"Honestly, I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed the line itself," Barnet told WWD by phone. “It's really stuff that I wear all the time; these are things that are very comparable to things that I have worn in my own style and my own collection. I wear it everywhere in the house. I've worn it, literally, on a [red] carpet before and taken pictures with it. I just did a photoshoot in a magazine with it. I traveled with; I wear it on the plane."

Right now, that trip includes a trip to the Dominican Republic, where the rising star is filming his latest film, after which he'll fly to his next filming location. “And potentially another show,” Barnet explained. "I'm super busy right now."

However, last spring he found time to become a brand ambassador for Pink, the loungewear and loungewear brand's first male ambassador, as it launched a new gender-neutral collection.

As part of the partnership, Barnet served on the selection committee for the fourth annual Pink With Purpose project this year alongside fellow brand ambassadors, model Remi Bader and R&B duo Chloe x Halle. The initiative awards $25,000 scholarships to 10 youth, ages 18 to 28, to help fund local projects and causes. The latest batch of winners, which the brand will reveal on Tuesday, were all women. But Pink's representatives said the scholarship is open to women and men.
