This couple brings the heat both on-screen and off-screen.
“Tell Me Rise” stars Grace Van Patten and Jackson White (who play a couple on the show and are together in real life) strip for Calvin Klein.
The actors, both 29, appear in the brand’s Valentine’s Day-themed ad titled “Our Calvins,” which was shot and directed by Zora Sischer.
While the campaign is the first of its kind, the brand announced in a statement that it will continue to feature “selected influencer couples expressing their love and encouraging their followers to join and share their stories.”
Shots of Van Patten and White include various levels of undress, from slightly unbuttoned jeans to classic cotton sets, culminating in a shirtless but occluded view of both.
Both model not only Calvin Klein’s tight whitey classics, but also pink-print boxers ($49), sports bras ($34), and thongs ($24) from the brand’s latest Valentine’s Day collection.
In a press release, Van Patten said, “Calvin Klein has always been about confidence, connection, and being comfortable with who you are.”
She added: “This campaign is about lighthearted, intimate moments where you can be yourself, laugh and just have fun.”
Mr. White echoed the sentiment and continued: “There was something very intimate about this experience that was different from other projects…We were able to be completely present with each other and understand how special and simple our connection is.”
Fans of the Hulu show flocked to the brand’s Instagram page. Former “Vanderpump Rules” star Stassi Schroeder commented, “Omg this is insane 🔥,” and many others left a trail of fire emojis.
One fan said, “My jaw dropped to the floor🥵.” “Their chemistry is insane! The fact that they have real-life crazy chemistry makes their characters so good!!” said another.
Van Patten and White met on the set of the series in 2022, playing Lucy and Stephen, a toxic on-and-off couple. The two confirmed their off-screen romance in November of the same year.
The two join an exclusive club of Calvin-approved duos that includes Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kate Moss and Mark Wahlberg.
Other classic CK underwear stars include Brooke Shields, Bad Bunny, and Jeremy Allen White.
