Think the rumor stems from Claude Mauriac's diary ("Le temps immobile") 's third instalment ("Et comme l'espérance est violente".)
Ckaude Mauriac was a pretty active member of the GIP and thus became pretty intimate with both men.
In one of the diary's entry ('round 1972), he reports how one evening he was invited to Deleuze's appartment for supper and found him and Foucault litterally amusing themselves to death before the TV screen - Foucault later explain Mauriac how it was all because Deleuze pictured them on the other side of the screen, casting Foucault as the figurehead of a well known brand of razors (for obvious reasons) and himself modeling for a brand of underwear (due to how their ads routinely display beefcake, I suppose).
If you want me to pinpoint the reference, i'll do a quick search through my collection ...
Anyway : these ads are pure creations of Deleuze's fevered brain ...

In his 'French Intellectual Nobility', Niilo Kauppi claims that "in
the 1970s, noted philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault could
be seen advertising men's underwear" (p.3).
I find this hard to believe - anone know what Kauppi is alluding to?
