After seeing him stun on screen in Red, White & Royal Blue, plenty of fans wondered if it were possible for Taylor Zakhar Perez to get any hotter. As of yesterday, the answer is yes, he can, courtesy of a new campaign with French fashion brand Lacoste.
Zakhar Perez is Lacoste’s newest ambassador. That means he’s modeling their wares — specifically, their tighty-whities — in a series of photos and videos that the internet can’t look away from.
Traipsing through a luxurious Paris apartment, Zakhar Perez proves he could just as easily have been a model as an actor. Two shots in particular are getting reshared to oblivion: the first, of Zakhar Perez posing in front of a mirror (and showing off his backside in the process)…

And beyond the video, Zakhar Perez’s photo shoot is just as thirst-inducing for fans.
Zazhar Perez himself has made two comments on the campaign. In his official statement, part of Lacoste’s press release, he said, “It’s an honor to join Lacoste as an ambassador. I’ve always admired the history, legacy, and creativity of the brand, and it’s with great pride that I now carry the values of the crocodile.”
And in what could be called an unofficial statement, he commented on Lacoste’s Instagram post of one of his underwear shots, writing, “Hey, my eyes are up here 👀.” Thanks for the reminder, Taylor.
