Chad Michael Murray poses shirtless in 2025 calendar photoshoot

Chad Michael Murray gives Us what we want.

Murray, 43, posed shirtless for a calendar photoshoot and shared the steamy pictures a week before the release of his Netflix holiday film The merry gentlemenwhere he plays a dancer at a male revue.

“It was either this or another Ugliest Dog of the Year calendar,” Murray joked via his Instagram Story Wednesday, November 13. “Link coming soon :).”

Earlier that day, Netflix revealed the images via Instagram with a special video message from Murray himself.

“Then listen, I May get the perfect white elephant gift for your holiday party,” said the actor, wearing a dark pin-striped suit with a white shirt underneath. “Check out my 2025 calendar.”

In January, Murray flaunts his tanned and toned physique in a loose bow tie and tuxedo pants, and in February’s shoot, he holds a heart-shaped pillow in front of his crotch while holding a Cupid’s arrow.

In March, he holds a basketball and green bow tie, a nod to St. Patrick’s Day; in April he has rabbit ears; in May he has a bouquet of roses for your mother; in June he tips the graduation hat; in July he wears the American flag as a cloak; and in August he has a cake for his birthday on the 24th.

In September, he puts his face on game day and grabs a football on the field; in October, he’s holding a pumpkin while wearing overalls (one strap slipped off); and for the holidays, he is shown basting a Thanksgiving turkey and peeking out from behind a Christmas tree.

Both Murray and Netflix are building excitement for The merry gentlemenwhich will be published on Wednesday 20 November. It also helps Britt Robertson, Marla Sokoloff, Beth Broderick, Michael Gross and Maxwell Caulfield. The film follows Ashley (Robertson), a professional dancer who, hoping to save her parents’ small-town music venue, decides to stage a Christmas-themed all-male revue. Murray, who plays Luke – a name that is all too familiar One Tree Hill fans — is a repairman who agrees to participate in the show.

Murray has not been shy showing off his chiseled abs over the years. In an interview from October 2020 with British GQhe explained his basic relationship with food.

“I’m not a foodie, so that helps,” he said. “I eat out of necessity, not out of desire. I bring my own food to work – I’ve done that for the last ten to 15 years,” he said. “I live on the same things every single day: nuts, coffee, Kind bars . I take tuna to work every day with some Wheat Thins – American Wheat Thins.”
