Djimon Hounsou will be stripping down to his skivvies soon in Calvin Klein Underwear ad campaigns.

The multi-talented Hounsou is a model and actor. He was nominated just last year for his roll in Blood Diamond and had one previous Oscar nomination as well. He has also appeared in such movies as Steven Spielberg's Amistad, Gladiator, In America and The Island.

From the sound of it, Hounsou is excited to be doing the adverts : "As a child growing up in Africa, I could have never dreamed that I would be where I am today. Representing such an iconic American brand like Calvin Klein Underwear signifies to me that I have been accepted. This carries more meaning for me than you can imagine. Dreams really do come true."

In case you aren't familiar with Hounsou, here are some pics we found of him:

Makes us wonder if he is going to be doing briefs, boxers or boxer briefs.

And he was one of two hunks in Janet Jackson's video for "Love Will Never Do Without You," which was his first introduction to US audiences.
