On Thursday morning, we all woke up to see two phrases trending. “Jeremy Allen White” and “Calvin Klein” were at the top of my search bar on X (formerly known as Twitter), meaning only one thing could be possible: A hot, possibly lewd set of photos of The Iron Claw star had dropped in the wee hours of the morning, our first foxy favor of 2024.
What we imagined when we first saw those words was true. White, indeed, released a Calvin Klein campaign. A handful of pictures graced the internet, but even more importantly, The Bear actor unleashed a video for the campaign. A video! Let’s dive in.
We see Mr. Shameless gallivanting through some city—Chicago would probably be the most fit, given the show he’s Emmy-nominated for, but a caption on the video informs us that he’s in New York City—running, sweating, and stripping as he flaunts the underwear for the camera. He does a pull up. He stares us down, as if we were Ayo Edebiri stumbling through the kitchen and he was waiting on an entree for Table 7. He flexes like a Greek god. It’s all very jarring!
