A 26ft bare-chested image of Jeremy Allen White might captivate audiences globally, but for residents in Hackney, it has caused significant frustration. The enormous 65ft-wide illuminated billboard has cast three stories of terraces into darkness, leaving the affected properties completely shrouded. Locals have expressed outrage, alleging that the intrusive advertisement is “blighting” the area by obstructing windows and depriving residents of natural light.
The Calvin Klein billboard features American actor Jeremy Allen White lying down in a sleeveless denim jacket, showcasing his muscles.
A Hackney council spokesperson stated: “The council investigated this matter in autumn 2020 and concluded that the advertisement was unlawful.”
