Now you've chosen your favourite British lads of 2006, we're going to step up a gear with four of our favourite celebrity models to watch in the next twelve months, writes Derek Strobe of GayWired.com. It's our Hot For 07 choice we think you're going to see a whole lot more of in this coming year. .

Sean Faris

Is it any wonder we’re head over heels obsessed with a guy who got his start starring in director David DeCoteau’s very homoerotic The Brotherhood II? Though Sean Faris is something of a Tom Cruise sequel, we won’t hold that against him. Besides, he’s got the pint sized stud by four inches—you can figure out which four.

Sean first saw his star rise when he top-lined the short lived but critically acclaimed coming of age drama life as we know it. That role, as well as guest spots on shows like Boston Public, One Tree Hill and Smallville, launched him into the public eye and made him a staple in teen girl publications too. Hollywood sat up and took notice too, presenting him with a Young Hollywood Star of Tomorrow award in 2004.

Reunion followed, his short lived series that tracked six friends from their high-school graduation through the next twenty years of their lives. Seemingly unscathed after his second botched TV project, Sean segued right into the remake Yours, Mine and Ours, then headed off to the deserts of Utah to train for the upcoming rugby drama, Forever Strong. To prep for the part, Sean supposedly ran six miles, two times a day—and here’s hoping all that work translates into some shirtless shots.

Which brings us to the precise reason Sean wound up on our countdown in the first place—back to back shirtless spreads in US gay magazines Flaunt and Out. Sexy and sophisticated, we sat up and took notice, and another gay crush was born.
