Who is this man, and why is he all up in Shawn Mendes’ pits?
These are the pressing questions of the hour, as a video clip of the brief encounter gets watched and rewatched around the world.
The who is Swedish television presenter Martin Björk, but the why is anyone’s game.

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.
But the setup is simple enough: “Can I smell your armpit?” asks the silver fox.
“Sure, go for it,” replies an entirely unbothered Mendes.

After taking in two deep, meaningful inhalations, Björk (not that Björk) offers this expert opinion: “F*ck! That was good!”
If we had to guess, we’d say there were notes of chicken broth, wet leather and a hint of pomegranate. But again, just a guess.

Rather be sniffing something else 🙂

While I have to admit I would love to smell Shawn’s armpit, seen in the cold light of day like this it looks quite appetizing.

I meant to write “unappetizing.”

in my opinion, he’s Basic, I’m sorry but I don’t understand the appeal. i heard his songs, and his vocals are not where they should be. But I guess that’s just the current generation of singers these days.
crowebobby
The fact that he’s 6’2″; has a very winning personality; a great body; an even greater smile and can sell out Madison Square Garden in under 5 minutes adds to his appeal, but there’s no disputing taste.
Godabed
He’s not selling out madison square garden’s because adults want to see him for his talent, it’s kids, the teen girl market who want to bang him. Let’s be clear about that, the tweenie bopper thing, it has a lifespan of five years, it’s a fact. Very few acts that aren’t talented last longer than that. They can’t sell records and you never hear from them again. His looks again, he’s basic. Personality.. All the Canadians I’ve ever met had great personalities, doesn’t mean I desire them in any way. And again going back to him as a singer, sorry but the vocal talent is not there. He’s no Charlie Puth, or Bruno Mars, or even a Jason Mraz. I really don’t understand why this straight basic guy is on a Gay themed new site. I’m sure he has an Instagram full of thirst traps for girls and gays alike, but this isn’t the place for him.

100% agree.

You must have some serious mojo working for you if that’s true.

He ain’t gay. Who cares? No WONDER this community has the misery and depression and opiate addiction and suicide rate is does. We constantly are chasing after a demographic that not only isn’t gay, but if it were, is unattainable and yet we expect to find that anyway – just look at the profiles on Grindr or other apps! Our expectations are so unrealistic that it’s amazing we ever meet anyone at all.
nitejonboy
I’m sorry but this story is disgusting. Who cares who is sniffing who on tv. Show some real news about real people, not this gross crap.

Queerty covers all kinds of topics, from the serious to the silly. We also have it set up so that you click the articles you want to read, so if pit-smelling isn’t your thing, you have the right to JKS – just keep scrolling.

It’s a bit undignified on the part of the host and kinda weird. I realize Mendes is a hot guy and all but we can still conduct ourselves with a little decorum–at least on TV if not elsewhere.
