Don’t ever say The Chainsmokers never took a creative risk. In anticipation of their upcoming single “Summertime Friends,” groupmates Alex Pall and Drew Taggart stripped down to their underwear to recreate a steamy photo originally taken by Justin and Hailey Bieber for a 2019 Calvin Klein campaign.
The picture finds Pall straddling Taggert, sitting on his bandmate’s lap as Taggert grips Pall’s rear-end. Tinted black and white, the snap shows the two men wearing no shirts, their Calvin Klein undies peeking out past the waistbands of their jeans.
“Summertime friends comes out this week and this was supposed to be the cover art but it came out ridiculous,” the pair joked in an Instagram post, sharing the photo alongside their reference photo of Mr. and Mrs. Bieber. “we are so upset. firing creative director immediately. never trusting our team again.”
The “Closer” band also shared a video of the photoshoot in action, writing in the caption: “it came out okay i guess.”
The photo parodies one of several shots from Calvin Klein’s 2019 50th anniversary campaign, which also starred Kendall Jenner, A$AP Rocky, Troye Sivan and more. The Biebers posed for content showing them dancing together and enjoying a makeout sesh for the campaign, all while modeling CK pieces.
At the time of publication, neither Justin nor Hailey have reacted to the tribute. The couple was recently spotted together at an event for the Rhode founder’s new lip product, after which the “Peaches” singer proudly posted photos of his wife on Instagram. “😍😍😍baby girl with the @rhode @krispykreme STRAWBERRY GLAZEEE,” Justin captioned his post.
