Jeremy Pope Strips Down for Calvin Klein's PRIDE Campaign!

We need to send flowers to whoever is in charge over at Calvin Klein. Remember their underwear campaign with hottie Jeremy Allen White? We saw bulges and outlines aplenty! Well, now they continue to make the gays happy with their new Pride merchandise featuring openly gay actor and stud Jeremy Pope. We know this king has muscles, and now we see them in all their glory. What a way to kick off Pride Month!

In addition to giving us some great eye candy and gay representation this Pride season, Calvin Klein is also partnering up with ILGA World and Transgender Law Center to support their efforts in LGBTQ+ equality and safety. Established in 1978, ILGA (Intl Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans and Intersex Association) is a global federation made up of over 1900 organizations committed to our community's rights. The Trans Law Center's (TLC) mission is to keep trans & gender-nonconforming people alive, thriving, & fighting for liberation.

Calvin Klein has unveiled a series of new products to celebrate love in all of its forms, they've made a pretty sexy and inclusive video for it too. We admit to pausing the video a few times to enjoy the sights.

Jeremy's campaign went up on one of New York's most famous billboards, a billboard he used to see every day leaving his retail shift while working at Hollisters and pursuing his musical theatre career. He told GQ that his father, who was a professional bodybuilder, helped him with a meal plan to get super fit for the campaign. Regarding how it feels to be the head of the Pride campaign, he told GQ: “It's one thing to play a character and to be without clothes, but to be yourself without clothes? That feels vulnerable in a different way. We're here to celebrate Pride and love, so I wanted to step into that space not playing a part. I wanted to truly feel confident, sexy, bold, and daring. I think for me and my career, a lot of these moments that happen—being a Black queer individual—they end up becoming markers for me to really see how far I've come.”

Jeremy has had quite the career in regards to how young he is. He hit onscreen recognition when he received an Emmy nomination for his super hot turn in Ryan Murphy's Hollywood. He also received a Golden Globe nomination for his part in the film The Inspection. On stage, he became the sixth person in Tony Award history to be nominated in two categories for separate performances during the same year when he received a Best Actor in a Play nod for Choir Boy and a Best Actor Featured Role for Ain't Too Proud. He also received a Grammy nomination for the album of Ain't Too Proud.

He has always been very open and vocal about his part of the LGBTQ community and he is a perfect choice to don those Calvin Klein undies and celebrate Pride.

Happy Pride Month!
