Jeremy Allen White’s naked torso is hard to miss in the U.S. right now courtesy of Calvin Klein’s latest ad campaign, which features the star of the chef drama “The Bear” in his underwear and not much else. But the brand’s proclivity for bare-all advertising has landed it in hot water across the pond.

The U.K.’s Advertising Standards Authority on Wednesday said it had upheld two complaints that a 2023 ad featuring FKA Twigs had irresponsibly objectified the singer. The regulator also deemed that the ad was overtly sexual and not suitable to be displayed as a poster that could be seen by children and anyone it might offend.
