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 putshis many tattoos on displaywhile in various states of undress. He may not have as many tattoos as his Hulu character, but he does have a fair few. He toldVanity Fairlast 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 onShamelesswere 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 BieberandKendall Jenner, whostripped down on Instagram in Novemberfor a CK shoot.
The model shared acarousel of skin-baring photosthat included one in a black bra and high-waisted underwear and one where she was totally topless.
“What do I say to the internet?” he asked of the world’s response to histoned 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, tellingVanity Fairlast February that he doesn’t “pay too much attention to it.”
“My mom tells mewhat 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 daughtersEzerandDoloreswith his now-estranged wifeAddison 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.”
