In a recent breakthrough move, Jeremy Allen White, famed for his roles in ‘The Bear’ and A24’s ‘The Iron Claw,’ has emerged as the face of Calvin Klein’s latest underwear ad campaign. Captured by renowned photographer Mert Alas, the campaign showcases the actor shirtless on a sun-drenched rooftop in his hometown of New York, highlighting Calvin Klein’s iconic underwear collection.
Amidst growing curiosity about his relationship status, Jeremy Allen White, a Chicago native, has been making waves in both on-screen projects and the public eye. The campaign imagery portrays White in a timeless white tank top, drawing parallels to legendary figures such as Marlon Brando and Paul Newman. This minimalist style serves as a testament to his rising status as a charismatic heartthrob.
Taking to social media, Entertainment Tonight shared a sneak peek of the campaign, where White expressed his astonishment at being part of a Calvin Klein campaign, remarking, “Who grows up thinking, ‘Yeah, I’ll be in a Calvin Klein campaign?'” His inclusion in the campaign aligns him with the likes of previous Calvin Klein ambassadors, including Michael B. Jordan, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Jamie Dornan, BTS’ Jung Kook, and Jacob Elordi, cementing his place as a symbol of desirable masculinity.
Known for his diverse portrayals of masculinity on screen, White, who plays a tortured chef in ‘The Bear’ and is gearing up for his role in the Von Erich wrestling brothers biopic ‘The Iron Claw,’ recently made headlines for ditching his wedding ring amid dating rumors with Selena Gomez. The campaign video accompanying the Calvin Klein showcase provides a glimpse into White’s narrative, featuring a slow-motion jog, a tasteful striptease down to briefs, and an effortless pull-up against the iconic backdrop of New York’s skyline, emphasizing his deep connection to the city.
