The gays got spoiled by several bare ass scenes from male celebrities in 2025, and we’re manifesting even more of them for 2026.
What that booty do?!
Between male bare asses on TV shows and gay sex scenes in movies, 2025 was a landmark year for male celebrity butts. Because we are manifesting a 2026 that is just as plentiful in terms of male ass representation in mainstream media, it’s only right to celebrate a year marked by buns out — and all over place — like 2025.
Jack Cameron Kay — ‘Boots’
Jack Cameron Kay on Boots.Netflix
Jack Cameron Kay was one of the breakout stars from Netflix’s Boots, and it’s interesting to consider how much of the character’s introduction to the fans is mostly nonverbal. Between Kay’s flirtatious faces toward lead actor Miles Heizer (as the protagonist Cameron Cope) and all the times he gets to show some skin, it’s no surprise that audiences went all-in, right away, on the character’s journey in the Netflix series.

Benito Skinner — ‘Overcompensating’
Benito Skinner on Overcompensating.Prime Video/A24
Benito Skinner is always serving body-ody-ody on Overcompensating, and we’re here for it. Besides being a hilarious lead actor, Skinner also flexes creative muscles as a writer and showrunner in the Prime Video and A24 original series. Being a multihyphenate is looking pretty great, and we can’t wait to see what season 2 of Overcompensating will bring.
Where to watch: Overcompensating is streaming on Prime Video.
Sachin Bhatt — ‘Boots’
Sachin Bhatt on Boots.Netflix
Sachin Bhatt played Max Parker’s love interest on Boots — a character mostly removed from the continuity of the main characters, but who actually has a significant impact on a few storylines that unfold over time. As expected, Bhatt also looked great in all of his intimate scenes with Parker, and we were looking forward to seeing the rest of their story prior to the official announcement that Boots season 2 wasn’t picked up by Netflix.
Where to watch: Boots is streaming on Netflix.
Dylan O’Brien and James Sweeney — ‘Twinless’
Dylan O’Brien and James Sweeney in Twinless.Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions
Both Dylan O’Brien and James Sweeney went all out for their sex scenes in Twinless. Asses were intensely clapped, let’s just say that!
Where to watch: Twinless is available for rentals and purchases on Apple TV+.
Agustín Della Corte — ‘Olympo’
Agustín Della Corte on Olympo.Netflix
We’re still grieving that Olympo wasn’t renewed for a second season on Netflix. With its cancellation, we will never be reunited with our beloved Roque, played by Agustín Della Corte. Anyway, the first season is there for all to see.
Where to watch: Olympo is streaming on Netflix.
Terrell Carter — ‘Beauty in Black’
Terrell Carter on Beauty in Black.Netflix
Some people are still unaware of the rather significant presence of queer characters on Beauty in Black, and Terrell Carter is certainly one of the biggest stars from the series.
Where to watch: Beauty in Black is streaming on Netflix.
Connor Storrie — ‘Heated Rivalry’
Connor Storrie on Heated Rivalry.Crave/HBO Max
Connor Storrie played Ilya Rozanov, a stoic Russian with a heart of gold, on Heated Rivalry. As one of the two main characters, fans got plenty of ass and sex scenes from the actor.

