Well, here we go again. Kim Kardashian, the reigning queen of chaos, has enlisted a certain Will Ferrell for her latest SKIMS campaign. Spoiler alert: it’s as cringe-worthy as it sounds. Ferrell’s gone nearly naked — just SKIMS briefs covering his less-than-glamorous physique, portraying his washed-up golfer character Lonnie from the upcoming Netflix masterpiece, The Hawk. And in true Kardashian fashion, Kim couldn’t resist throwing in a voiceover that would make even the most seasoned PR flack roll their eyes: "His body says retire, his SKIMS say one more round... built for men who still know they got it!" Really? Is that supposed to be a compliment?
These two are apparently vibing on a whole new level, as they’re also set to co-star in some film called The Fifth Wheel. Because if there's one thing we need, it’s more awkward pairings. Just weeks ago, Kim was busy coaching him on how to take the perfect selfie — because who doesn’t need that life skill? In any case, she’s found herself the perfect SKIMS poster boy, and that’s what really matters. Good for them, I guess.
