Shawn Mendes Tries To Take A Shirtless Thirst Trap Photo—And Ends Up Slipping Down A Hill

Singer/songwriter Shawn Mendes is adored by his fans–and it's not entirely for his singing voice and songwriting prowess.

The "It'll Be Okay" singer also happens to rock an impressive physique, which he happily flaunts in many of his shirtless Instagram posts and for his Calvin Klein underwear photoshoots.

He even showed up shirtless (with an open blazer) at the 2021 Met Gala.

But the 23-year-old Canadian humbly demonstrated that, in spite of his chiseled bod, he is far from perfect.

Well, at least not when it comes to his hiking skills.

On January 22, Mendes posted a photo of him at the popular hiking spot of Runyon Canyon near the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, sans shirt, naturally.

The breathtaking view of the city behind him perfectly captured the essence of the idyllic, sunny SoCal life as the musician's pronounced pecs and six-pack glistened under the LA sun.

But he cryptically wrote, "i guess that’s what i get."

You would have to scroll over to see exactly what he meant.

The following video showed the rocker Adonis flexing his back and biceps while descending a small incline.

He subsequently stumbled and slid on his butt.

It wasn't a bad fall, and he appeared to be okay.

He even poked fun at himself by using John Mayer's "Gravity" as a soundtrack for his short clip.

In spite of the embarrassing lack of nimbleness in his moment of self-assuredness, it was hardly a turn-off for adoring fans.

They showed they are always there to catch their favorite idol when he falls.

Who knew being clumsy would add more charm to his character? Of course, he's probably the only one who could pull it off.

And the fact that someone with his star power is able to remain humble and call himself out makes him that much more relatable.

Rock on, Shawn.
