The June 2010 Cosmopolitan UK naked centerfolds special is dubbed “21 Naked Men in the Morning,” and supposedly isn’t “just for fun,” but also to raise awareness for testicular cancer. Would you skip your morning cuppa joe for this?
The shoot features a haphazard string of male celebrities including Jesse Metcalfe, Nigel Barker, Craig David, Adam Garcia, Ugo Monye, a creepy Doug Reinhardt and a creepier Stephen Baldwin. While I’m not entirely sure how much awareness the June 2010 Cosmopolitan UK shoot raises for testicular cancer, it definitely raises heartbeats (or eyebrows).
