Cuba Gooding Jr. is completely dedicated to new his role as O.J. Simpson, so much that he’s running around in his underwear.
The actor, who will be playing Simpson in American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson, was seen shooting a scene for the upcoming crime anthology series on Wednesday and he truly resembles the former football player.
Photos of the actor in action show him running wearing just a yellow collared shirt, his tighty-whities, long brown socks and black sneakers, notes E! News.
