Heated Rivalry fans have truly been fed this week, with both François Arnaud and Robbie GK getting their kit off – but for different reasons.
Arnaud, who plays Scott Hunter in the gay hockey drama, has been announced as Under Armour’s new global brand ambassador. He is fronting the new campaign, called “For When It’s Hot”, which spotlights the brand’s HeatGear products.
The Canadian actor appeared in a temperature-raising video for the sportswear brand, working out in his Under Armour gear, getting all sweaty and showing off his bulging biceps before he strips off.
The star, who is bisexual, catches the eye of both a male and a female passerby – and it’s not surprising why.
Fans ate it up, with one commenting: “This is the most bisexual ad I’ve ever seen.” Another said: “Bisexuals we won in ways never seen before.”
Someone else said: “Everyone say thank you Under Armour.” A fourth added: “I need to hydrate after this.”
However, as one fan said: “Robbie saw François’ Under Armour ad and said ‘hold my six-pack’.”
That’s because Robbie GK – full name Robbie Graham-Kuntz – uploaded his own shirtless shot in a new Instagram carousel.
In the photo, he could be seen showing off his ripped abs and hairy chest as he smiled in front of a mirror.
Robbie GK plays Kip Grady in Heated Rivalry, the love interest of Arnaud’s Scott Hunter. Referencing that, one fan joked: “I think this was meant to be shared to Hunter and Hunter only.”
Another said: “Sneaking slide five in like a little surprise.” A third commented: “Happy international abs day!”
Someone else added: “Just out of curiosity, why do your abs have abs?” As another begged: “Don’t ever wear a shirt again, please.”
Filming for Heated Rivalry season two is set to start imminently, after it was previously revealed that it was set to get going in July.
Arnaud and GK are both set to reprise their roles, after Scott came out publicly by kissing Kip on the rink in front of the world’s cameras.
Their storyline in season one is taken from the first book in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers novel series, Game Changer. However their story is continued as a secondary plot in the fourth book, Common Goal.
In Common Goal, Scott’s friend and teammate Eric Bennett is dealing with a divorce and coming to terms with his sexuality, when he meets bartender Kyle, one of Kip’s friends.
The story takes readers through a rollercoaster of emotions, mainly due to the fact that the two men have quite an age gap.
The character of Kyle has already appeared in the TV show, played by Matthew Finlan, however a leaked casting call for Heated Rivalry season two revealed Eric was yet to be cast.
