Sex And The City's iconic opening titles are all about Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw, but in certain fan circles, it was actually a random background extra who caused the biggest stir.

Right at the end of this sequence, there's an extra stood behind Carrie who absolutely owns the entire shot with his confident strut, ripped physique, bizarre see-through top, and pants that are brighter than the sun.

Though he was only onscreen for a few seconds, this good-looking chap developed quite a fan following, for obvious reasons. Look at the top comments on any popular YouTube upload of this scene, and you're bound to find people commenting on his eye-catching look, while also lamenting the fact that we'll never know who he is.

Whether he chose his own costume or whether it was given to him on the day, See-Through Shirt Guy managed to pull focus away from one of the biggest TV stars in history. Impressive feat!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
