One of the campaign photos shows Perez leaning against a metal rail while standing shirtless on a balcony set against the artistic backdrops of Paris. He is wearing only a pair of white boxer-briefs with a thick green band with the brand’s name. His toned abs are on display as he looks away from the camera with a relaxed expression on his face.
The second image shows the actor in a pair of black boxer-briefs with white branding across the top as he stands on top of a freshly made white bed in a dimly lit room. He is photographed leaning against the wall with his arms tucked behind his back as he gazes at the camera.
In a press release, Lacoste states that the underwear partnership marks an “exciting start” to a long-term collaboration with Perez.

Everybody can’t seem to get enough of theKissing Booth 2alum as he was just named one ofPEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alivein 2024.
Speaking with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview, Perez revealed thathe prefers his date nights to be laidback. “I’m so chill with cooking at home, putting cell phones away, walking, probably a dog is in the mix, and being outside,” he said. “There’s just always so much noise in everything we do, whether it’s a beeping on our phone or an email going out on our computer or Spotify playing in the background. I think it’s just [about] connection.”
