Actor James Van Der Beek has a very personal reason for shedding his clothes on national TV.
While many might not like this news, the former Dawson’s Creek celeb joined others in stripping down to get more awareness for issues like prostate, colorectal, and testicular cancer.
This would be a part of the star-studded episode of the film The Full Monty from Fox. It will be hailed as a one-night special event that features some huge names in the industry that get in the buff for great causes.
Van Der Beek joined hands with other leading actors for the leading charity event but some fans had mixed reactions to his reason for taking part.
The actor says the cause for him really hit home as he’s suffering from a bad episode of stage 3 colorectal cancer. The actor also reflected on how the universe is hilarious and how he knew immediately in his heart that this was a cause for him that hit home.
He agreed that he didn’t have any stripping experience but his appearance and presence gave him the chance to address the disease publicly.
Van Der Beek explained to media outlet USA Today that there is nothing that resembles a male stripping past for me so this was something very new for him.
