Today I wish to pay tribute to the time-honoured magazine photoshoot "put hot man in a suit in a pool". The more you think about it the weirder it is?! Andrew Garfield seems to be the latest actor roped into it.

I don't know exactly when it started - I could swear I've seen ones of 90s stars like Bradley Pitt etc, but can now not find those on the internet. But the form has claimed so many. Here's another of the spider-men

Someone else from the Marvels. I have to say, Anthony Mackie does not look happy here. You need to bring it when you're wearing a suit in a pool.

Oscar Isaac has looked hotter imo. Probably because he's quite cold in this pic! Ha ha ha

An ironic twist on the form from Baby Goose. Careful not to break the fourth wall too much, Ryan! We need to imagine that you are suave but also *accidentally* wet.

Hamm

Jordan, Efron and Teller. See what I mean about how it just looks weird after a while? They're very handsome men but perhaps not objectified enough here.

To be clear I'm not talking about some vulgar "wet t-shirt" kind of thing. It's too obvious what you're trying to do to me. (Bomer, The Rock, Franco)

In a way, I think the idea of just chucking a suited celebrity in any old California pool and scoring a cheap bit of handsomeness must be a defence against the celebrity's resistance to performing their function too overtly. (Hiddleston)

Armie looks uncomfortable and angry here, but he's the photographer's bitch at least. No way for him to argue once he's in there.

Is Russell Crowe even in a swimming pool here? It looks like the first reservoir in a water recycling unit.

I didn't mean to end on Zachary Quinto, it just panned out that way. He's doing it all wrong (get your face wet and wear some shoes, you monster!), so I'm really sorry about that.

I've had a write-in for Joaquin Phoenix, so it's my pleasure to append this one to the list.

Another write-in, this time for Colin Farrell. I think he's lacking a dinner jacket to be honest - this is close to wet t-shirt territory. Still, it works.

Just adding this one of Jim Caviezel to the thread! Please enjoy the sight of another man in a suit, in water.

Next up we have Alex Wolff with a jaunty-boyfriend angle on the classic. I would prefer a shirt and collar but fine!

And Jean Dujardin - bit of a fun one, this, and good drenching on the shirt.

Since this thread started going somewhat viral I've had submissions for Hayden Christensen and Vince Vaughn - two of the earliest examples of the phenomenon we've had so far.

Also a TV special of Pedro Pascal, Norman Reedus, Ricky Whittle and, er, John Bishop.

I'm informed that this is an actor called Alexander Ludwig. We may have run out of A-listers but the format stays strong.
