Shirtless Scene

rdfs:comment

The most common form of Fan Service for women. A hot guy (real or animated) goes shirtless or wears a revealing top that shows off his pectorals. Saves the crew a fortune in wardrobe (or ink) for Mr. Fanservice. A less fleshy version of this is giving the man a button-up shirt with the top buttons undone, the rest of them available for unbuttoning at the call of his love interest or his leaving the shirt totally unbuttoned. Also a practice of slender Bishonen in Japanese media, especially Yaoi Guys. Western shows may play around with this by having the female characters ogle the "pool boy".

The most common form of Fan Service for women. A hot guy (real or animated) goes shirtless or wears a revealing top that shows off his pectorals.

A less fleshy version of this is giving the man a button-up shirt with the top buttons undone, the rest of them available for unbuttoning at the call of his love interest or his leaving the shirt totally unbuttoned.

Despite applying mostly to young, hairless types such as Bishonens, some men will occasionally sport a Carpet of Virility, although this may be Fan Disservice to some. Of course, their pants will always stay on. "Beefcake" poses for male performers probably date as far back in human history as skimpy outfits for female performers. One of the standard props of certain kinds of "Strongman" performers in circuses and such is a "tear-away" shirt that can be pulled off during a performance and then easily sewn back together in between shows. This type of gratuitous semi-nudity is also called a Shirtless Jackman Scene, named after muscular Australian actor Hugh Jackman whose film contracts allegedly contain a clause that demands the presence of at least one shirtless scene, even when the plot does not require it. It's not proven, but the majority of the films he has appeared in are strong evidence. Legend has it that some people are not able to recognize him with his shirt on, and X-Men (2000) established him as the pioneer of the current generation of topless male actors. This trope is among the Always Male tropes because... well, you know. See also Shower of Angst, Slipknot Ponytail, Man in a Kilt, Wet Sari Scene, Forging Scene, After-Action Patchup, and Lingerie Scene. If the character's everyday attire is conspicuously lacking a shirt, he would be a Walking Shirtless Scene. Examples of Shirtless Scene include:
