The cast of Moonlight has something else to celebrate

Ashton Sanders is the new face of Calvin Klein.

The 21-year-old actor and his fellow Moonlight co-stars Trevante Rhodes, 27, and Alex Hibbert have joined forces with the popular American brand to star in their Spring/ Summer 2017 underwear campaign.

And the news was announced on the label’s Instagram account, with an image from the campaign of Ashton sprawled out across a sofa wearing nothing but his tight boxer shorts, which was captured by photographer Willy Vanderperre.

The image read: “Introducing the Spring ’17 men’s underwear campaign, photographed by Willy Vanderperre.

Calvin Klein teased the trio were the latest representatives with a picture of all three of the males sporting a sleek tailored suit.

The upload read: “Expect the unexpected – but expect the best. #Oscars (sic).”

The news has also been shared on the Calvin Klein website with photographs from the new commercial.

Ashton, Trevante and Alex also adorned the fashion houses designs for the 89th Academy Awards, which took place on Sunday (26.02.17) at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, and saw the 2016 film receive the Best Motion Picture gong, although ‘La La Land’ was initially announced as the winner of the category.

The American brand shared a string of images of the males and their wardrobe choices for the star studded ceremony.

They read: “Alex Hibbert (here with @ashtondsanders), wears a black wool Calvin Klein tuxedo, poplin dress shirt, and satin tie. #Oscars

“Rising talent @ashtondsanders wears a black wool Calvin Klein tuxedo, poplin dress shirt, and satin tie. #Oscars

“Men of the moment: @ashtondsanders, @_Trevante_ and Alex Hibbert in Calvin Klein for tonight’s #Oscars.

“Bright future, big night: actor Alex Hibbert wears Calvin Klein to the 2017 #Oscars ceremony. (sic).”
