The Bear star has gone, well, bare. Almost. In a scorching debut, Emmy-nominated actor Jeremy Allen White sets the stage ablaze as he graces Calvin Klein’s latest underwear ad campaign.
Captured by iconic photographer Mert Alas, the campaign captures the essence of both Brooklyn-native White and the iconic brand’s hometown, New York.
The imagery features White in various states of undress on a sun-soaked rooftop, sporting Calvin Klein’s “most emblematic” underwear. Whether shirtless or pantless, the actor exudes confidence and charisma, paying homage to the classic style of Hollywood heartthrobs like Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, and Rock Hudson.
The campaign’s simplicity, with White often wearing a classic white tank top, serves as a litmus test for his appeal as a heartthrob. White effortlessly pulls off the timeless look, establishing himself as a symbol of desirable masculinity, a path trodden by previous Calvin Klein ambassadors such as Michael B. Jordan, Aaron Taylor Johnson, and BTS’ Jung Kook. Take a look below:
And there is ooh that we spoke of:
REELated:
In an interview with GQ, White expressed his humility about being part of the Calvin Klein campaign, stating, “Who grows up thinking, ‘Yeah, I’ll be in a Calvin Klein campaign?’” Despite his modesty, White embraces the role and follows a tradition of Calvin Klein models who embody both typical and exceptional masculinity.
Known for his portrayal of characters grappling with masculinity in projects like Shameless and The Bear, White’s upcoming role in A24’s The Iron Claw involves an intense physical transformation for his portrayal of one of the Von Erich wrestling brothers. The Calvin Klein campaign captures White’s connection to New York, adding to the allure of his multifaceted career.
As the actor ascends in his career, the Calvin Klein campaign serves as a bold statement, solidifying Jeremy Allen White’s place in the realm of style and desirability.
