How did you celebrate the holidays? We’re guessing you probably didn’t strip to your underwear and submerge yourself into an icy, cold river.
However, that’s exactly what singer Shawn Mendes did. And to the delight of his fans, the 24-year-old posted video proof to his Instagram.
You can check it out below.

Mendes and a friend strip down to their briefs and then wade into what’s clearly a freezing river. Afterward, Mendes is so numb from the cold that he says he “can’t feel a thing.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Among those to comment was drag queen and eco-activist Pattiegonia, who quipped, “The Christmas gift we all wanted and didn’t know we needed. 🍑🍆”
“Can take the boy outta Canada but can’t take the Canada outta the boy,” said Mendes’ former MagCon costar, Nash Grier.
OneRepublic frontman Ryan Tedder joked, “BLUE BALLS. LITERALLY.”

Mendes’ video comes five months after he canceled his Wonder World Tour, with some 80 shows dropped. He had earlier delayed some shows saying he needed to prioritize his mental health. Announcing the cancellation of the tour, he said, “After speaking more with my team and working with an incredible group of health professionals, it has become more clear that I need to take the time I’ve never taken personally to ground myself and come back stronger.”
Here’s hoping Mendes bounces back in 2023 stronger than ever… with or without the ice baths.
On a safety note, please do not submerge yourself in icy rivers unless you know you’re medically fit to do so and are accompanied by someone to watch over you. Hypothermia can set in within minutes!

I support anyone who prioritizes their mental health. Taking care of yourself is productive! And being fit (as he so obviously is WOW) goes a long way toward resolving depression, anxiety and other mental health issues. Be well.

He’s had beards for the longest time..the gay vibes he gives are strong.maybe he wants to come out but his 80% female base he’s worried of losing..it’s almost 2023. Im.sure they won’t like or love you any less..maybe that’s his issue. He’s trying to figure out.. just guessing..

Gay or straight(I think gay)…he is a beautiful man.

As long as he doesn’t do the contrived non-binary thing.

Flat-as-a-board isn’t my idea of fit. I wouldn’t mind, however, seeing more of the “friend.”

Shawn hasnt had a hit since the duet? with Camilla. I guess nobody believed the pairing.

That’s because he really hasn’t released new material since then. He is on a professional break.
Gigi Gee
He has a net worth of $40 million, and he’s 24. I think he’ll be okay.

I too got duped. This was posted December 2022. Why they’re re-posting it without making it obvious it’s a re-post, I don’t know!
At least the “ICYMI” posts make it clear it’s a re-post. This one doesn’t.

I respect his decision to take care of himself, and then come out because a whole world that really loves you is waiting.

this photo is from a year ago. Considering the number of NOT HOT guys this page keeps posting I understand why they use older photos of a hottie like Shawn.

I’ve done it in the sea. You’re freezing while in the water but very quickly after coming out you feel great.
