Kellan Lutz plays vampire Emmett Cullen in Twilight
Twilight star Kellan Lutz shows off his buff body in new ads for Calvin Klein Underwear.

The actor has been signed up as the face of the designer label's X range.

‘I started out modelling so this is the pinnacle,' Kellan, 24, tells People.

‘What more can you do than be on a billboard for something that you grew up thinking was super sexy and classy? It's really prestigious and I love it.'

The black and white images of Kellan - shot by photographer Mikael Jansson - will appear worldwide on billboards and magazines from March.

Actor Mehcad Brooks, Spanish tennis star Fernando Verdasco and Japanese footballer Hidetoshi Nakata have also been signed up for the X campaign.

Mark Wahlberg and Djimon Hounsou have previously modelled Calvin Klein Underwear.
