Best Shirtless Performance: A Channing Tatum GIF Retrospective

With the 2013 MTV Movie Awards less than a week away, we need to have a serious discussion. Perhaps you know where we're going with this? Three words: Best Shirtless Performance. It's one of two brand-new categories debuting at this year's ceremony (thanks for finally addressing our letters, emails, tweets and Edible Arrangements, producers) and, well, it's a pretty big deal for us.

There are five men of (mostly) high caliber up for the Golden Popcorn: Channing Tatum ("Magic Mike"), Christian Bale ("The Dark Knight Rises"), Daniel Craig ("Skyfall"), Seth MacFarlane ("Ted") and Taylor Lautner ("The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2"). And while only the performances listed here should be considered while voting, we figured it couldn't hurt to take a trip down mammary memory lane to revisit the many arresting shirtless performances proffered by each through the years.

So without further ado, let's begin with...

Channing Tatum: A Shirtless GIF Retrospective

Channing Tatum is one of our most versatile shirtless actors. He can do anything bare chested. Allow him to demonstrate:

Channing can towel off his hallmates while shirtless.

Channing can look dubious while shirtless.

Channing can make waves while shirtless.

Channing can pick up the ladies while shirtless.

Channing can be the cat's pajamas while shirtless.

Channing can handle heavy machinery while shirtless.

Channing can hit the sheets while shirtless.

And, of course, Channing can dance...

...and dance...

and DANCE... while shirtless.
