Djimon Hounsou in his Calvins...

I love that we live in a world where a two-time Academy Award nominee is willing to take his clothes off for an underwear ad. Djimon Hounsou, who should have won the Oscar this year for "Blood Diamond," is appearing in a new campaign for Calivin Klein Steel underwear. Towleroad.com posted these images this morning along with a comment the hunky and mega-talented Hounsou, made to the NY Post. He said he "worked out for months to get ripped for the role. I regularly watch how much, when and what I eat. It really becomes a daily journey. You just have to do it - get up, eat something, go to the gym - so you can burn as much as you can and look lean. It’s pretty challenging."

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
