AXM Magazine asked a wild bunch of British music and TV celebrities to strip off for a sexy naked shoot. The daring pictures, shot by Cameron McNee, hope to raise awareness for cancer research and to encourage young guys to be healthy and check themselves.

The youngest of them all is 18-year-old Anthony Hannah, a student from Liverpool, once a leading member of pop band Eton Road, made popular by British television music talent show ‘X Factor’. Anthony left the band in August 2007, and has since been in the recording studio or gigging up and down Britain, including an appearance at London’s biggest gay club, G-A-Y. He still lives in the same house with his grandparents, three sisters and his brother. And his only secret to a lean body is… sushi. Yeah, right.

The other naked guy of ‘X Factor’ fame is 19-year-old Max George. He is actually one fifth of Avenue, the band who got disqualified from the show two years ago.

Hipster Vincent Frank, 22, AKA Frankmusik has the best natural butt of the bunch. Vincent is a DJ, producer and remixer who has worked with many influential soundboard heavy-hitters, including Stuart Price, co-producer of Madonna’s Confessions on a Dancefloor. Frank’s goal is to make great pop music with self-imposed limits. “I’ve found that the most important thing about creativity is limiting myself. Setting myself a brief,” he says. “That’s the difference between pop and jazz, and I make pop music.”

Last but not least, 22-year-old Royal Marine commando David McIntosh (above) poses in a pair of red boxing boots. He’s also known — and most famous — as ‘Tornado’ in Sky One’s TV entertainment show ‘Gladiators’. And exactly how did he get that killer body? “I’m in the Marines. I’m a Royal Marines Commando, so we do all the training,” David explained in a recent press release. “Our training is very aggressive and physical, so doing the Gladiator training was nothing really.”

Nothing really. And most definitely not sushi.
