Ladies—and gentlemen of a certain persuasion—get your drool buckets ready. Fernando Verdasco is a Calvin Klein underwear model. It's quite big...news.

Only three other hunks are in the ad campaign for CK's new X line. The other buff men appearing nearly in the buff are actors-of-the-month Kellen Lutz (Twilight) and Mehcad Brooks (The Deep End), and Japanese soccer star Hidetoshi Nakata.

Here's a video of Verdasco's shoot, showing the toned and well-greased player in different poses. "I was trying my best doing this work and I really hope my fans will like this," he says. Um, I think they will.
