PHOTOS: Rugby star Thom Evans bares more than ever in racy new ad for bottom-enhancing swimwear

World Class

He is perhaps more well-known for his famous girlfriends than his rugby skills these days. But Thom Evans has turned the spotlight firmly back on himself in a new swimwear campaign.
Showing off his honed physique, the 28-year-old poses in a range of fitted trunks for D.HEDRAL's debut BEACH Collection.
Thom's latest shoot sees him modelling the label's Anglefit range, which has been designed to help lift the bottom and give a more defined and pert look by holding everything in place with 'zero sagging.'

As he smoulders in the sea and poses against a wall, displaying his stellar six-pack, the label certainly seems to live up to its claims.

 

Shot on the sun-drenched beaches of Barbados, Thom poses alongside Brazilian model Paolla Rahmeier, who showcases the brand-new women's swimwear range.

What would Jessica say? Thom gets up close and personal with Paolla Rahmeier, who he spent three days on set with perfecting their chemistry for the romantic shoot

And while he may be happily dating 90210 star Jessica Lowndes, Thom and Paolla spent three days together on set perfecting some seemingly steamy chemistry for each shot.
A spokesman for D.HEDRAL said they believe Thom to be the next big male model sensation.
'Thom just gets better and better at modelling. He is so comfortable with his body,' they said.
'We no longer compare him to David Beckham, we think Thom smashed through that comparison six months ago.

Revealing: The new swimwear collection is designed to ensure that there is no sagging

'We personally think that Thom is the new David Gandy.
'His body is in better shape and he has the perfect balance of youth, masculinity, beauty and athletic frame that is very camera friendly.
'Since his rugby days Thom has continued to refine and sculpt this body to become slimmer and more toned. Right now he is in the best shape of his life.'
