2 Those Abs

Matt bared his hot bod in Magic Mike as one of the male strippers, and boy, oh boy, does he have a hot bod. But it wasn't all fun and games showing so much skin . . . there was hot wax involved too. He said, "We all had to go there. I'm not going to say it was fun, and personally I will never do it again, but for that project, it was necessary. We were all in the boat together." We'd definitely tuck some dollar bills in his sailor suit.

3 He Could Totally Be Christian Grey

A fake Entertainment Weekly cover got our hopes up that Matt could star as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Matt as a domineering BDSM sex freak? We would watch that.

In 2012, Matt officially came out at the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards by thanking his partner, Simon Halls, and their three kids when he accepted an award for his work fighting HIV/AIDS.

We got to see Matt's mad singing and dancing skills when he guest-starred on Glee as Blaine's older brother. Our favorite line from the episode? Kurt saying, "Blaine, your brother is the best-looking man in North America." We agree!
