Soap Opera Hunk Paul Telfer Takes Home Daytime Emmy, Let's Look at His Playgirl Cover

We aren't embarrassed to admit that we watch soap operas. Not only do we love some over-the-top drama (especially when it isn't ours), we love the parade of hot men that come in and out of the story lines. One of our straight guy crushes is on actor Paul Telfer, who has been on Days of Our Lives for a decade, playing the steamy Xander Kiriakis. He's got a great body, that chiseled and handsome face, and piercing eyes. Celebrating his tenth year on Days of Our Lives, he just took home the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series. He looked so hot on the red carpet, and it reminded us of the time he graced the cover of Playgirl magazine in underwear. Of course, we had to do a deep dive into some of his hot content.

Congrats on the Emmy, Paul!

Check out this hot stud's gorgeous smile, that furry chest, and that tighty-whitey bulge! Playgirl knew what they were doing, putting this stud on the cover!

Playgirl also did a hot photoshoot with Paul and some of the other studs from Days of Our Lives. We got to see these studs show off a lot of skin while playfully posing with each other. How many soap opera fantasies did this photoshoot fulfill? How damn!

One of Paul's fan Instagram accounts put together a compilation of Paul's hottest shirtless moments on Days of Our Lives for 2024. This soap stud is just so damn hot. Woof!

Fun fact: Paul hails from Scotland. Before making his splash on Days of Our Lives, he appeared in the TV series Hercules, NCIS, and Vampire Diaries. Just look at this alpha stud's hot stare. He's giving Zoolander a run for his money.

We love this black and white photoshoot, giving us a cologne commercial vibe.

Although he takes off his shirt often, we haven't seen much more skin. We'd give anything for Calvin Klein to put him in an underwear ad. And he certainly has the moves. Check out this striptease he did in his early career for the film Miss Conception.
