Calvin Klein don’t just make clothes, they make heartthrobs. The brand is responsible for a number of famous photoshoots throughout the year in which up-and-coming male celebrities have posed in that signature underwear, cementing their status as a sex symbol: Mark Wahlberg in the ’90s, Travis Fimmel in the ’00s, Justin Bieber in the ’10s.
More recently, soccer player Son Heung-min, Euphoria actor Jacob Elordi and movie star Aaron Taylor-Johnson have all bared their sculpted physiques for a CK campaign, prompting all kinds of thirst in the comments. And now Calvin Klein have revealed–quite literally—their newest spokesmodel, just in time for Pride season: actor Brandon Flynn.
“Looking for now?” the CK socials ask, echoing the oft-used opening line from a certain app (IYKYK), adding: “Let it out @brandonflynn.” The caption accompanies a carousel of images in which Flynn, an openly gay actor known for roles in 13 Reasons Why, True Detective and the 2022 Hellraiser reboot, appears in playful, provocative poses and various states of undress, with his defined chest, toned arms and six-pack abs on display.
In one particularly thirsty shot from photographer Karim Sadli, Flynn can be seen packing quite the bulge in his black CK briefs, (eliciting a row of flame emojis in the comments from his former 13 Reasons Why co-star Katherine Langford.
Calvin Klein’s Pride apparel is being sold in partnership with a number of queer organizations, including the Transgender Law Center, PFLAG, and International Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Intersex Association (ILGA), supporting their continued “effort toward LGBTQIA+ advocacy, equity and safety.”
