Post Malone Says SKIMS Shoot Was ‘Terrifying,' Reveals The Unusual Food He Ate To Prep

Post Malone is showing off a new side of himself, literally. The 30-year-old hitmaker has been unveiled as the latest face of Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS, fronting the undergarment and loungewear line in a bold new campaign that highlights his striking weight loss. In photos for the campaign, Malone, born Austin Post, poses in camouflage boxer briefs, embracing the wilderness near his Utah home. Now, in a new interview, Post Malone revealed how the unlikely collaboration came about.

Speaking to GQ, the "Circles" singer shared, “In Utah, it gets very, very, very cold. And some way or another I found this comforter robe,” referring to the SKIMS Cotton Duvet Robe. “Whenever I went out to smoke at night, I would always put this on, and it was probably the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn in my entire life.”

That robe led to a bigger opportunity. “From there, it just snowballed out of control to the point [where now] I’m naked in the woods. Well, not naked. But you can’t see the underwear anyways," he added. "They’re camouflage.”

Though the gig marked his first foray into modeling, Malone leaned into his trademark humor. “It’s terrifying for me. I’ve never done anything like that. It’s like a Sasquatch sighting," he joked. "Everyone’s going to call it in to the cops and say, ‘We saw Bigfoot out here.’ Or, Averagefoot. Sorry.”

The "White Iverson" star has recently turned heads for his slimmer physique, though he joked that he actually tried to bulk up for the shoot. “I ate a lot of fried chicken," he admitted. "I tried to bulk up a little bit. But it didn’t work.”

Despite the nerves, Malone said he’s “really honored” to be part of Kardashian’s billion-dollar brand, praising the SKIMS team for creating what he called “an amazing deal” and “the most comfortable thing I’ve ever worn.”

Outside of the campaign, Malone also opened up about fatherhood with his three-year-old daughter, whom he shares with ex Hee Sung “Jamie” Park. While the rapper has kept his daughter’s name private, he didn’t hold back on describing the joy she’s brought to his life.

“Kids are little sh-ts and they’re beautiful at the same time,” he admitted. “Being a dad, I take it a day at a time. I think it’s important that way. We’re learning every day. I don’t know what the hell I’m doing, and neither does she. She’s just figuring it out.”

Still, he said he’s proud of how far he’s come. “My kid’s three now. Isn’t that wild? She’s still alive. It’s crazy," he told the outlet. I didn’t f-ck this up just yet, so it’s good.”

Malone also revealed that she loves being outdoors, especially with animals. “She’s too tiny to ride a horse, but my dad’s buddy got her a pony for her third birthday," the rapper added. "She’ll be here soon.”

Behind the scenes of his SKIMS debut, Malone has been entangled in a legal battle over his 3-year-old daughter with ex-fiancée Park. But now, the "Sunflower" singer appears to have gained the upper hand.

According to Rolling Stone, Park recently withdrew her California court filing, effectively ending her push to have the case handled in Los Angeles, where she had requested primary physical custody with Malone granted limited visitation. By dropping the petition, jurisdiction will remain in Utah, where Malone first filed his own custody papers just two days prior.

The development marks a major shift in the case. Malone, who has been raising their daughter in Utah, has long pushed for the proceedings to stay there.

While the child, referred to in legal documents as “DDP," remains at the heart of the dispute, Malone has been candid about the joy of fatherhood. In his GQ interview, he said he’s still figuring it out day by day but couldn’t be happier watching his daughter grow up.

For now, Post Malone is balancing new ventures like modeling with SKIMS, his music career, and fatherhood, all while navigating one of the most personal battles of his life.
