Emmy winner Paul Walter Hauser wants to copy Jeremy’s Calvin Klein ad

Emmy Award winner Paul Walter Hauser has joked that he would love to follow in Jeremy Allen White’s footsteps by starring in his own Calvin Klein advert.

White, 32, recently broke the internet with his sexy campaign images after becoming the latest Hollywood hunk to strip down to his briefs for the brand – and Black Bird star Hauser admitted that he was ready to do the same.

Speaking backstage after he won the award for best supporting actor in a limited or anthology series, the 37-year-old actor stated: ‘A hundred percent. I think I got some work to do before I get that phone call. But you know me, I’m not afraid of a challenge.’

During his Emmys speech, the majority of which he rapped, Hauser made mention of his upcoming wrestling match with Matt Cardona, but admitted he wouldn’t want to get into the ring with White – who recently played wrestling legend Kerry Von Erich in the movie, Iron Claw.

The actor stated that there was a particular reason why he had no intention of coming face-to-face with White in a match as he explained: ‘I would not want to get in a brawl with Jeremy Allen White, mostly because of his rabid fan base. 

‘They love The Bear, but they’re also in it for the Calvin Klein ad now I’m told. So I don’t want them coming after me.’

The star’s speech at the 7th annual primetime Emmy awards also saw him take a moment to pay tribute to the late Ray Liotta.

‘To the Rolex, Ray Liotta, we’re down here wearing Fossils,’ he said.

The actor shared further details about his experience working with Liotta, who also starred alongside him in Black Bird as Big Jim Keene.

‘Oh man. I only got to work with him one day on set,’ Hauser admitted. ‘We did a tiny little thing together, but it was something giddy for somebody like me who loves movies, who really watches a lot of movies, and that was their entry into the business.’

He continued: ‘I didn’t go to acting school. I didn’t have family in the industry. I just had a Blockbuster card, you know what I mean? 

‘And Ray Liotta, if you look at something wild and Goodfellas and Field of Dreams and Cop Land and Narc, he’s so scary in the movie Narc. I just think he was one of our great actors.’

He then gushed: ‘I put him up there with the Chris Coopers and stuff where every time they show up, I’m happy to see them in a story. So, love shouting him out for his talent.

‘But he was also super kind to me, and I’ve loved getting to know his family, and his daughter and yeah, 인터넷신청 I think he’s at a much better party right now.’

Liotta, who died in his sleep in May 2022, received a posthumous Emmy nomination for his part in Dennis Lehane’s AppleTV+ drama.

The true crime series was based on the real story of serial killer Larry Hall. 

Liotta was nominated for best supporting actor in a limited series alongside his costar Hauser as well as Richard Jenkins , Murray Bartlett, Joseph Lee, Young Mazino and Jesse Plemons.

Speaking about the star at the series premiere in 2023, showrunner and writer Lehane told Variety: ‘He meant everything to us. I wrote the part for him, it was my dream to work with him. He was as good as advertised. 

‘He raised all boats, and he never gave the same take twice. He was a complete, consummate professional. He was there to work.’

He continued: ‘And then when he died, it was tough because our last conversation three weeks earlier had been about what we were gonna do next. We just hope that at least the legacy lives on through this performance.’
