Jeremy Allen White stripped down to nothing but his Calvins — again.
The Emmy Award-winning star of The Bear, who went viral thanks to Calvin Klein (and a chiseled physique) when White and the brand’s first campaign launched in January, has teamed with the fashion house for another go-round. Launching Aug. 27, the fall 2024 campaign was shot by acclaimed fashion photographer Mert Alas, who lensed the last one, too.
Instead of posting up around White’s familiar stomping grounds in his native Brooklyn, Calvin Klein headed west and brought the team to L.A. where the actor was photographed at a picturesque estate in the hills above the city. The campaign shows White dressed in the latest Calvin Klein denim and underwear. “Calvin Klein’s aesthetic has always been timeless, and it was great to be back with them and the entire creative team for this new campaign,” White said in a statement.

When White got the modeling gig, he joined a roster of Calvin Klein talent that includes actors like Michael B. Jordan, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Brandon Flynn along with notable names like Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Jennie Kim from Blackpink, FKA Twigs, Carlos Alcaraz, Troye Sivan, Jung Kook and others.
White, well known for a long-running role on Shameless before his award-winning turn as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto on the hit FX series The Bear, also starred on the big screen in The Iron Claw opposite Zac Efron, Harris Dickinson and Stanley Simons. He is prepping to play legendary rocker Bruce Springsteen for writer-director Scott Cooper and 20th Century and Disney.
The Hollywood Reporter has obtained a few exclusive behind-the-scenes images of White, seen below.
“They’ve done such a beautiful job with these campaigns for so long,” the actor told GQ about joining the Calvin Klein family when the first campaign launched. “They always get really interesting people.”

Of his preparation for the first campaign, the veteran actor told GQ, “I was used to running around in front of large groups of people in my underwear because of [The Iron Claw], so maybe there was some mental and emotional prep from that job.” In this image, White wears a nylon bomber jacket and ’90s straight jeans.

“I didn’t see this in my future necessarily. Who grows up thinking, Yeah, I’ll be in a Calvin Klein campaign?” he told GQ when he first got the gig. Wonder how he feels now that he’s onto his second campaign?
