Taylor Zakhar Perez is the new face (and everything else) of Lacoste’s underwear line. Yes, the 33-year-old actor best known for steamy roles in Red, White & Royal Blue and The Kissing Booth, is taking off more than just his movie-star charm for this long-term gig.
In what can only be described as a crocodile-themed thirst trap, Taylor bared it all (well, almost) in a photoshoot so chic it could make the Eiffel Tower blush. The shoot, set in Paris (because where else?), was helmed by photographer Quentin de Briey, with stylist Jason Bolden ensuring that every thread—or lack thereof—was in perfect place.
But let’s talk about this partnership. “It’s an honor to join Lacoste as an ambassador,” Taylor gushed in a statement that probably made PR reps everywhere swoon. “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.”
Yes, you heard that right—Taylor Zakhar Perez is officially the keeper of Lacoste’s crocodilian values. Whether that means embodying the elegance of a reptile in a polo shirt or just looking really good in tight briefs remains unclear. Either way, we’re here for it.
So, if you’ve been wondering what Taylor’s been up to lately, the answer is simple: being hot, repping crocodiles, and making the rest of us question our gym routines. Thanks, Taylor.
