His next role was opposite Dame Helen Mirren in A Month in the Country, and after that Joseph became a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company for two seasons, which must have helped him later on when he became the sexiest actor to play the Bard yet.

Joseph traded in the footlights of the stage for the flickering lights of the silver screen when he made his feature film debut opposite Liv Tyler in the 1996 drama Stealing Beauty. A lot of people were looking at Liv’s boobs in that movie, but we were stealing a look at Joseph’s junk (through his pants)! In 1998, he scored big with the critics when he appeared in two films that were nominated for Academy Awards. First he starred alongside Cate Blanchett in the lavish biopic Elizabeth and then he played an improbably hot young William Shakespeare opposite Gwyneth Paltrow in the Best Picture winner Shakespeare in Love, where we see his flawless body shirtless. In 1999, he showed off his fine ass in Forever Mine, then blessedly did it again in 2002's Killing Me Softly. Since then, we've seen him shirtless in American Horror Story and Strangerland, and we can't wait for more!
