Yesss, chef!

Jeremy Allen White is bringing the heat (outside of the kitchen!) for his Calvin Klein debut.

The Bear actor stars in the brand's Spring 24 global campaign, launching today, and true to Calvin Klein tradition, he has stripped down to his underwear for the sexy photo shoot.

In a series of images captured by world-renowned photographer Mert Alas, White, 32, smolders for the camera while posing in various Calvin Klein briefs on a rooftop in his hometown of New York City. As always, his signature curls are perfectly tousled in every frame.

PEOPLE also got an exclusive look behind the scenes of White's debut with the brand, where he was partially clothed in a few pieces from the retailer. One of the staple pieces White wears is a classic white T-shirt, something he tells PEOPLE he can't go without. In fact, he is a huge fan of CK's plain white tees because they're "wonderful."

“I think it’s just the fit," he tells PEOPLE exclusively. "There’s also the texture and comfort of it. For me, it’s the hem on the waist. I like it closer to the waistline. Like this wonderful Calvin Klein white tee, the sleeves should wrap just around the shoulders. That’s what makes a nice white tee.”

In all of White's shirtless photos, he shows off miles of tanned skin and rippling muscles. He also puts his many tattoos on display while in various states of undress. He may not have as many tattoos as his Hulu character, but he does have a fair few. He told Vanity Fair last year, though, that he probably won't be adding to his collection any time soon, though. If ever.

"I think I'm done with tattoos, to be honest. I've spent so much time in the makeup chair this year. If I were to get anything next, it would be for [playing] Philip Gallagher—those 11 years on Shameless were so special. I don't think I give that time in my life enough love in my head, so maybe I could love it on my skin."

White joins a long list of celebrities who are part of the Calvin Klein family, including Brandon Flynn, Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, who stripped down on Instagram in November for a CK shoot.

The model shared a carousel of skin-baring photos that included one in a black bra and high-waisted underwear and one where she was totally topless.

White was catapulted into the stratosphere of hotness as Carmy the chef on the TV show The Bear and he's handling the attention as well as he can. He told PEOPLE on the red carpet for his film The Iron Claw in November that he's quite "flattered" by it all.

"What do I say to the internet?" he asked of the world's response to his toned physique. "Thanks for watching. I don't know, I'm flattered. It surprises me, truly."

"But I'll take it!" White added with a shrug. "I'll take what I can get!"

The Hulu star previously addressed the attention he's received from fans, telling Vanity Fair last February that he doesn't "pay too much attention to it."

"My mom tells me what they're saying on Twitter, which is nice," he explained. "I've been acting since I was 18. I was on this show [Shameless] for 11 years that was popular, but I wasn't getting as much attention then as I am now. I feel very lucky that everything's been this gradual because I've been able to find my footing already."

"I feel really bad for a young actor or somebody who just hasn't had much experience when all of a sudden they break through; it could be more overwhelming in that case," he added.

The actor — who shares daughters Ezer and Dolores with his now-estranged wife Addison Timlin — added: "I probably wouldn't have done well if I were single or without children or just younger and dumber. If you don't have a foundation outside of your career, that can be a lonely existence."
