Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams is decked out in BVLGARI jewelry in his latest photoshoot, and the pictures have the internet in a chokehold.
“#GoldandSteel is engineered excellence,” Williams captioned the photos on Instagram. “Superb @bvlgari. Absolutely superb . #BvlgariPartner”
Fans flocked to the comment section, saying that the actor looked “so hot.”
“My friends sent this post and I ALMOST WRECKED MY DAMN CAR,” one fan joked.
“Stop flirting with me man,” another said.
“What a good day to have eyes,” one user commented.
Even Williams’ co-star, Robbie Graham-Kuntz, who plays Kip in Heated Rivalry, commented, “Whatever you say king.”
Williams announced his partnership with BVLGARI in March, wearing jewelry from the brand and an all-black Balenciaga tuxedo to the 98th Academy Awards. During an episode of the Shut Up Evan podcast, Williams opened up to Evan Ross Katz about his fashion inspiration.
“A lot of my fashion role models are women,” Williams said, according to Town and Country. “What they wear, their aura around them—Rihanna, Marilyn Monroe—there’s a sensuality to how they dress, and their clothes complement that. Then I also like people who can be braggadocious and slightly loud; like ASAP [Rocky] is always a touchstone, always someone we talk about when we make a Pinterest board.”
Williams also mentioned that he appreciates the style of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Princess Diana. He also noted that he thinks Ryan Gosling is “a good touchstone for a classic suit,” and Tom Ford is a fashion role model.
“I just love him,” Williams said about Ford. “He’s a good director, a beautiful speaker. He looks cool, I love hearing him talk.”
Ahead of reprising his role as Shane Hollander in season two of Heated Rivalry, Williams has been spotted filming Apparatus with Dylan O’Brien. According to Deadline, the comedic thriller follows a struggling rideshare driver (played by Williams) who falls under the influence of an entrepreneur (played by O’Brien). A release date has yet to be announced, but the film is currently in production.
