Ah, the weekend. That sweet, glorious escape from the daily grind where we finally get to live our best lives—and by “best lives,” we mean scrolling through Instagram while dreaming of someone hot enough to warm us up. Lucky for us, we’ve got two Phillips (or Phillippes, or Phillipses—seriously, who’s keeping track?) ready to keep us company. But here’s the question: Do you want the fresh new heat of Zane Phillips or the classic charm of Ryan Phillippe? It’s a dilemma only the gods of eye candy could solve, but don’t worry—we’re here to help you decide.

Zane Phillips: The Hot New Thing You’ve Been Waiting For
Let’s talk about Zane Phillips, shall we? When this man drops a photoshoot, the internet doesn’t just react—it melts. Photographed by Dylan Perlot for TAX Magazine, his latest set of photos has turned social media into a collective thirst fest—and honestly, it’s no surprise. Zane’s got that perfect balance of ‘I’m the new star you want to keep an eye on’ and ‘Oh, did I just make you reconsider your entire life?’ He’s a man of many talents—yes, we’re talking about Fire Island and Mid-Century Modern—but it’s these sizzling photos that have us all collectively clutching our pearls and wondering if we should re-evaluate our weekend plans. (Spoiler alert: You should.)
Sure, Zane’s built like a Greek god with abs that should be illegal, but what really seals the deal is his effortlessly cool vibe. He doesn’t just flex in front of the camera—he owns it. These pictures aren’t just about showing off his killer body—they’re a masterclass in sexy confidence, with a little vulnerability thrown in just to make us all swoon. And let’s be real: the only thing more dangerous than his physique is the way he looks into the lens like he’s staring directly into your soul. Prepare yourself to daydream about those arms for the next 72 hours.
Take a look at those shots where Zane’s rocking a muscle tank and giving you a knowing stare that says, “Yeah, I know what I’m doing to you.” And those jeans? Tight enough to make you wonder if you should be in the gym… or just laying down to recover from the visual overload.
Ryan Phillippe: Still The Heartthrob Who Made You Question Your Sexuality
Now, let’s not forget about the OG heartthrob: Ryan Phillippe. If you were a gay teen in the late ’90s and early 2000s, this man was everything. From Cruel Intentions to I Know What You Did Last Summer, Ryan was the blueprint for every poster-worthy crush. And while he could’ve hung up his abs years ago, he’s still got it, proving that some things—like fine wine and heartthrobs—only get better with age.
And speaking of abs, did you see that recent shirtless selfie? Yes, please. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery, Ryan posted a pic that immediately transported us back to a time when we all had a secret crush on him—and let’s just say, he hasn’t lost a step. That casually confident pose? Still radiates that “I know I’m hot, and so do you” energy. And those abs? Can we get a moment of silence? They’re clearly sculpted by the gods of fitness—and probably a few too many late-night workouts and wine bottles. But hey, we’re not complaining.
It’s impossible not to look at that pic and not think, “How does he still manage to make me feel like a teenager again?” Ryan has that ageless charm that seems to defy the clock—and not in a creepy way. It’s the kind of classic heartthrob energy that will never go out of style.
The Phillips/Phillippe Weekend Dilemma
So here’s the real problem: How do you choose between these two? On one side, we’ve got Zane—the fresh new face with a body that might just break the internet—and on the other, Ryan, the seasoned heartthrob who still makes us weak in the knees.
Zane’s recent photoshoot is like a cold drink of water in the middle of summer—modern, fresh, and hot enough to make you sweat (in a good way). Meanwhile, Ryan is like that comfort food you never knew you needed but always hits the spot—warm, familiar, and forever sexy in that “I still got it” way. It’s the ultimate battle of the new school vs. the old school—and honestly, you could go either way and still be in for a smokin’ weekend.
If you’re all about the modern vibe, Zane’s got you covered. He’s fresh, he’s bold, and he’ll probably make you rethink your entire taste in men. But if you’re craving that ‘90s nostalgia, Ryan will give you that classic heartthrob magic that never goes out of style. Either way, you can’t go wrong.
So go ahead, pick your Phillips, grab a blanket, and get ready for a hot weekend.
