Jeremy Allen White expresses unease towards the spotlight on his underwear campaign
Jeremy Allen White finds unexpected fame as a Calvin Klein model, handling the attention on his underwear campaign with mixed emotions
Jeremy Allen White has recently experienced a string of successful days, thrusting him into the spotlight. Not only did he win a Golden Globe Award for his role as Carmy in "The Bear", but he has also become the new model for Calvin Klein underwear, showcasing his sculpted physique in the brand's spring 2024 campaign.
White faced a barrage of questions about his popular campaign during the Golden Globes red carpet event on Sunday, appearing somewhat uneasy with the overwhelming attention. "It's strange to do a Calvin Klein ad and even stranger to see it released," he confessed to reporters backstage.
During an interview with Extra, the cast of "The Bear," including White, were surprised with a large poster of himself in his Calvins. "What were your initial thoughts when you saw this?" asked Extra's Melvin Robert in the YouTube clip.
"My god," White said in a seemingly shy response.
His costar Ayo Edebiri, who also won for her performance on "The Bear," flipped the poster over and placed it against a nearby wall, out of sight.
"Im putting it away," Edebiri said. "Im putting it away from my boy! Thats my boy! Thats my boy! This is a work function ⦠you know what I mean!?"

The cast and White seemingly agreed Edebiri.
"Were not at, like, an underwear awards, you know what I mean?" cast member Ebon Moss-Bachrach added. "Were here to talk about our show."
White nodded in agreement, adding that he felt "very far away" from the chatter about the ad.
"The Bear" had a big Globes night, too, winning the Globe for best television comedy series.
Edebiri and White also won individual honors in their respective categories.
