Colton Underwood strikes a divisive cord in culture.

A former contestant and lead of the Bachelor franchise, Underwood made headlines the world over when he came out as gay. Since he's revealed that he came out in part because he'd been previously blackmailed surrounding his sexuality. And while some applauded many criticized him. Feathers wrinkled over yet another white, cisgender, hot guy was coming out and was primed to monetize the experience. To wit, Underwood has a reality show in the works at Netflix that chronicles his coming out experience, and recently did Pride events for Amazon. All of that in addition to a problematic history — after the Bachelor he had a messy breakup where he stalked his ex to such an extent that a restraining order was put in place and then later ripped — causes many to call for his shunning as much as those who are a fan. But Underwood seems mostly undeterred.

Over the past few weeks he's been posting on social media (and appearing in the social media posts of other) with a crush of gay men popular on Instagram. The likes of Gus Kenworthy and Johnny Sibilly have all been spotted with him. And now he's seemingly done a new photoshoot with Damon Baker, styled and in the home of Nicola Formichetti, a world-renowned creative who's likely known most popularly as Lady Gaga's close fashion collaborator but whose resume is to length to go down here. 

In the shoot Underwood appears in black and white, wearing a leather jacket, shorts, and with his muscles bulging.
