It seems that Chad Michael Murray is more busy dropping his shirt, rather than considering his return in the rest of the series The Scott Brothers. Because in just a few weeks, the American bad boy will be starring in Netflix’s next Christmas film. And the least we can say is that he will be (very) sparsely dressed.

Indeed, People has just revealed a first preview of the feature film The Merry Gentlemen by Peter Sullivan, which will be released on the platform on November 20, 2024. And the scenario is surprising, because unlike an average Christmas film, this one will not really seem suitable for the whole family.
Here is the surprising synopsis: to save her parents’ performance hall in a provincial village, Ashley (played by actress Britt Robertson), an ex-dancer accustomed to big cities, decides to organize an all-male Christmas show . And who says 100% male dance, says… undressed artists.
La transformation de Chad Michael Murray
A role which should revive the fantasies of millions of viewers, but which was not easy for the actor to take on. On the contrary, to appear credible in the skin of this character, capable of dancing, but also with a dream physique, Chad Michael Murray, now 43 years old, had to work hard. In the columns of Peoplehe notably confided: “As we get older, It’s not as easy as when we were 20so it was a lot of work, dedication and focus. We did six hour days in the dance hall“.
Rest assured, the challenge seems to have been met with flying colors, as revealed in the exclusive images shared by the media People. We discover a Chad Michael Murray at ease in the skin of this stripper: he appears shirtless, bowler or cowboy hat on his head, dancing alongside other artists. Enough to (almost) ridicule Channing Tatum’s Magic Mike trilogy.
One thing is certain, this Christmas film promises to be unusual, as confided by Marla Sokoloff, the screenwriter of The Merry Gentlemen: “It’s a different take on Christmas movies. Personally, I love Christmas movies, but this one has a different, fun vibe and there’s something for everyone.” Surprise, then!
