Charlie Puth, you’ve done it again!
Just when we think the pop star can’t get any thirstier, he goes ahead and posts another nearly nude pic on Twitter. At this point, he’s dropped more thirst trap than he has singles (not that we’re complaining)—and that’s saying something, considering he’s a pretty prolific songwriter.
The latest came early this morning, waking the internet right up with a provocative mirror shot that just might be his most revealing yet. Have a look for yourself—and be sure to click on the image for the full picture:

Now, it’s not that we’ve never seen Puth in his undies before; no, the “Light Switch” musician’s given us plenty of that.
It’s that he’s giving fans a rather intimate look at his bathroom counter! Typically the most private of places, Puth has no qualms providing a peek at the toiletries strewn about his sink: Some meds, some lotions and creams—it’s all hanging out, for anyone to see.

The man has nothing to hide. Or just forgot he had the option to crop.
Clearly a student of the “just post your thirst trap and go” method, Puth shared the photo on Twitter sans context, which certainly grabbed our… attention. Not a caption in sight!
But the unspoken context here is that this comes just days after his new single, “Smells Like Me,” and he sure knows how to use social media to promote his music.

“Smells Like Me” is an early cut from Puth’s impending third studio album, the self-titled Charlie, which Queerty‘s own Charlie Grey called a “perfectly fun sadboy bop.”
And while we anxiously await an accompanying music video for the track—likely more flirty visuals to send his fans into a tizzy—we’ll just have to hit play on the song as we stare (respectfully) at today’s photo.
As ever, Gay Twitter™ is all worked up about Puth’s shameless selfie and is all up in his mentions. Here are just a few of our favorite takes:
Add me to your Circle, Charlie

A snack? Really? One thing is clear. This photo is sad and ugly.

I don’t get it. Despite his talent and success as a songwriter, singer and producer he is neither hunk nor beauty. Just kinda/sorta cute. And he is straight. AND that array of cosmetic products by his sink would be an embarrassment to me.
So why would “gay Twitter” be all aroused?

This boy has pop in his bones. He just seems to “get” pop music – and effortlessly exudes it like nobody’s business. I add him to all my playlists. Charlie is the Millennial Billy Joel.

OK, Charile looks good. But a New York Times critic prefered the KidzBop version of “One Call Away,” calling Charlie’s “insipid.”

I can’t wait until I never hear the phrase “thirst trap” ever again. Cringe.

Thank you. I never see it or hear it anywhere except on Queerty.
Apolodorus
I don’t get the obsession. Seriously.

Despite his phenomenal talent, Charlie is a gay-baiting, beyond aging wannabe Twink, thirst-trap seeking Hot Mess!

He’s kind, talented, many of us find him very sexy, an everyman good-looking. To each their own. I don’t believe in gay-baiting. It’s such a bs concept. Either gays like an artist or don’t. Even if an artist goes out of their way to appeal to LGBTQ+ community, the fact they even market to us is a good thing.

Compared to his beauty product display, mine (hilariously) looks like the beauty department at Bergdorf’s (smile). Yes, sadly, I am one of those “high-maintenance” gays…lol
