If you haven’t tuned into One Tree Hill recently, James Lafferty is bringing back memories of your crush on Nathan Scott with some sizzling shirtless photos.
Alright, technically Lafferty is participating in a basketball-themed photo shoot for American Eagle and also promoting AE’s 24/7 Activewear Collection. However, these photos are definitely reminding us of his time as basketball sensation Nathan Scott on the CW drama from 2003 to 2012.
The 38-year-old shared a post on Instagram on Saturday, May 18, captioned with, "It's the oldest story in the world … Returning to the court in AE 24/7. @americaneagle #AEPartner."
His abs immediately grabbed the attention of his former costars, with Sophia Bush (who portrayed Brooke Davis) commenting, "Bro you gotta warn the internet when you drop something like this!?"
Hilarie Burton Morgan, who played Peyton Sawyer on the show, reacted with humor, saying, "What in the thirst trap is this?!?!?! James!!!!!!! Good Lord. Put a warning on stuff like this."
Bryan Greenberg, known as Jake Jagielski to One Tree Hill fans, playfully commented at first, saying, "Damn kid!" When his wife, Jamie Chung, joked about buying all the items for him, Greenberg responded with a laugh, saying, "@jamiejchung unfollow him immediately."
His friend Stephen Colletti, who portrayed Chase Adams, exclaimed, "Beast!" Robert Buckley, known for his role as Clay Evans, joined in with, "Get it, stud."
