A new hunk is gracing the screen in the upcoming Netflix rom-com The Wrong Paris – which is set to hit the streaming site later this year on September 12.
Pierson Fode, 33, is portraying the leading male heartthrob in the movie, which also stars former Nickelodeon actress Miranda Cosgrove.
The pair are no strangers to working together and the actor notably made his acting debut in an episode of the hit series iCarly in 2012.
Fode – who was reportedly in the running to be cast as the Superman back in 2023 – has joined other Netflix hunks, such as Zac Efron who appeared in A Family Affair last year.
New images from the film were released on Tuesday and include Pierson showing off his ripped physique while on set.
The Wrong Paris follows Cosgrove’s character as she takes part in a dating show which she initially assumes takes place in Paris, France – but soon comes to found out it is set in the city of the same name in Texas.

Along with Fode and Cosgrove, other cast members are Madison Pettis, Torrance Coombs, Madeleine Arthur and Frances Fisher.
Social media users jumped to the comment section of a post uploaded to Netflix’s main Instagram page which showcased photos from the rom-com.
‘So excited,’ one fan penned, while another also typed out, ‘I can’t wait to watch this movie.’
Cosgrove herself also offered a simple message of her own and added an array of red heart emojis.
Last month in June, the streaming site also teased with a first look snap – and one follower labeled both Pierson and Miranda as ‘gorgeous.’
But fans began fawning over the actor late last year when he uploaded behind-the-scenes photos as he had a blast on set of The Wrong Paris.
One wrote, ‘Hollywood’s favorite cowboy,’ and another shared, ‘Too much hottness in one photo.’
‘@piersonfode will always be a version of Superman somewhere in another timeline,’ an Instagram user commented.

David Corenswet was eventually cast in the covered role of the superhero in the James Dunn film which recently hit theaters on July 11.
‘So excited for the movie. You and Miranda perfect for the role,’ another fan typed out, and one shared, ‘This is going to be AMAZING!!!’
Fode and Cosgrove reunited for their leading roles in the upcoming Netflix movie after they first worked together in a 2012 episode of Nickelodeon’s iCarly.
The actor then went on to star in a variety of other projects, such as playing the role of Brooks in the Disney channel series Jessie.
He played Thomas Forrester in the soap opera The Bold And The Beautiful from 2015 through 2018. Fode also took on roles in shows such as Supergirl and Animal Kingdom.
Aside from television, the model has additionally appeared in a number of movies since kicking off his acting career.
Pierson was born in the state of Washington and grew up on a farm with his family.

He has appeared in Naomi And Ely’s No Kiss List (2015), 72 Hours (2024) and The Man From Toronto (2022) – which also starred Kevin Hart, Woody Harrelson and Kaley Cuoco; seen in June in Universal City
During a recent interview with People, Fode expressed how his childhood prepared him for his role in The Wrong Paris.
‘Playing Trey felt like playing a version of myself…just with more cameras and fewer early-morning feeding,’ he told the outlet.
Pierson also recalled how the cast would have movie nights and ‘cue up a different rom-com each time as inspiration.’
He added, ‘We love a good Matthew McConaughey moment, and you catch a subtle hat tip or two to his legacy throughout the film. With a dash of Fode, of course.’
Janeen Damian – who directed the Netflix project – gushed about the ‘chemistry’ between the two leading stars.
She explained that ‘the sparks were there’ between Pierson and Miranda which is ‘not always a given.’
The filmmaker continued, ‘Miranda and Pierson knew exactly where they were emotionally in the story and delivered such a gorgeous, nuanced gut-punch of a performance. It was truly a joy to work with them.’
Fode has previously garnered two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performance in The Bold And The Beautiful.

During a past interview with Soap Opera Digest, he reflected on the milestone – and how he first discovered the nod during an appearance on The Talk.
‘It was cool. Obviously, I was hoping it would happen and it did, so that was really incredible.
‘What really surprised me was when they showed that Instagram picture of me from the tanning booth when we were in Australia. Yeah, looking up and seeing yourself practically naked on that big screen? That was a surprise,’ he joked.
Fode – who previously dated actress Victoria Justice – is active on social media, and notably boasts 1 million followers on Instagram.
