Zac Efron and Chris Hemsworth will go chest-to-chest for the ‘Best Shirtless Performance’ prize at this year’s MTV Movie Awards.

Efron is nominated for his torso-flashing performance in That Awkward Moment, while Hemsworth’s shirtless work in Thor: The Dark World is recognised.

Leonardo DiCaprio is also nominated for whipping his top off in The Wolf of Wall Street – as is Sam Claflin for baring his chest in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Jennifer Aniston – We’re the Millers
