"Switched at Birth" actor Nyle DiMarco, who is also one of the top four finalists of "America's Next Top Model" cycle 22, recently took to Instagram to channel the late James Dean and remind his fans the hazards of smoking.
"Dear James Dean, Smoking kills," DiMarco captioned the black and white Instagram photo of himself wearing a white shirt and black shades with a cigarette in his left hand. He is one of the four models still in the running to becoming America's next top model along with Mikey Heverly, Lacey Rogers and Mame Adjei.
DiMarco posted his photo channeling Dean on Nov. 19, Thursday, which was International Men's Day. On International Men's Day, professional hair care brand Sexy Hair announced that the new ambassador for the brand's Style Sexy Hair line will be Dead beginning in April 2016.
"James Dean's sexy-cool look is a forever-classic, much like our 'big red can,'" PR Newswire quoted Sexy Hair vice president of marketing and education Jennifer Weiderman as saying.
Also, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" star Dane DeHaan is set to play Dean in the upcoming film "Life." Directed by Anton Corbijn and written by Luke Davies, the biopic is about Dean's 1955 photo walking through Times Square in the rain with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"The whole structure of the film is built around possible moments when these photos were taken," Wall Street Journal quoted the "Life" director as saying. Set to be released on Dec. 4, the film also stars Peter Lucas as Nicholas Ray, Lauren Gallagher as Natalie Wood and "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson as Dennis Stock.
