Pop sensation Benson Boone is setting social media ablaze once again, this time with a shirtless gym photo that has fans calling him a “Greek god.”
The 23-year-old “Beautiful Things” singer shared a carousel of photos from Glasgow on Oct. 29, where he’s currently performing as part of his American Heart World Tour. Among the travel snaps, one image stood out: a mirror selfie from the gym showing Boone’s sculpted eight-pack abs and toned legs, taken alongside his friend and fellow musician Dawson Wills.
Fans quickly flooded the comments section with praise for Boone’s physique. “Cutie and also Greek god,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Those abs and legs belong in the Louvre.” Others were simply in awe, with one comment reading, “Benson I didn’t know you were built like that 🔥🔥🔥.”

Despite the viral attention, Boone has been open about his complex relationship with body image. In a Rolling Stone interview earlier this year, he reflected on how performing shirtless became a habit early in his career, one that he later reassessed.
“I definitely remember there was a time where I would take my shirt off because I didn’t know what else to do,” he said. “After doing a lot of shows, you start to pick up on what people like and don’t like. There is an art to making anybody go crazy.”
Still, Boone said he doesn’t want fans to view his shows as a spectacle centered on his appearance. “I don’t want to rely on my physical form to be the primary driver of my shows,” he explained. “Obviously, I enjoy working out, but I can’t be the sex icon of the century — that’s just not who I am.”
