Shawn Mendes Gets 'Vulnerable' & Strips Down in New Calvin Klein Campaign: See Exclusive Pics

In February, Mendes set the Internet on fire when he shared a sampling of photos from his first Calvin Klein campaign. His Instagram post revealing a pair of images from his photo shoot with the company became his most-liked and most-commented-on post ever (a feat it continues to hold, with 8.6 million likes and over 490,000 comments).

Other individuals taking part in the new I Speak My Truth in #MyCalvins campaign: musicians Billie Eilish, Kevin Abstract, Chika and A$AP Rocky; actor-musician Troye Sivan; actors Yoo Ah-In and Noah Centineo; actor-activist Indya Moore; and models Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner. (Watch a mash-up video of all the faces in the campaign at the bottom of this story.)

In Mendes’ 30-second "Shawn Mendes Speaks His Truth" video, the clip opens with a very young Mendes in a home movie and quickly transitions to a shot of the now-20-year-old Mendes walking outside in front of a huge movie screen showing the same clip of him as a youngster. In a voice-over, Mendes -- clad in jeans and a short-sleeved white T-shirt -- says, “I think the real strength is putting yourself out there. Whether that’s in your music or just life in general. I’m vulnerable, and I think that’s a good thing.”   

As more clips of the younger Mendes play behind current-day Mendes, the pop star says, “I think the younger version of me would be pretty proud. I speak my truth in my Calvins.”

In another video, titled "Shawn Mendes Is iConicKally CALVIN," the singer-songwriter is captured in nothing but a pair of Calvin Klein boxer briefs, dramatically lit on a stark-white stage and backdrop. The 30-second video ends as “ICONICKALLY” and “CALVIN KLEIN,” flash on screen, accompanied by Mendes’ voice-over of the same words.
