Not quite a Speedo, but

Wales:

This could be the tarn* at base of Clogwyn D'ur Arddu (Black Crag)
- reknowned difficult cliff in the climbing fraternity:

Scotland:

This could be anywhere but I actually found this guy prepared to get his nuts frozen in his speedos in Loch Ness:

The swimmer in icy cold waters of Loch Ness may have found that his "nessie" may have shrunk severally and gone into hiding. LOL

Looking at the detail of that guy's blog for his visit to Loch Ness I see that it was in 2007 and he was then a 17 years-old from the Gold Coast.
No doubt born/arrived there as a youngster of Scottish descent but what a contrast with those long warm beaches available to him up there (or should I say down there?) !

.......but here are some of his very respectable modelling shots:

I don't get it. If he is such a huge latin celebrity why is he in an underwear ad/catalog? Usually "celebs" with lackluster popularity are the ones tossing off clothes and exposing all to get noticed. Seems like if he is that famous Playgirl would have paid him a lot more to show off his crotch.

As for the underwear, looks desperate to me. I prefer the more covered look with something left to imagination. If its that sheer, why wear anything?

I have been to Loch Ness but was advised not to swim there, the water is peaty black, freezing cold even in summer and 800 ft deep.
Your "little monster" might shrink but the bigger problem is rapid body temperature loss and hypothermia.
On the Loch Ness project we were forbidden from swimming off the raft. When someone dropped a diving mask into the water it disappeared into the black water almost instantly and was lost.
I went up the steep side of the Loch following General Wade's Military Road then cut cross country to the little tarn I swam in. So easy to get lost up there, I had to walk on a compass bearing to get back.
So exciting to swim alone in the wild, exciting and a bit dangerous.
A close encounter with a big stag surprised us both.

As I understand the story, he begin his career as a male model. Then got picked up as a Spanish-language actor. So the underwear modeling precedes the acting career.

Underwear modeling is a very specialized (and apparently very highly paid as male models go) subset of (male) modeling and to get to do underwear modeling is the goal of many young and aspiring male models. Not all males who might be very good at modeling other kinds of clothing make good underwear models. For starters, the guy has to have a really excellent stomach for it, as in really tight abs and a slim waist. Then there is the issue of "endowment". The bulge has to look just right for the cameras, and not be either too big, too small, or too revealing in detail. No doubt padding is used in a lot of photos, but the sheer Levy photos suggests that he has just the right equipment without any help whatsoever. In sheer underwear modeling, there really isn't the option of using padding to primp the bulge.

ABC apparently knew all about the underwear modeling photos before they signed him on for Dancing with the Stars and probably correctly concluded he would boost the ratings. I expect him to be a voter favorite for many coming weeks, and each week we will see a little more of the body. This week, we started to see the bare chest. What happens next week everyone will just have to tune in to find out, but that was the whole reason for signing him on the show.

Byron, thanks for the wonderful eye candy - he is dreamy

The vanilla pod harvest failed last year, the price of vanilla is rising due to shortage and speculation. maybe it is time to consider something more fruity.
