Harry Potter and the Half-Dressed Gymnast Freddie Stroma
Earlier this week, a clip of Harry Potter actor Freddie Stroma dancing in a campaign for Acne underwear set a few tongues wagging across the interwebs. Acne has since released a new video of Stroma showcasing his abilities on the rings. Did I mention there's a surprise at the end and it's probably nsfw.
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...
UPDATE: Apparently it's not Freddie Stroma but a model named Dean Ennion.
Wow, he's so flexible...Yummy!

I had no idea this campaign was so recent. Gymnasts are absolutely the hottest athletes.

Why exactly did they name their clothing brand after a skin blemish? Is there some obscure secondary definition of the word acne I don't know, or does it mean something else in another language? My dictionary says the word comes from the Greek for "facial eruption," which is just a lovely image...

Show me the front if you want me to buy the undies!

Wouldn't you choose him over Ron Weasley any day?

Well I'm sure a lot of people's heads are exploding...

Well, that ASS is definitely giving me an eruption of some kind.
I like him, he's "bendy".

Wow! There were a couple of frames there where it looked like he was really enjoying his workout...

I'd like the thank the Academy for what is clearly the best actor in a motion picture.

Okay...the gymnastics were fun but the last couple shots are what sold me -- talk about beautiful.

Well, that was worth the wait. Nice buns.
Anyone notice that these underwear aren't any special?

That is NOT Freddie Stroma I'm sorry to say. Perez Hilton is the one who broke this story and was immediately contacted by Acne underwear to correct his mis-reporting. Which goes to show you why Perez should be banned from the internet when he causes Towleroad to reprint inaccurate stores.

Per Hilton's site, it was one of Stroma's reps says that it's not him, not ACNE. Now, if you are in the hottest movie right now, geared at a general audience, and suddenly your naked buns appear on the internet, what do you expect? Maybe some damage control by your reps? I'm not saying it is him, but I would believe a company rep more than an actors rep. The company has been smart and hasn't said anything yet. They are getting free publicity.

Too bad it's not him. I thought it was too good to be true that he's a gorgeous model, actor AND gymnast.

It's true that this isn't Freddie Stroma :( If u still have ur doubts remember that Freddie has light blond hair and pale skin-the guy in this video had darker hair and darker skin. But the other video of Freddie dancing in underwear for the same company is him :)

Freddie Stroma doesn't have any problems admitting it was him in interviews. He says his rugby mates tease him about his bad dancing.

I'm inclined to believe it is him, though it may not be. I've seen pics of him with his hair cut down to the roots, looking light brown, and with a suntan about the color of the skin in the vid.

Thank you, Andy, for finding the name of the real model!
(Freddie's dance was cuter!)
