Mario Lopez Loses His Shirt For ‘Nip/Tuck’
Mario Lopez, People magazine’s Hottest Bachelor of 2008 and new host of Extra!, famously told People that his days of shirtless photoshoots were over … but, by the look of these new photos of Mario at the beach this week filming new scenes for the FX series Nip/Tuck, that declaration does not hold true in all instances. Fortunately for us, Mario has not enacted a shirtless ban on all of his television projects:

My shirtless photo-shoot days are behind me,” Mario Lopez tells PEOPLE in a bitter blow to beefcake. Not that the buff new Extra host has anything to hide. “Obviously, being healthy and staying fit are important to me,” says the 34-year-old, who in the past seemed like the only serious rival to Matthew McConaughey in the bare-chest sweepstakes … “My TV projects are my main priority,” he says. “And no, you will never see me host Extra without a shirt.” Still, to every rule there’s an exception – in this case, Nip/Tuck. Lopez says he is “thrilled” to be reprising the role of Dr. Mike Hamoui on the cable series, with Dr. Mike moving to Los Angeles – where he can once again gain the attention of the ab-admiring Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) in the locker room. “A small spoiler,” says Lopez. “Dr. Mike might not be taking anymore showers at the gym with Christian, but he will lose his shirt.”
Yes, indeed … he does lose his shirt. After the jump, check out a few more pics of Mario along with his Nip/Tuck co-stars Julian McMahon and Dylan Walsh on the beachy set of of the show in Long Beach, CA yesterday afternoon …

It looks like fun. I am a big fan of Nip/Tuck so I’m happy to see that production on the new season has already gotten underway. While I’m bummed that Mr. Lopez will be shying away from showering on the series from here on out, I guess I can’t be too upset since there is bound to be more booty (from other folks) showcased on the series. And, we have these hawt shirtless scenes to look forward to. Woot!

While I agree Mario has a hot body, for some reason he bugs me. I love the show Nip/Tuck as well.
Thanks for always posting hot bodies irregardless if I like them or not! :)

Mario is annoying but I would not mind seeing him and Julian get together for a different kind of game on the beach :)
I can dream, right?

I’m completely fine with him keeping his shirt off.. as long as he keeps his mouth shut.. he loses a lot of hot points when he starts talking..

he said on ellen, that he comment was mostly about photo shoots not so much his tv appearances.

I can’t wait for the new season of Nip/Tuck! Not necessarily for Mario, but for all of the scandalousness that ensues! But seriously, his body is ridiculous..Who would have thought that AC Slater would turn into such a hot adult?

Why does Julian shave his chest? it likes screams out I shave/wax to get rid of the gray…..LEAVE IT ALONE.
go to CVS and buy a hair color. he was so flawless on Charmed and very hairy. I agree, Mario is hot till he opens his mouth. tired of him on Extra already.

Mario takes his shirt off to distract from the void in his shorts. Thankfully, Julian has something to show off down there.
October 2nd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
Oh, he’s no Zack Morris.

I totally I agree, there is just something about him that just rubs me the wrong way.
October 2nd, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I must concur with JeffRob. Although I love his dimples, he’s no Zack Morris. Although, Zack is rockin’ some fug hair on his new TNT show, so…………Slater wins this round.
I don’t mind lookin’ at all the shirtlessnes. Nope. Not one bit.

But why with those tight shorts he doesn’t shows a basket?.I met him 10 years ago and I think he’s very hot.I still wonder about the lack of basket,not even a bump.

He looks manorexic. I don’t like my guys to be smaller than me… and i’m a size 3. I’ve seen him in person a few times and he’s tiny.
October 2nd, 2008 at 10:04 pm
He’s more annoying than hot.
