In 1997, the world fell in love with The Full Monty. It is a movie about a group of men who decide to do a striptease to make money.
Twenty years later, ITV decided to turn that film into a reality special where several celebrities took all of their clothes to raise money for charity. The Real Monty was such a huge success that it has become an annual special in the UK and has been replicated worldwide.
Later this year, it is coming to America on Fox to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer testing and research.
During the two-hour special, The Real Full Monty’s male celebrity talent will train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance in front of a live audience. Leading up 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.
“Sadly, cancer continues to impact millions of people throughout the world; and while science has made great progress in developing a cure, it’s so important that we keep fighting the battle against this horrible disease,” said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming at FOX Entertainment. “Through The Real Full Monty, we are leveraging the immense reach and power of broadcast to air this important call-to-action to educate viewers about cancer. If The Real Full Monty saves even one life, then having these brave men sharing their personal and poignant experiences with cancer will have been worth it.”
This sounds like it is going to be the show of the year. And we should start stocking up on tissues now. Something the men on the show will not be able to use because we will know if they do!
I told my actor friend, who will be living with cancer for the rest of his life, to apply to be on the show. I hope he gets it. Although, I don’t know if I want to see him SFW naked.
Before James Marsen was a fairy tale Prince in Enchanted, he was Maggie’s Prince in The Nanny. How impressive was the 19-year-old’s on-camera debut in that 1993 episode?

Back in October 2020, Sinbad suffered an ischemic stroke, and since then, he has been recovering from it.
He has rarely been seen since it happened. However, this weekend, he Zoomed in to a Different World reunion at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
And today, he posted a video on Instagram to give his fans an update on how he is doing.
As you can hear, he sounds and looks great. However, it appears that he still has some paralysis on the left side of his body.
In the video, he wanted to thank everyone who has been praying for his recovery because it has been working. So much so that he said, “Expect to see more of me soon.”
Don’t be surprised if he is standing behind you. And if he is, don’t tell him I can’t believe you are here. That is because he wants you to believe it because “Miracles happen.” And they have happened to him.
I can’t wait to see him back doing what he loves and what we love him doing, and that is making us laugh until it hurts!
I met Sinbad at an event about a year before his stroke, and he is one of the nicest, most sincere people I have met in this town. So, I have been praying for him to have a full recovery.
