Djimon Hounsou - Calvin Klein Ads

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.

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.

PERFECTION, I’M SURE JESUS LOOKED A LOT LIKE THIS. YUMMY!

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

OH HE IS PACKING, DONT LET THAT RELAXED LOOK FOOL YOU. BOY OH BOY YOU HATERS JUST WISH HE WAS NOT PACKING BEACUSE HE IS A BLACK, WELL YOU ARE WRONG HE IS PACKING THANK YOU

LAUREN YUMMY WANT SOME DARK CHOCOLATE—— GO GET YOU A HERSHEY BAR AND LEAVE MY CHOCOLATE MAN ALONE. IM CHOCOLATE SO WE MATCH GOOD. GO GET YOU SOME VANILLA ICE CREAM

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.

Sarah you’re not the only person that thinks he’s ugly, his bod is amazing but who would wanna date something that looks like a monster. I think david beckham has an amazing bod for a relationship.

I would F*** him really good. I know he got a mandigo piece of meat. I loved to lick it and suck on that one.

Djimon Hounsou is very ugly & these women that claim “He’s sooo Hot” are only looking @ his muscle$ & his bank account! If he was over weight & working at a gas station….They wouldn’t even look in his direction! Grow up and give your hormones “the day off”, If he’s so hot, start up a collection @ work,and buy him an air conditioner! Kimora Simmons is alright looking for a rich “cougar”, who basically got rich by marrying a rich record/fashion mogul! She is what I call a Urban-Asian rich ghetto queen, I bet she left her “visa gold $$” hard hat @ home when she got Russell Simmons to marry her! With her ego, I give that marriage about same odds or life span of “P-Diddy’s” reality bands on MTV! & that’s “stretching” it!
