The brand described Jeremy as a “sun-drenched daydream” in an X post. In the photo shoot, Jeremy was depicted lounging in only a pair of grey Calvin Klein underwear on a chair covered by a white sheet and also emerging from a pool soaked in water.

Directed by Mert Alas, the shoot took place in New York City rather than L.A. The resulting ad, which showcased Jeremy stripping down to white underwear for a few pull-ups, received widespread attention on social media and sparked extensive buzz.

In a new interview, Jeremy shared that he received numerous messages about the ad, and reflected on the public’s reaction. Jeremy also compared the recent L.A.-based photo shoot to the previous New York one, noting the beautiful Beverly Hills location chosen by Calvin Klein.

He described the experience as welcoming and wonderful, especially after finishing filming for “The Bear” in Chicago amidst cold weather, then jumping into a pool in a fancy home in California.
