Now, it’s time to talk about another important part of Chris’ power — his physique — which he has no problem showing off for fans in a new workout ad.
If you were paying attention last year then you’d know Chris Meloni had a renaissance in 2021.
And yes, I am comparing the infamous period in European history that marked the transition from the Middle Ages to modernity over the 15th and 16th centuries, to actor Chris Meloni.
Last year, his career resurgence began with his highly anticipated “SVU” spin-off, “Law & Order: Organized Crime.”
Naturally, the show started with a crossover event with SVU.
Seeing Chris and Mariska Hargitay on-screen together once again was enough to warm my icy cold heart.
These days, however, Chris is making headlines for a completely different reason — one that may make you blush.
In a new ad for the now-infamous workout company Peloton, the 61-year-old is flexing his muscles in his birthday suit.
Yep, you read that right.
To be fair, this commercial idea is not far off from the 61-year-old’s usual gym routine.
During the NBCUniversal upfront earlier this year, the actot revealed that he loved to workout in the buff.
“I work out naked. It’s my gym,” he said, as per Vanity Fair.
If that wasn’t risque enough, the actor and father revealed that his wife isn’t too fond of his nude routine, especially because he hasn’t blacked out their windows — giving their neighbors quite the show every day.
“And I’m OK with that,” he admitted, “My wife is not.”
Who could blame her?
At the beginning of the viral Peloton ad, Chris is scene doing bicep curls from the chest up, and saying: “Apparently, some people think the way I work out is strange.”
The camera then pans out to show that Chris is working out naked, with pixels covering his private parts.
The actor then joked that he “doesn’t get” why people think it’s weird that he works out naked.
The commercial goes on to show Chris doing various workouts (found on the Peleton app) in the nude. (Psssst, you can watch the full ad here. )
As you can imagine, fans are loving the ad and are taking to social media to shout it from the rooftops.
To be fair, who can blame us? As the song goes — I’M ONLY HUMAN AFTER ALL!
Good for you, Chris, and good for you, Peloton!
