Have you seen Challengers yet? Then you may be entitled to compensation and by compensation I mean checking out Mike Faist. Mike Faist is everyone's latest crush after watching his bi boy scenes with Zendaya and Josh O'Connor. We have seen Josh in the flesh a number of times, but it's time for us to turn our attention to Mike Faist for this week's #MCM.
As we've previously reported, Challengers is the latest film from Luca Guadagnino which stars a trio of tennis players all horny for each other. Luca directed Call Me By Your Name and with this film he has proven that he is a master of intimacy on the big screen. He casts sexy actors and he's great at directing them to do sexy things with each other. What a triumph! One of those sexy actors is Mike Faist.
Mike is HAWT, mama. You may previously recognize Mike from the recent West Side Story where he played Riff to perfection. He has also gone shirtless in 2021's Panic where I was panicking that we didn't see more. The Ohio native is a rare young actor who has really made a name for himself - no nepo help or rich dads or anything - and it has paid off. He went from selling theater tickets in New York to earning Tony nominations for his role in Dear Evan Hanson. And now? He's a movie star! Plus he is so so so good in Challengers.
Challengers is definitely the hottest film of the year so far! But is there nudity? Well, yes and no. There is full frontal male nudity in a locker room scene, but it is brief and it doesn't belong to our leading hotties. There is no explicit sex scene between the three despite the numerous threesome jokes that everyone is making. Instead, there is a very passionate makeout scene between the three - yes, the same "kissing scene" that Zendaya said is weird for people to be obsessed with.
Ummmm, no it's not. Three hot people making out is something that everyone loves to see. When two of the three hot people are sexy male actors, then Mr. Man is swooping in to report on it like it's breaking news. Zendaya, get a grip! Or better yet, check out other threesome movies. May I present you with The Dreamers?
So while the nudity isn't quite there, the film is still stirring up some feelings from audience members. It is being hailed as the bisexual movie that everyone needs to see. Mike keeps this chaste - though I am DYING to see more from him - but Josh has given the camera cock loads of times (hehe, see what I did there?).
You haven't seen Challengers? Well, that's okay. But now I challenge you to go to the theaters and watch it as soon as you can because you will be extremely horny afterward. Even though the nudity is sparse, it is still a really steamy time. Trust me - it's worth it!
