Once again, our neighbors to the north have given a gift that keeps on giving, this time in form of Shawn Mendes. The Toronto native has a voice built for pop hits, and a body built for Calvin Klein underwear. Always a warbler, he used to post six-second snips of him singing covers on the social video app Vine when he was 15, and quickly amassed millions of followers. A record exec took notice, and Shawn signed with Island Records, releasing his debut studio album Handwritten in 2015, at the age of 17. The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 chart, making Shawn one of only five artists to debut at number one before hitting the age of 18. His single, “Stitches,” was an instant hit, and the video for it has over 1.4 billion (with a b) views on YouTube. He’s cute as hell in it, with a bit of a baby face. He’s infinitely more grown up and close to setting everything in sight on fire as a Calvin Klein model dressed in tight boxer briefs that do little to disguise what is undoubtedly his utterly lickable package. His chest is bare, and the boy has definitely been working out. Further proof of his hotness can be seen in a 2020 promo for his fourth studio album, Wonder, where he starts out by taking a steamy shower that wets his adorably curly hair, drips water over his toned body, and slides over his randomly inked skin. For mostly clothed sexiness, check out the video for his 2022 single “When You’re Gone,” a compilation of rehearsal and concert footage that shows him in his element, running his finger through his hair, playing guitar in a thin undershirt, and singing his heart out. All at the age of 23.
