The Bear's Jeremy Allen White's topless photos leave fans baffled
Jeremy Allen White has just got fans talking — but this time his acting skills have nothing to do with it.
The star of The Bear has posed topless for a new Calvin Klein Underwear campaign, with the designer's Instagram account sharing two images of the actor: one in black and white and a full colour shot in which he lies down on an orange sofa on a New York rooftop.
Among many an appreciative comment on Allen's physique, some Instagram users focused on a specific feature that appears to be missing from the snaps.

"Am I crazy or is there no belly button?" one person asked.
"Did they photoshop his belly button out? Where is it?!" another wrote.
"Where is his belly button [crying emoji]?" was another comment.
While the Internet continues doing its thing speculating on the belly button mystery and whether it's the result of questionable photo editing, Allen's navel is well visible in the trailer for wrestling drama The Iron Claw (right after his character Kerry drinks from a beer keg at a house party at the 1:16-minute mark, in case you're looking for the exact frame).

Released in the US in December 2023, the A24 movie on the Von Erich wrestling dynasty is guaranteed to feature several belly buttons as its protagonists — including Allen, Zac Efron and Harris Dickinson — are either topless or rock crop tops in most scenes.
Speaking about training for the film from writer-director Sean Durkin, Allen admitted feeling "scared".
"I definitely had moments where I was scared. I thought either I would hurt myself or make a fool of myself," the Shameless actor said on Variety's podcast, Just for Variety.
"But like I said, there was such trust in our partners in this thing, and you would be caught, both literally and figuratively, when we were training and doing these performances."
The Iron Claw is out in US cinemas now. In the UK, the film will be released on February 9. The Bear seasons 1-2 are currently available to stream on Disney+.
