Idris Elba is finally a Calvin Klein model, and we couldn’t be happier.
Well, we could was happier to be a Calvin Klein underwear model, but Luther star looks quite dashing fully clothed as the star of the second installment of the brand’s Spring 2024 campaign, which launches today.
Dressed in iconic CK sportswear, Elba strikes a number of sexy poses for his first photo shoot with the brand.

The British actor, who was photographed by Mert Alas, also shot a behind-the-scenes video of his photo shoot, which Calvin Klein shared exclusively with PEOPLE. In the video, Elba smiles and smoulders as she poses in some of the brand’s new menswear styles, including a classic raincoat, bomber jacket and stylish denim.
We’d be lying if we said we didn’t want to be on set as Elba, 51, unzipped his coat and strutted down the street in his perfectly fitted jeans. You have to admit it is Suicide Squad the star absolutely knows what he’s doing in front of the camera!

Calvin Klein recently played Bear star Jeremy Allen White to strip down to his robe to model on a New York rooftop. Also captured by Alas, the photo saw White in just his underwear (okay, sometimes he wore a shirt and jeans), rolling around on the couch and munching on an apple. It was, to say the least, effortlessly sexy.
As much as we love White in just his underwear, the actor told PEOPLE that he actually loved wearing the brand’s plain white t-shirts. The Emmy winner said the simple shirts were “beautiful.”

“I think it’s just a fit,” he told PEOPLE exclusively. “There’s also its texture and comfort. For me, it’s the hem at the waist. I like it closer to the waist. Like this gorgeous white Calvin Klein t-shirt, the sleeves should only wrap around the shoulders. That’s what makes a nice white shirt.”
