Calvin Klein’s ex-boy toy has costume change before taking plea deal in frying-pan beating

Calvin Klein’s former boy toy Nick Gruber made sure he was picture-perfect ready Wednesday before taking a plea deal for allegedly beating a foe with a frying pan.

Moments after Gruber entered the Manhattan Criminal Courthouse, he popped into a bathroom with his pal to swap his wrinkled white T-shirt for the friend’s pink button-down.

Sporting a pair of Gucci glasses and his friend’s stylish dress shirt, Gruber then copped to two counts of disorderly conduct, covering the frying pan incident and two other cases against him, in exchange for a no-jail sentence known as a conditional discharge.

“I don’t want to talk to the press,” Gruber said as he left the courthouse. “They ruined my image. They said I was dealing drugs.”

Gruber, 29, was referring to a case, which has since been dismissed over a suppression issue, alleging that he and some pals possessed a stash of meth and a loaded gun April 5 inside a Hilton hotel room.

Calvin Klein’s former arm candy has appeared to have landed on hard times since splitting from the fashion icon in 2012.

Klein was 68 when he started dating Gruber, then 20, and it was the designer’s first public gay romance.

Gruber, who has had numerous run-ins with the law, was busted with co-defendant Brandon Steele for allegedly bludgeoning an unnamed victim with a frying pan Sept. 3, 2018, inside an apartment on East 76th Street.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim sustained several broken backbones, a nearly severed ear and damage to his eye socket.

On March 5, inside the same Upper East Side building, Gruber allegedly broke into an apartment and swiped a bag of methamphetamine and a package of newly delivered clothes, court papers charge.

Three months later, Gruber was arrested again on trespass raps for allegedly changing the locks on a friend’s Lower East Side apartment twice after she let him crash there, a complaint says.
