A few months ago, Fox announced that they were bringing The Real Full Monty to the States to raise money for a good cause.
And now we know who will be taking it all off to raise awareness for prostate, testicular, and colorectal cancer testing and research.
Anthony Anderson is going to be dancing barefoot and bare everywhere else with Taye Diggs, Chris Jones, Tyler Posey, Bruno Tonioli, and James Van Der Beek.
“Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked! That’s the message behind The Real Full Monty special,” said Anderson. “I am honored to lead the charge of rallying these fearless men to bare it all, in order to provoke, inspire and in this case, beg you to get screened for cancer. That’s our goal…so what are you waiting for!?”
During the two-hour special, Anderson will lead Diggs, Jones, Posey, Tonioli and Van Der Beek as they train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance, choreographed by Emmy Award-winner Mandy Moore, where they will bare all in front of a live audience. Leading up to the final disrobing, the men will push their limits of comfortability, modesty and brotherhood with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone and strengthen their bond as a group. Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives.
The Real Full Monty will air this Fall. I hope it is a huge sucess because I have two actor friends who want to do the show. And they would be perfect for the second season!
