While Jeremy Allen White admits he never imagined himself being a Calvin Klein model, the opportunity came at the perfect time after intense physical preparation for his lead role as Kerry Von Erich in the upcoming film The Iron Claw. He told GQ,
“I was used to running around in front of large groups of people in my underwear because of [The Iron Claw].”
