Happy Hump Day: Aidan Turner

I started watching SyFy’s Being Human when it first premiered with pretty high hopes since I had heard the British version was amazing. Unfortunately, it didn’t really work for me and I often found myself bored or disinterested in the storyline as well as with the characters. After a few episodes, I quit and no longer watched. It wasn’t until recently that I decided to give the Brit version a go and oh my, am I ever glad I did. The hubs and I are now certifiably hooked with all 3 past seasons on Netflix instant. One particular draw (aside from a much more believable cast and script) is the Irish hottie mchottiepants, Aidan Turner, who plays the UK’s irresistible vampire, Mitchell. And even better? I just discovered he will be playing the young dwarf, Kili, in The Hobbit films. Score.

Happy Hump Day: David Gandy

I love featuring male models on hump day because I get to sift through an excessive amount of photos, unlike regular actors. I have to thank my lovely friend, Rosa, from Accidental Sexiness for this recommendation. David Gandy is a BRITISH model (I love when amazingly beautiful men come with an equally beautiful accent) that is best known for his work with Dolce & Gabbana. He is also ranked as the 3rd most successful male model according to Forbes magazine. Not too shabby, Gandy…

Oh. And he’s pretty much the perfect male specimen.
Carry on.

Happy Hump Day: Scott Speedman

Everyone got to know Scott Speedman on a little show called Felicity back in the late 90’s, but I was never one of them. I guess I was just too cool for J.J. Abrams back then (blasphemer). The first time I laid eyes on Mr. Speedman was in the Underworld films, where he plays Michael Corvin, one hot piece of werewolf. So beyond gorgeous photos like the ones I feature below came as no surprise to me – apparently those Felicity fans don’t remember him being quite so hunky. Just proves my theory that men only get better with age (too bad the same cannot be said of us – sigh).

Happy Hump Day: Tom Hardy

I don’t believe that females are the only ones that develop “girl crushes” – I’m pretty sure guys suffer from their own manly lovefests as well. Case in point? My husband has a man crush on Tom Hardy, whom I affectionately refer to as his boyfriend. In fact, he smiles like a little school girl whenever the commercial airs for his new film, This Means War (he will also play Bane in the newest installment of Batman – no big). I’m pretty sure if we didn’t have so many other activities buzzing around us lately, he would have made it the focus of a date night. He also made me watch Bronson (an interesting experience to say the least) and basically memorized his workout routines via youtube videos to illustrate to our former personal trainer (which caused them to be incorporated into our own – greeaaaat). It’s all kinda cute. Just sayin’.

Happy Hump Day: James Dean

It was time to whip out another vintage hottie for all of you out there, and I figured I’d go with a classic: James Dean. But before I begin, I have a confession to make. I’ve only seen one old film, and that’s only because my hubby basically shoved it down my throat (another confession? I didn’t like the one he made me watch. It was Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Go at it. Lynch me.), so I’ve never actually seen Jimmy Dean in action. I’m serious. But he just sprang out to me in all the photos I saw – he was so beautiful and mysterious. Those bad boys…they always find a special place in my heart.

Happy Hump Day: Gabriel Macht

Well lookie here, this week’s hottie didn’t even need a badge!
He already came with one!

This week I decided to leave the hump day hottie up to my readers, and my – did they ever vote! Many men were thrown into the mix, but Gabriel Macht seemed to win over the majority. I won’t lie, I’ve never seen Suits, and I don’t know much about Gabriel, but what I do know is he has some amazing hair and he can apparently make the majority of you turn into screaming little fangirls. Also, after a quick wiki search, I discovered he is married to Jacinda Barrett! Remember her? She was in The Real World: London. You know, the season where the dude’s tongue gets bitten off? Sweet.

Happy Hump Day: Brad Pitt

The first day of February! What a lovely day for my first official Hump Day in weeks (thanks to the lovely Roxy of GrrFeisty for taking over during my hiatus). I’m sure a lot of you are gearing up for the romantic holiday with your loves (we have absolutely nothing planned yet – yipes!), and maybe a cute little hottie will help get those creative juices flowing (that sounded really dirty).

I was pretty shocked when I noticed I hadn’t done Brad Pitt yet on the blog! Well, aside from my adorable pup (who I believe to be more handsome, of course). Sure, he’s old news, but Brad Pitt has managed to stand the test of time. He may not be the hottest heartthrob anymore, but he has grown into one of the heaviest hitters in Hollywood and seems like a genuinely cool dude.

HAPPY HUMP DAY: DAREN KAGASOFF

I will admit I’ve watched a quite a few seasons of the Secret Life of an American Teenager [thanks, Netflix!]. But really, how much back-and-forth [and back and forth…] argumentative dialogue can one person take?  The main reason I tuned in? This guy.

I wasn’t too fond of Kagasoff’s hairstyle, but after a quick flash of the abs in an episode or two, I figured I could stand it. Maybe if Daren Kagasoff made a few more topless appearances I would have kept watching the show. ;)

And for the record, this “high school hottie” was born in ’87, so this is not an attempt at cradle robbing. :)

Happy Hump Day: Adam Brody

Here’s an adam’s apple that probably hasn’t crossed your mind in a minute. I remember watching MTV’s Now What? and deciding that, for being so incredibly monotone, this guy is cute, has an amazing sense of humor, and a sweet wardrobe. My love of all things Brody truly blossomed when he temporarily joined the cast of Gilmore Girls, followed by a full blown Melificent-style fangirl obsession when Brody played Seth Cohen on the O.C. I’ve read in a few places that Brody is a lot like his television personalities, which got me all kinds of excited because our tastes in music and comedic stylings are pretty similar [see: indie rock and sarcastic to the max]. Although I didn’t realize he was “recently” in a couple movies, Jennifer’s Body and In the Land of Women [both added to my queue!], I look forward to swooning over Adam Brody again one day…or just watching reruns of the O.C. on the soap network. :)

Happy Hump Day: Bradley Cooper

This is another reader freebie for you all – think of it as an early Christmas gift! Despite being crowned the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, Bradley Cooper just doesn’t do it for me. Sure, he has that Ken doll, rugged masculinity going for him, but I think he’s just too pretty and too perfect. Could that ever be a problem? I guess I just like my men a little flawed. But I can’t deny that he looks wonderful with minimal clothes on and that he’s a pretty amazing actor. Although I haven’t seen Limitless, I’ve heard it’s fantastic, and I (along with the rest of America) loved him in the Hangover films, but my absolute favorite Cooper role has to be Wet Hot American Summer. Oh yes.
