Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Welcome to our latest round-up of Instagram thirst-traps from queer celebs.

This week: Shawn Mendes is relaxed and shirtless as he covers Interview magazine, Paul Mescal is giving "Gladiator" in a photoshoot designed for maximum thirst trapping; celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton is hot and handsome in a stylish photoshoot for Man About Town, "One Of Your Girls" video boy Ross Lynch and his brother-slash-bandmate Rocky casually thirst trap for GQ Portugal.

Out models and partners Jose Poyato and Ruggery Valdivia Jimenez share delicious thirst traps –one dripping wet in bright swimwear, the other posing in pink briefs that showcase his body hair and muscular thighs. Enjoy!


"Canadian pop prodigy" and superhot musician Shawn Mendes is more relaxed than ever in his Interview cover shoot.


"The soft mullet haircut, shaggy facial hair, ear piercing, and, of course, the short shorts." We love everything about Paul Mescal's seductive "Gladiator" inspired thirst trap photo shoot for GQ. He's serving thigh in a little black outfit; he's doing pull-ups and looking down at us while he's working out. He's doing what needs to be done!




Even when he's wearing a shirt or a cardigan in this Man About Town photoshoot, hairstylist to the stars Chris Appleton has the knitwear wide open, buttoned down, or raised casually to show off his abs. It's a stylish, sexy photoshoot to celebrate a man who has shaped some of the biggest pop culture moments with his famous clients.




"One Of Your Girls" music video boy Ross Lynch did a shirtless GQ Portugal photoshoot with his brother and bandmate, Rocky, for a limited edition cover which sold out. In this alternate cover, Ross poses in a big fur coat, but makes sure his happy trail is the star of the show.


Instagrammer Jose Poyato is happily dripping wet as he hoses himself down to keep cool and show off the fun print on his swimwear.
