21 Asian Male Celebs That Have Us Feeling Oh So Very Thirsty
Apologies in advance to all our aunties reading this.
1. Manny Jacinto
Is this allowed? Is this LEGALLY allowed? How can Manny Jacinto be this beautiful? Someone please check the implications on this. The world has never been the same since The Good Place put him on all of our screens to introduce this Filipinx statue of a man to the world. Mr. Jancito, please relax. We're sweating.
2. Hasan Minhaj
Not only is Patriot Act host and comedian Hasan Minhaj an amazing role model, but he can also rock the hell out of hoodies *and* a Drake beard, AND can hold intellectual discussions about the current world around us?? If you look like this, contact us via email. Slide into our DMs. We will drop coordinates.
3. Chris Pang
While we understand the Henry Golding hype, let's please not forget about the close-up abs shot in Crazy Rich Asians, courtesy of the one and only Chris Pang. Can you believe they set us up with that, and then we had to go back out into the real world with real men who AREN'T Chris Pang? We're still not okay. Please check back in later.
4. Seo Kang Joon
Listen...the man was literally cast in a drama called Are You Human? for his unearthly godlike visuals. Need we say more?
5. Joshua Dela Cruz
It wasn't so long ago when Nickelodeon announced their new host for Blues Clues & You, Josh Dela Cruz. Not only is he an amazing spot of Filipinx representation for millions of children, the internet quickly uncovered the fact that our kuya is also FINE. We are so excited that Josh gets to sit in the Thinking Chair, and also perchance on this — *dial tone*.
6. Eric Nam
We would like for this man to give us a kith. He does it all: hosting, singing, acting, having a glorious skincare routine. Traveling around the world like the polyglot king he is. And all with a Southern accent that we would like to be cradled in, like a freshly birthed calf.
7. Christian Yu
Christian Yu directs and leads the charge for the artist DPR Live and their creative music agency, Dream Perfect Regime. Let's just say he's not DPR's ~visual~ director for nothing, and he really must have a ~dream perfect~ gym regimen.
8. Dev Patel
Lions made us cry almost as much as watching Dev Patel's journey from his debut on Skins to now. Look at this man. We would like to curl up in his magnificent hair like a Pixar rat and fall asleep. What is he thinking? What is he feeling? We want to know it all.
9. Kim Taehyung (V)
We've said it a hundred times and we'll say it again: Taehyung of BTS transcends beauty standards, period.
10. Anderson .Paak
YES! LAWD! Gentlemen, please take out your pen and pencils and note how this talented, beautiful, wonderful man stays dressing. And if you don't want to thirst over Anderson .Paak's recent gains, you can instead stan his adorable wife and child. We're geeked either way.
11. Takeru Satoh
【ムビチケ発売決定】 3/27(金)より全国の上映予定劇場窓口(一部除く)にて<数量限定特典付きムビチケ>発売が決定しました! 「The Final」は、逆刃刀を手にして目を閉じる剣心が、 「The Beginning」は一筋の刀傷が頬に走る、儚い表情の剣心というビジュアルに。 #るろうに剣心最終章
The one live-action anime we will accept. Japanese actor Takeru Satoh's facial features are truly a blessing.
12. Simu Liu
It's our Subtle Asian Traits fave and also Kim's Convenience certified stallion, Simu Liu! This photo of Liu in particular has it all: boba on the shorts, muscles on thickums, and not a care in the world. We just — *chef's kiss* — thank you. On everything.
13. Tan France
Tan France from Queer Eye makes us so proud to be Asian. I mean, the absolute range of this man. He looks like he should be soulfully smoking a cigarette, wearing a plaid jacket on the rainy streets of Manchester in a goddamn romantic comedy — with the French tuck and the accent, of course. We want what he has, so badly.
14. Choi Minho
Known by Shinee fans as "Flaming Charisma Minho," there's no denying that K-pop's OG boyfriend, Choi Minho, helped lead the way in popularizing the genre. 10/10 would recommend looking up "Choi Minho abs" if you need some gym inspo.
15. Jacob Batalon
We loved Jacob Batalon in Spider-Man. We also loved him in Let it Snow. We also...um...love him. Period. The glasses, the jacket, the chain poking through. We just know in our souls that he's got a big AF watch on too. What can't he do? False question. He can do it all. Because look at this man. LOOK AT THIS SUAVE, UNBOTHERED, CAN [NSFW NSFW NSFW] US MAN.
16. Remy Hii
We would simp for Remy Hii, not even going to lie to you. We are here for it. And he's AUSTRALIAN?! Did someone say Mr. Worldwide? Because that is how far we would travel to capture film photography and drink black coffee on a balcony to recreate this essence.
17. Aryan Khan
Real ones know the son of Shahrukh Khan, a.k.a. SRK, a.k.a Head Hot Girl, really is on the same wavelength of cute as his dad. We have many more riffs, but not enough room to say them. We will collect our thoughts and see ourselves to the exit *sweats profusely*.
18. Vincent Rodriguez III
It's the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend summer camp heartthrob himself, Vincent Rodriguez III! He can sing, dance, act, has amazing hair, and is an absolute hottie, all at the same time. If the aunties aren't proud now, it's honestly their fault.
19. Oh Sehun
K-pop superstar group EXO's youngest member Oh Sehun has the physique and facial features to cause heart problems. His looks along with his fun, sassy personality make quite the combo.
20. Bruno Mars
BRUNO MARS? DID SOMEBODY SAY BRUNO MARS? The king we didn't deserve but still got? The level of drip this man is on cannot be matched, cannot be replicated, cannot be reformulated. This is it. Short kings rise up.
21. Henry Golding
Mr. Golding, please allow us to say that you stole America's heart when you opened up that ring box on Crazy Rich Asians. We spend a lot of time wondering if you and Idris smoke cigars in tuxedos together. Thank you for your time.
