Phillippe recently shared a shirtless thirst trap, proving he apparently doesn’t age.
While the movie dated back to 1999, Cruel Intentions remains one of the most iconic performances by Ryan Phillippe. The movie was the beginning of his relationship with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, and he notably bore it all when showing his butt on camera.
