If you thought 2026 was going to be a calm year, Hudson Williams would like a word—with his pants already unbuttoned.
The internet is once again in a collective spiral thanks to Williams’ latest photoshoot with Wonderland Magazine, which sees the rising star looking hot, wet, and dangerously aware of his power. This time, the actor strips down into a series of jockstraps—black, red, minimal, and absolutely not for the faint of heart. And just in case anyone thought the jockstrap moment might be too subtle (as if), Williams also blesses us with shots of his jeans undone, his hand teasing its way inside like he’s personally testing our resolve.
Spoiler: we failed.
This isn’t just a thirst trap. It’s a declaration.

The Jockstrap Heard Around the Internet
Let’s start with the obvious: Hudson Williams knows how to work a jockstrap. Actually, scratch that—he knows how to weaponize one.
In the shoot, Williams cycles through classic black and bold red jockstraps, water glistening on his skin, muscles flexed just enough to make it look effortless. There’s a playful confidence here, a “yes, I know you’re looking” energy that feels intentional but never stiff. It’s sexy without trying too hard—which somehow makes it even sexier.
Then come the jeans. Unbuttoned. Low-slung. His hand hovering, then teasingly slipping inside. Not explicit, but suggestive enough that your imagination does the heavy lifting. It’s flirtation through photography, and Williams delivers it like a pro.
Wonderland, But Make It Dangerous
This shoot arrives hot on the heels of Williams’ Wonderland Magazine Spring 2026 cover—and yes, that one.
The issue reportedly sold out within minutes, with demand so intense that Wonderland’s website briefly crashed. Images from the shoot flooded social media almost instantly, spawning fan edits, reaction threads, and a lot of very unproductive afternoons. Fans praised the styling, the confidence, and the undeniable star power, calling it a defining moment in Williams’ breakout year.
In short: Hudson Williams didn’t just appear on a cover—he arrived.

From Heated Rivalry to Internet Obsession
The actor’s rise has been closely tied to the late-2025 debut of the LGBTQ+ sports drama Heated Rivalry, where he plays hockey player Shane Hollander. The show ignited fandom overnight, and with it came intense scrutiny—not just of the series, but of Williams himself and his on-screen chemistry with co-star Connor Storrie.
The fascination with their dynamic became impossible to ignore, something the Heated Rivalry actor addressed head-on in his Wonderland interview. He made it clear that while the collaboration matters, individuality does too.
“Connor and I are aligned,” Williams said. “We want to be different artists. We don’t want to be the Olsen twins. We want to be Connor and Hudson, with different filmographies and different deals.”
He also drew a firm but healthy boundary between fiction and reality, echoing a sentiment fans would do well to remember:
“Shane and Ilya are for the public. Connor and Hudson are for themselves.”
Grounded. Mature. Still incredibly hot in a jockstrap.
Fame, But Make It Sustainable
Despite being everywhere lately—opening Dsquared’s FW 2026 fashion show, appearing at the Golden Globes alongside Storrie, popping up at high-profile events—Williams doesn’t come across as swept away by the hype. He’s described the fame as surreal but grounding, emphasizing longevity, growth, and evolving beyond a single role.
That balance is part of what makes this shoot work. It’s not desperate. It’s not try-hard. It’s a man who knows this is a moment—and is enjoying it without letting it define him entirely.
The Williams Effect
Between the Wonderland takeover and this unapologetically thirsty jockstrap shoot, one thing is clear: Hudson Williams is stepping fully into his power. He’s playful, confident, and clearly having fun with the attention—while still keeping control of his narrative.
The feature cements Williams as one of 2026’s most talked-about rising stars, highlighting not just his partnership-driven breakout, but his individual ascent. He’s no longer just “one half of a duo” or “that guy from Heated Rivalry.” He’s Hudson Williams. Period.
And if that means getting wet in a red jockstrap and unzipping his jeans for the gays? Honestly—thank you for your service.
Now if you’ll excuse us, we need a moment. Or several.
