Nick is clearly wearing jeans.
Have zero clue how it can be seen as him not wearing jeans when it is so obvious and the box is smaller than his legs which are seen on either side of the box and covered in blue jean.
Posting the pic here before it just gets believed that he is not wearing jeans when he obviously is.

I believe he did it in reference to a SNL skit "D!ck in a box" mentioned upthread.

For me it's not that he was shirtless in the pic because I sure don't have a problem with any of these guys posing shirtless. It's when you combine it with that caption and the product shilling that I'm just like staaaahp. #ConcernedFan

I thought it was hilarious.
If one is going to shill, do it with some humor.
That's Nick's humor and always has been.

I didn't say he didn't have jeans on.

And he is standing in a bath tub!  

Well, if he modifies that IG, you know he is reading here.

IA. I know they all shill products on their IG these days, but that's precisely why I liked the fact that Nick didn't, well apart from the Lyft promoting. It's not that it makes him a worse person, he's just losing what made him more likeable than most to me. That ad is just embarrassing, whether it's a reference to something or not. Please get your integrity back, Nick! You have so much more to offer than abs and discount codes.

Yeah I don't get Ick or his humor because it looks to me like the joke is trying to prostitute himself. That's hilarious...maybe?

I'm with you, mindless. I'm just not a fan of anyone shilling products especially when they don't have a job. Yeah they "all" do it but that doesn't mean it's respectable. Get. A. Job.

And is Nick really 35?  I didn't remember that.  Makes this modelling, greased-up shirtless phase of his that much more weird or sad, not sure which, (IMO).  I hope he goes home to Chicago and his job and gets himself in a relationship STAT.

I agree - for some reason, when 20-somethings do it, I can believe they're just enjoying their youth and will find a more stable path in a few years. When it's a guy who's just 5 short years from hitting 40? I worry. Mostly for my eyes.

"Appears to have junk out" clearly indicates no clothes on, IMO and perpetuates that he doesn't have clothes on his bottom half when he does.

I really don't see the big deal as it a shirtless pic like all the others and him making fun of himself with his caption and ad, which, to me, I never liked Nick because he didn't shill products so it doesn't matter that he does. Just like I don't like someone more just because they don't shill products. All I care about is if the person does shill products don't whine and complain to fans.

I do like someone more if they have a job and don't shill products. For me a guy isn't appealing if he doesn't even work.
