More than a month before their movie won the "Best Picture" Oscar on Sunday night (February 26), four of "Moonlight‘s" stars posed for Calvin Klein’s spring 2017 underwear campaign, "Revelation." Willy Vanderperre’s photos of Mahershala Ali, Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders and Alex Hibbert (who, at the age of 12, was photographed in a t-shirt) were posted yesterday (February 27) alongside their reflections on "Moonlight’s" success.

From Calvin Klein’s Instagram feed:

 

Resonant: “Even after the performance is over, I realize that you still have to service it. I’ll be in a coffee shop and someone will come up to me and just open a vein…telling me how this struck a nerve for them, what their experience was." ⠀ —@MahershalaAli, the Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor, wearing the 100% Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt and Cotton Stretch Trunk with Slim Cut Jeans. ⠀ The Spring ’17 Men’s Calvin Klein Underwear Campaign, photographed by Willy Vanderperre.
