Djimon Hounsou - Calvin Klein Ads

Wed, 18 July 2007 at 3:59 pm

Blood Diamond actor Djimon Hounsou is featured in the new ads for Calvin Klein Underwear, which were shot by photographer Peter Lindbergh in the Palm Springs desert.

This is first time the brand, launched in 1982, has used an African model in its ad. The CKU ads are also a throwback to the original Calvin Klein Underwear campaign, shot by photographer Bruce Weber back in the 1980s.

“I regularly watch how much, when and what I eat,” Djimon told the NY Post. “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.”

Djimon, 43, has recently been seeing the dynamo director of Baby Phat fashions Kimora Lee Simmons.

Maria…woman take a seat…this man has been mine for the begining of time. He is mine…okay

Take it for a fellow New Yorker.

Djmon is finer in person and so soft spoken.

To all of you who don’t see the beauty of this man..please…please..please..have you eyes check. Beauty is not meant for a classical look only. There are different forms of beauty and this man is beautiful.

This BLACK MAN IS MINE, MINE, MINE!!!! I knew about him years ago when he was modelling for French mags, and fell in love with him immediately. Gladiator came along and he got noticed big time. So, if anyone out there is trying to make a play for MY BLACK MAN, FORGET IT!!!!!! This New Yorker claimed him a long time ago!! LOL

Those lips, those eyes, those legs, that ****!!! YEAH BABY!!!! Where’s the oil, I’d like to oil that man from head to toe — going slowly on that middle — if you get my meaning!!!

God, I need a cold shower real bad!!!

++++++++++++++

Simmer down, Maria! I told you there would be a WWE-style Smackdown over the Black Man! I’m going to be contacting Madison Square Garden to see what their rental fee is…

BTW - Djimon…dude…you can do sooooooooo much better than the LezboTranny!

I cannot believe this man is 43 years old! Look at that body! He’s obviously got great genes to go along with strong discipline!

I know he is a black man but is there any need to dip him in black paint as well?

+++++++++

That’s not paint! It’s baby oil. It’s a bodybuilders trick to make the muscle stand out and look even more defined.

I think he is one sexy mofo. The one guy that just might be a little hotter than Beckham.

Now Mr. Honsou is DEFINITELY one fine Panty-Creamer! (Or G-Creamer, or Pants-Creamer, or whatever else you wear, or not wear perhaps…)
DAYUM!

Sharon/Longtime Lurker:

This man has been mine since BEBORE Janet video, before Gladiator, before Amestad — PERIOD!!! I was in Paris years ago and picked up this mag and saw this GORGEOUS BLACK MAN in suit and from that moment on I was HOOKED!! So, HANDS OFF PEOPLE! THE MAN IS MINE, MINE, MINE.

From what I’ve heard he’s a very nice person. Don’t know what he sees in ‘what’s her name’, but hoping his brain clears up soon and he dumps the slag.

PT: Oh, we’re talking ‘All Out Brawl’ over this one. HA! HA!

BLACK PAINT? Who said that? That’s oil ladies, O….I….L. Now, why couldn’t I have gotten that job. It would have been the best trip my hands ever had!!!! LOL

There is a great story about him from the Blood Diamond set. Supposedly in the scene at the end, when Djimon has to carry Leo up this steep mountain over his shoulder, he did it in one take, looking like it was no effort for him. Director Ed Zwick asked Djimon to do it again, and act like he was struggling to get Leo up the hill. Djimon had difficulty with this because carrying Leo was like nothing to him! Ed Zwick talked about this in interviews. Just goes to show how darned strong the man is! Highly recommend the movie, btw, Leo and Djimon are both extremely hot and do some great acting! Jennifer Connelly is good too as the love interest.

Yes, he´s very good looking. And Sarah: about his face, I think he looks just fine. For me it´s weird when a black man has thin nose and lips, but you´re allowed to think he is not handsome. Have you guys seen how hot he was in Constantine?

He wins the award for the blackest man in Hollywood. Working out is probably 45% of his body and the rest is great genes. My brother drinks beer and eats like a horse and has the most unreal set of abbs. Myself I look like my mothers side of the family “Damm” Life isn’t fare.

The man is beyond fine he has the body of ADONIS! Not only is he gorgeous he is also very talented. It is too bad that Hollywood didn’t give him more credit for his acting attributes- but just shows color is still a factor- guess they are still intimidated by BLACK FOLKS

COME ON YOU PEOPLE CANT BE THIS STUPID IF A BLACK MAN HAS A THIN NOSE AND LIPS ITS BECAUSE SOME BODY WHITE MIXED UP IN THE RACE, THATS WHY I CANT SEE HOW ITS SO MUCH RACISM EBERYBODY HAS SOME MIXES RACE IN THEM OR YOUR ANCESTORS DO. THIS MAN IS GORGEOUS AND THAT DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE WHITE TO BE GORGEOUS. ME MYSLF AND THIS IS MY OPINION SO DONT COME WITH THE HATER BULLCRAP. I DONT LIKE THIN LIPS AND BLONDE HAIR, I LIKE DARK FEATURES. BEUTY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER SO DONT PUSH YOUR BEAUTY STANDARDS ON ME.
