Paul Telfer Shirtless, Young, and Emmy Award. Today in Men in White Briefs, we bring you the gorgeous Canadian hunk that is Paul Telfer. You’d know him already if you are a fan of daytime soap operas but if you are not, well, it’s about time you appreciate him because boy is he gifted.

By gifted, we mean he is a really good actor which is why no one was surprised that he won a best actor Emmy for his role as the scheming Xander Kiriakis who runs a diamond smuggling ring in Days of Our Lives. He was nominated for the same role in 2020 but didn’t bring home the trophy. This time, he’s a winnah! Specifically, he went home with a trophy for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series category. Yay!

Our Scottish hottie (yup he is from Scotland) is gifted in the looks department and boy does he look hawt, hawt, hawt in a pair of tighty whities. Unfortunately for you, we had to crop the photos because it might scandalize our Grandma Akita and we don’t want her to exclude us from receiving our rightful inheritance. Haha. If you want to see the whole caboodle, just check out the magazine which published the photos. Haha.

Paul Telfer Gay or Straight. He is straight and married to wife Carmen Cusack who’s also in the acting biz. They’ve been married since 2012 which means they’ve been a couple for 13 years already. Is our math correct? What do you call a 13th year anniversary? Well, we actually went to google and, apparently, its called a citrine anniversary after the citrine quartz colored from light yellow to deep amber “evoking warmth and sunshine”. Google says it often represents joy and positivity.

Now, our Paul may be straight in real life but his Xander character in Days of Our Lives kinda had an LGBT story line where one of the gay characters tried to seduce him or convert him. Apparently, it did not work.

Here are more shirtless photos of our imaginary Scottish beau.

And here’s two photos of him as a young man.
