2024 Rewind: Jeremy Allen White Strips Down for Calvin Klein

Needless to say, the internet has been abuzz about all things Jeremy Allen White since the photos dropped. "Sorry to Timothée Chalamet, but these images have earned more attention in three hours than 'Wonka' has garnered in a few weeks," joked The Daily Beast.

Others were keen to point out that given the hunk's initials – JAW – his stans ought to be called "jawbreakers," which is exactly the kind of double entendre we can get behind.

In an exclusive interview with GQ, the 32-year-old sex symbol opened up about being Calvin Klein's latest underwear model.

Despite having just starred in "The Iron Claw," a wrestling film that White bulked up for (and got plenty used to running around in underwear), White was still pretty nervous to step into the iconic white briefs. "In my head, I was just like, 'I can't see myself on a billboard, I shouldn't be here,'" he told GQ. "Just real imposter syndrome."

To prep his body for the shoot, White ran, jumped rope, did calisthenics, and – of course – ate incredibly well, including lots of fish. But a week before the shoot, he came down with something of a chest cold and resorted to a seemingly endless number of pushups the night before the shoot.

And yes, the eleventh-hour work has definitely paid off. Click through to check out the smoking hot new campaign:
