It’s no secret that a famous and easily recognizable face is the key to a successful ad campaign. Big budget lingerie brands are eager to hire most beautiful Hollywood actors and actresses to cover their advertisement campaigns and speak on behalf of the brand. And believe me, it’s money’s worth.

So here are out top 8 sexiest actors and actresses turned lingerie models:

8. Mark Wahlberg

Even though Mark does not like to be reminded of his ad campaign for Calvin Klein, we’re unlikely to forget his happy smile and his white boxers. Oh, the abs look fantastic, too!

7. Hilary Swank

This Million Dollar Baby has a wonderful body she exposed for racy Calvin Klein ad campaign. Hilary showed her sensual side, and we loved it!

6. Jennifer Love Hewitt

In 2006 Ghost Whisperer actress Jennifer Love Hewitt was signed as a face of Hanes to model the brand’s comfortable bras and panties in the Panti-Monium campaign.

5. Djimon Hounsou

Now husband of Kimora Lee, two years ago model-actor Djimon Hounsou was the face and body of the global campaign to promote Calvin Klein Steel.

4. Rebecca Romijn

In 2007 the Ugly Betty actress and now mother of two adorable twin daughter Rebecca Romijin, then 35, modeled for La Perla Lingerie. She also modeled for the swimsuit issue of Sports Illustrated and for Victoria’s Secret.

3. Maggie Gyllenhaal

The Dark Knight actress has more than just outstanding acting skills to demonstrate. In 2007 Maggie graced the ad campaign of one of the most well known and surely provocative lingerie brands, Agent Provocateur.

Maggie bared quite a lot for the shoot that helped us see her sensual side in the retro styled bondage-inspired pics.

2. Megan Fox

This month Megan has been signed as the new face of Emporio Armani Underwear replacing ex Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

1. Eva Mendes

Calvin Klein’s model and muse looks totally sizzling in all of the brand’s adverts. Her ad for CK’s Confession perfume was banned for its uber sexuality, while the ads for CK underwear are simply burning hot.

Eva joined Calvin Klein underwear campaign in July 2008. And she’s definitely the hottest actress-turned-lingerie model so far!
