Anthony Anderson and others to strip for ‘Real Full Monty’

Anthony Anderson, James Van Der Beek and Tyler Posey are among the famous men set to bare all to raise awareness of cancer.

The “Black-ish” star has signed to executive produce and lead the cast of “The Real Full Monty,” a Fox special that will follow “a daring group of male celebrities” as they strip down to raise awareness for prostate, testicular and colorectal cancer testing and research in a real-life version of the classic 1997 movie The Full Monty.

Along with the “Dawson’s Creek” actor and the “Teen Wolf” star, Anderson will be joined by Taye Diggs, Kansas City Chiefs player Chris Jones and Bruno Tonioli as they are all put through their paces ahead of a striptease in front of a live audience. The striptease will be choreographed by Emmy winner Mandy Moore.

“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,” a description for the show added.

Anderson is “honored” to be leading the show, in which the stars will also discuss their experiences of cancer.

“Don’t die of embarrassment. Get checked! That’s the message behind ‘The Real Full Monty’ special,” he said in a statement.

“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!?” he added.

The program will air later this year. The format has proved popular overseas, having been broadcast with a different group of celebrities in the U.K. every year since 2017. The show is also produced in Australia, France and the Netherlands.
