Chad Michael Murray on What He Considers ‘Sexy’

Hollywood star Chad Michael Murray has shared his thoughts on what he finds “sexy,” stating that it’s “a state of mind.”

Murray explained to people.com that true sexiness stems from confidence and self-acceptance. “There are many elements that contribute to someone being sexy. It’s about being confident in who you are and feeling comfortable in your own skin, regardless of your appearance,” he said. “Sexy is a state of mind. It’s about feeling good about yourself, knowing you’ve done your best each day, and going to bed without regret.”

Having risen to fame as a teen heartthrob, Murray reflected on his early years in the spotlight. “At that time, I was very self-aware. When you’re young, you worry about every detail, like how your hair looks or how your clothes fit—even if you don’t realize you might be dressing poorly,” he recalled.

He contrasted that phase with his current self, describing himself as a homebody who prefers a blue-collar lifestyle. “From ages 21 to 24, it was a lot to handle, and there’s no guidebook on how to navigate every moment or say no without offending people,” he noted.

Murray emphasized the importance of gratitude in life. “There’s no manual on being grateful. It’s about focusing on what you have rather than what you lack, and everything else will fall into place,” he concluded.
