Mark Ruffalo and Samuel L. Jackson are showing off their nipples to bring awareness to breast cancer in men. The Avengers co-stars posted shirtless selfies of their nipples on Twitter in support of the #InTheNipOfTime campaign. See the photos below.
The #InTheNipOfTime campaign was started by One For The Boys, an organization that aims to educate men and bring awareness to male cancer. Its latest social media campaign asks men to “check your chests, show us your selfies and spread the word.”
Ruffalo shared his shirtless selfie with the message, “Men get breast cancer too. I’m supporting @One4TheBoys #InTheNipOfTime campaign. Learn more: www.onefortheboys.com.” And Jackson posted a very up close picture of his nipple and urged his followers to do the same, “Checkin’ Myself before I Wreck Myself!! Taken #InTheNipOfTime All in aid of @One4theBoys Get Ur Nips Out! Your Turn!”
Ruffalo and Jackson were joined by soccer player Jim Hamilton, who wrote, “Raising awareness for breast cancer in men @onefortheboys #InTheNipOfTime #tweetyournipple #nippleselfie.”
While they have yet to share their topless selfies, other celebrities who have teamed up with One For The Boys include Anthony Anderson, Michael Douglas, and Richard Roundtree. The three stars appear in a short film on the organization’s website talking about their own personal experiences with cancer.
