Eye Candy: What's Not To Love About Shemar Moore?

By · Updated October 28, 2020
01
793413
02
The Globetrotter

Born to an African American father and Dutch mother, Shemar was born in Oakland, California but spent time in Denmark and Bahrain as a child. His first language was Danish.

03
Walk the Walk

While attending college on a partial baseball scholarship Shemar took up modeling to earn the extra tuition cash. Clearly the actor still has the moves.

04
Put On A Happy Face

Just one look at Shemar’s winning smile is enough to put one on our faces.

05
Family Man

Shemar loves his motorcycle, but his bicycle is closest to his heart. His mom suffers from multiple sclerosis and each year he and his ‘Criminal Minds’ cast mates participate in the Bike MS cycling series to raise money for the cause.

06
Man Of The Law

Shemar steams up our TV screens each week donning his FBI uniform as agent Derek Morgan on CBS’ hit show ‘Criminal Minds’.

07
Built To Last

We first fell for Shemar as Malcolm on the daytime soap The Young and The Restless. A favorite with female fans the role launched his acting career and his character lasted eight years on the show.

08
All Around Guy

As much as ladies love getting a glance at a shirtless Shemar, he’s proven time and time again he’s a stunner even when he’s fully clothed.

09
The Ladies Man

Shemar does sexy sophistication well, so it’s no surprise he’s dated leading ladies like Halle Berry and Toni Braxton in the past.

10
Work It

Shemar has always said how much he appreciates that women love his sex appeal. To maintain abs like this at 41 the actor has always made a habit of hitting the gym at least 10 hours a week.

11
Oh Yeah!

Recently spotted sporting gorgeous abs beachside in Miami, Shemar is known to bare all his goodness for the paparazzi cameras.

12
Keeping A Level Head

Shemar may be dripping with gorgeousness but he’s kept his head out of the clouds.
“I’m very flattered,” he once said. "My looks may or may not have helped me get in the door of Hollywood. But my looks have not kept me in Hollywood. I couldn’t do it with just looks. I know that I work hard.”

13
Smooth Operator

One of Shemar’s ultimate career aspirations is to play Harry Belafonte in a movie about his life.

14
A Shining Star

Let’s admit it, ladies, we all own a copy of ‘The Brothers’ so we can get a regular dose of Shemar’s scene stealing eight pack.

15
Endless Appeal

Always a favorite among female fans, Shemar has made People’s Sexiest Man Alive list many times.

16
Waiting For Love

Last year on the Ellen Degeneres Show Shemar stopped by to reveal that he was nervous about turning 40 and single looking for love. Shemar, with killer looks like these, we’re guessing the ladies are lining up.

17
Love Trance

Even hidden behind glasses there’s no denying that Shemar has one of the sexiest pair of peepers we’ve ever seen. We’re forever hypnotized.

18
Around The Way Guy

Shemar has always said he’s more at home hanging with his friends and family then walking the red carpet.
