Rafael Nadal is having a bit of a moment (as if 14 Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal haven’t been enough) as the new face (and body, mostly body) of Tommy Hilfiger underwear.
In addition to that tease of a TV spot, Nadal, Hilfiger, some supermodels and Jane Lynch (obviously) got together in New York City’s Bryant Park to play some strip tennis.
Here are the relevant GIFs:
Starts out innocent enough
But these crowds came for skin
It’s not Nadal, but hell, we’ll take it
Sadly, Nadal never showed off his undies (wasn’t that the whole point?), but he still found a way to strip a little for the fans
Watch the whole stunt below:

Rafa has a gorgeous girl friend. I wonder how he feel if a gay site are posting bot pictures of him in his underwear? I doubt he would endorse this. Isn’t the straight thirst a bit desperate and solidifies stereotypes about gay men? I’m rafa fan but there is a line drawn between his well former play and his personal life.

Forget Nadal. The eye candy of that TommyXNadal tennis event was supermodel Noah Mills.
Billy Budd
Novak Djokovic is way hotter.

Nadal is hot, but he’d be a lot hotter if he started winning some matches again.

@Curty: as long as straight men keep ogling women who are not their wives, why should we be held to a higher moral standard?

Blatant commercial. Poor choice, Queerty.
Beside that, lame.

This is all about ten years too late. He’s not aging that well.

@Blackceo: I’m with you. Noah Mills= Yum!
@Curty if someone has an issue with their underwear pics being posted on a website (gay or straight) then they shouldn’t put themselves into that position to begin with. I don’t see people obsessing over straight guys other than perhaps yourself. I think most of us look at Rafa as a moderately attractive guy, not ‘moderately attractive straight guy’. What’s wrong with that?

Nasal, Noah, and Akin are hot. Damn all of them in one room and me would be world war 100.

@jwtraveler: He is hot win or lose. As a longtime fan, yes, I prefer his winning as he is the sexiest player on the court these days. Winning attests to his athleticism; underwear modeling to his cross-over appeal. He’s a winner with me all round!
Dan Rucks
It just gets better and better.
