Never one to shy away from showing off his physique, McConaughey has shared plenty of shirtless snaps over the years. Here are some of the actor’s best shirtless photos.
Sexiest Man Alive

McConaughey has long been considered one of Hollywood’s most handsome leading men and was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2005.
A year later, he was photographed exercising shirtless on the beach — proving exactly why he earned the title, which he insists never expires.
“People tell me, ‘You’re no longer the Sexiest Man Alive, McConaughey,’ for the last 19 years, every time someone else has been crowned. And I say, ‘Well, I’m still alive. Come on!'” he told People in April 2024. “If you’re named it, and you’re still alive, you’re still Sexiest Man Alive. That was my joke going forward with everything.”
