Chad Michael Murray is showing off his hot bod in these first look stills from his upcoming new movie The Merry Gentlemen!
The 43-year-old actor stars in the upcoming Netflix Christmas movie where he takes part in an all-male Christmas-themed revue.
“We got to change things up a little bit and push the envelope,” CMM teased to Tudum. “We take a lot of the tropes that have been created for this particular genre and poke fun at them in such a tasteful way.”
Also starring in the film and featured in the first look photos include Britt Robertson, Marla Sokoloff, Hector David Jr, Colt Prattes and Marc Anthony Samuel.
Chad also opened up about going all in for the dancing.

His character Luke is a “kind, confident, and slightly sarcastic” contractor who helps out Britt‘s Ashley’s family at the Rhythm Room.
“He’s thrust into an unfamiliar situation and is pushed to the limits of comfortability,” Chad shared.
“It was something that I’d never done. I said, ‘Oh, this scares the crap out of me. I’ve got to do this,’” he added about prepping for the role. “I made a bunch of phone calls and said, ‘Let’s get in as much rehearsal time as possible.’ ”
“If you’re going to do it, you got to do it right. You got to go all in. All the guys were awesome,” CMM continued. “There was definitely a bond there. Everybody just helped each other up. And everyone else had a different gift to give to the film.”
In the movie, to save her parents’ small-town performing venue, a former big-city dancer (Robertson) decides to stage an all-male, Christmas-themed revue.
Beth Broderick, Michael Gross and Maxwell Caulfield also star.
The Merry Gentlemen will debut on Netflix on November 20th!
