Theo James certainly wasn’t feeling shy as he filmed a brand new Dolce and Gabbana advert in just a pair of tiny white pants.

The White Lotus star was spotted in Capri, Italy, on Monday getting up close and personal with his advert co-star Vittoria Ceretti.

Joining him in a tiny boat, the 26-year-old model – who is heavily rumoured to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio – lounged in a matching white string bikini.

Crewmembers could be seen holding onto the boat in the shallow water as the pair got hot and heavy for the steamy advert.

At one point, Theo, 39, and Vittoria stopped to take some guidance from their director before tumbling back into an embrace.

Both managed to avoid taking an unexpected dip in the crystal clear water, with the Gentlemen star carefully stepping out of the boat without tipping the whole thing over.

Theo grabbed a towel before popping on a dressing robe – which he opted not to tie so his abs and tight swimwear were still on full show.

Other snaps show him wrapped in a towel, walking away from the steamy shoot without Vittoria.

Vittoria posted a little behind-the-scenes snap of her in Capri on her Instagram, keeping things vague as she showed off the back of her personalised white dressing gown.

After his breakthrough role in the Divergent series, Theo became the face of Hugo Boss fragrance and has worked as a model alongside his acting career.

Earlier this month, he and his wife Ruth Kearney attended a Dolce and Gabbana show in Sardinia as a brand ambassador.

Miley Cyrus and Colin Farrell have also been announced as the new faces of the designer brand, with Maya Jama previously working with them.

Ruth, 39, is also an actress best known for Primeval and the pair met while at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. They have two children together.

Meanwhile, Vittoria has long been romantically linked to Titanic legend Leo, with the pair heading out on coffee dates and to London celeb haunt Chiltern Firehouse.

They were also filmed at Ibiza’s Hi club putting on a very cosy display in September, although his reps denied they were ‘making out’ in the footage.

Vittoria was still 25 at the time, having turned 26 in June, prompting jokes about Leo’s supposed age rule for women he dates.

A source has previously claimed the romance is going from strength to strength – even though fans recently realised she wasn’t even born when Titanic was released in cinemas.

Leo’s last relationship was with Camila Morrone, 26, who he split from last year as well as being linked to Gigi Hadid and other models.

Meanwhile, Vittoria was previously married to Matteo Milleri, an Italian DJ, from 2020 to 2023 before meeting the Revenant actor at Cannes.

The 49-year-old star had been at the film festival promoting his movie The Killers of the Flower Moon, which was nominated for 10 Oscars including a historic win for Lily Gladstone as Best Actress.
