In the late 2000s and the early 2010s, at the end of each year Socialite Life published a number of year-end-roundups and one of the most popular roundups was our Shirtless Celebrity Photo Roundup.
In 2008 we posted our first such roundup of photos from that year and from all the way back to 2000.
So we thought it would be fun to revisit some of those galleries and reminisce about who had the hottest six pack.
Back in 2008 and the early 2000s, some of the celebrities that we featured were David Beckham, Hugh Jackman, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nick Zano, Antonio Sabato Jr, Ryan Phillippe, and more!

Socialite Life debuted back in 2003. As a tribute to the thousands of articles and photos that we’ve published over the years, we have reached back into our vault to bring you this SL Flashback.
These flashbacks showcase some of our favorite posts and galleries. This gallery was originally published on January 15, 2008.
Pour yourself a tall cool glass of water and then peruse the 2008 Shirtless Celebrity Photo Roundup above for some hotness.
