10 Insta-Reasons We Love Rising Actor Mason Gooding

Mason Gooding caught queer television fans' attention when he played hot-shot basketball star Andrew on the LGBTQ+ hit "Love, Victor." Gooding's portrayal of an arrogant-but-kind-hearted jock fit with his body type, but it juxtaposed his real-life personality.

The son of Cuba Gooding Jr., Gooding shares many interesting hobbies and fascinating thoughts with his fans on Instagram. He most recently expanded his range to perform in the two most recent "Scream" films, "Scream" and "Scream VI." From vacations in exotic places to alone time with his adorable dog, these are some of the sexiest social media posts Mason Gooding offers the public!

We mentioned that Gooding loves his dog, and here's the evidence. This post is one of many in which the actor enjoys taking cheeky pictures with his little black pup. The caption presumably references the manga "Stardust Crusaders," as Gooding is a big fan of cartoons, manga, anime, and other Japanese artwork.

Gooding is one of the fittest men in Hollywood now. With chiseled muscles and broad shoulders, Gooding looks like a superhero on most days. He embraces his glow-up by posting a photo from his childhood when he was just the same goofy, fun-loving kid that everyone else was. The photo should inspire teenagers and youth who think they can't develop the same fitness levels as Gooding and other actors.

Gooding appears to have enjoyed his New Year on the beach. Gooding shows off the beautiful scene and several shirtless photos, along with a montage of him throwing rocks in the water and smiling with a flower necklace around his face. We hope that he had a wonderful introduction to 2024!

Gooding parties with some friends in late November 2023, perhaps at a birthday party as he turned 27 that month. Gooding looks sexy in his white tank top, but some fans encouraged him to quit smoking in the comments section. The actor looks like he had a great time.

One of Gooding's most popular thirst photos on the internet is this one of him lying on his back, a view of his anime tattoos in full sight. A grasshopper on his knee later in the slideshow could be a reference to any number of his interests, but Gooding doesn't put a caption on the set of photos so we don't know for certain what any of these pictures mean.
