The clothing retailer made the announcement Tuesday in a press release, citing Barnet's involvement "as part of the brand's continued focus on inclusivity." The Netflix star will promote Pink's gender-free collection and curate a list of his favorite products. He will also take part in the company's mental health initiatives and campaigns to support young adults.
"Filming 'Never Have I Ever' definitely brings me back to my high school days and reminds me of the insecurities and issues that we face as young adults. I know how it feels to not fit in, and how important it is to feel supported and accepted for who you are," Barnet said in a statement.