Max Parker — ‘Boots’
Kieron Moore on Boots.Netflix
2025 had a lot of bombshells entering… well, not a villa, but the overall queer zeitgeist. Boots was particularly transformative for actor Max Parker, who was one of the biggest breakout stars on this Netflix series.
Where to watch: Boots is streaming on Netflix.
Hudson Williams — ‘Heated Rivalry’
Hudson Williams on Heated Rivalry.Crave/HBO Max
Our dear Shane Hollander, played by Hudson Williams, showed off his ass (probably) dozens of times throughout this first season of Heated Rivalry, and we love him for it.
Where to watch: Heated Rivalry is streaming on HBO Max.
Russell Tovey — ‘Juice’
Russell Tovey on Juice.BBC Three
The gays love Russell Tovey, and he loves them back! The actor has had quite a string of high-profile appearances as of late, and his role on Juice season 2 was another fantastic moment for his fans.
Where to watch: Juice is streaming on BBC iPlayer (unavailable in the U.S. as of this writing).
Ryoma Takeuchi — ’10 Dance’
Ryoma Takeuchi in 10 Dance.Netflix
Heated Rivalry was all the rage this year, but don’t sleep on this other queer love story between two very competitive men who navigate a somewhat similar rivals-to-lovers journey on Netflix’s 10 Dance.
Where to watch: 10 Dance is streaming on Netflix.
Glen Powell — ‘The Running Man’
Glen Powell in The Running Man.Netflix
Glen Powell rappels down the side of a building wearing nothing but a towel in The Running Man. And then that towel falls off. Enough said, we think.
Where to watch: The Running Man is now playing in theaters.
Chuku Modu — ‘Juice’
Chuku Modu on Juice.BBC Three
Chuku Modu had the Juice audiences hypnotized by what he was showing them in this second season. A win/win, innit?
Where to watch: Juice is streaming on BBC iPlayer (unavailable in the U.S. as of this writing).
Adam DiMarco — ‘Overcompensating’
Adam DiMarco on Overcompensating.Prime Video/A24
Adam DiMarco plays a truly chaotic human being on Overcompensating, but the gays are usually too distracted by this heartthrob to even notice it. From checking in at The White Lotus season 2 to terrorizing the campus of [fictional, in-universe] Yates University, DiMarco is welcome to appear on our TV screens whenever he wants.
Where to watch: Overcompensating is streaming on Prime Video.
Jason Fernández — ‘Fate’
Jason Fernández in Fate.Disney+/Hulu
The gays might know Jason Fernández as the actor who plays the younger version of Sheriff Jake (Ethan Hawke) in Pedro Almodóvar’s steamy gay Western short Strange Way of Life. Starring on a new TV show titled Fate, Fernández is yet again giving the gays plenty to look at.
Where to watch: Fate is streaming on Disney+.
Kieron Moore — ‘Boots’
Kieron Moore on Boots.Netflix
Kieron Moore plays a homophobic bully on Boots who insults the main character of the series (played by Miles Heizer) in the very first episode. Nonetheless, the audience can’t help but feel that there’s more to this character than what meets the eye, and is therefore invested in his journey. (In Moore’s case, 2025 involved even more buns out through his performance as a sex worker and camboy in the fascinatingly complex indie feature Blue Film.)
Where to watch: Boots is streaming on Netflix.
Arnas Fedaravicius — ‘The White Lotus’
Arnas Fedaravicius on The White Lotus.HBO Max
It’s no wonder the gays were flooding Arnas Fedaravicius’s DMs after seeing his performance on The White Lotus season 3. Is his character potentially involved in some shady shenanigans taking place at the resort? Perhaps. But that’s none of our business, is it?
Where to watch: The White Lotus is streaming on HBO Max.
Henry Golding — ’Another Simple Favor’
Henry Golding in Another Simple Favor.Amazon MGM Studios
Henry Golding has been loosening up in performances that followed his posh character in Crazy Rich Asians. In this wild sequel titled Another Simple Favor, Golding literally takes a shower that plays out for quite some time. Zero complaints.

Gleb Abrosimov — ‘Olympo’
Gleb Abrosimov on Olympo.Netflix
Gleb Abrosimov, previously known as an Élite heartthrob, made waves in the first few episodes of Netflix’s Olympo.

Jackie Kay — ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’
Jackie Kay on Monster: The Ed Gein Story.Netflix
Queer people have a complicated relationship with the Monster franchise, and for good reason. However, many things can be true at the same time, and Jackie Kay’s scenes in The Ed Gein Story give fans quite a view.
Where to watch: Monster: The Ed Gein Story is streaming on Netflix.
Brett Dalton — ‘Boots’
Brett Dalton on Boots.Netflix
Best known for playing Grant Ward in the MCU and having a large role on ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Brett Dalton was a recurring character on Boots who just casually walked around a room with his buns out.
Where to watch: Boots is streaming on Netflix.
Sterling K. Brown — ‘Paradise’
Sterling K. Brown on Paradise.Hulu
The always handsome but typically buttoned-up Sterling K. Brown gave his gay fans a view so good, some would describe it as looking at Paradise. That’s the name of the series, too, if you’re still able to watch things for the plot!
Where to watch: Paradise is streaming on Hulu.
Patrick Schwarzenegger — ‘The White Lotus’
Patrick Schwarzenegger on The White Lotus.HBO Max
Speaking of walking around naked, Patrick Schwarzenegger’s performance on The White Lotus season 3 as the douchey Saxon Ratliff ran the gamut of emotions for viewers… some of whom were turned on, some of whom were creeped out, and even others who were both.
Where to watch: The White Lotus is streaming on HBO Max.
Richard Fleeshman — ‘Riot Women’
Richard Fleeshman on Riot Women.BBC One/BritBox
Another great onscreen view in 2025 came from actor Richard Fleeshman starring in the U.K. series Riot Women. He even had a scene on all fours, which had the gays going full feral.

Xavier Mills — ‘Chad Powers’
Xavier Mills on Chad Powers.Hulu
Even though this was a very brief moment, Xavier Mills’s shower scene on Chad Powers had the gays shook (and happy).

Will Sharpe — ‘Too Much’
Will Sharpe on Too Much.Netflix
You probably watched — and loved — Will Sharpe on The White Lotus season 2, and the actor returned to star in the Meg Stalter-starring show Too Much. Yet again, Sharpe didn’t disappoint when it came to showing some skin.
