Former rugby star Ben Cohen strips and
winks at gay fans in a behind-the-scenes video of his cover shoot for
UK gay glossy Attitude's
The Awards Issue (issue 237)
published earlier this year.
“Hi, I'm Ben Cohen. I'm on the set
of the Attitude magazine cover shoot,” Cohen, dressed in a
tuxedo, says in the 60-second video before stripping down for the
shoot. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
our video library for more videos.)
The openly straight Cohen, 35, retired
from rugby in 2011 and launched the Ben
Cohen StandUp Foundation to combat homophobia and the bullying of
LGBT teens. Cohen is particularly interested in promoting greater
acceptance in the world of sports.
On
Christmas Day, Cohen delighted his fans with a photo of himself
from his kitchen wearing a rainbow apron emblazoned with “Gay
Icon.”
“Wearing my apron with Pride whilst
cooking Christmas dinner!!!” he messaged on Twitter to his more
than 82,000 followers. “Merry Christmas.”
