Ansel Elgort’s nude photos help raise over $200k for coronavirus charity after sending fans into a frenzy
There can really be no fault in our movie stars when they post nudes for charity, the most recent emblem of the concept being none other than himself. 'The Fault in our Stars' Ansel Elgort actor took to Instagram to share some of his nudes photos from the shower that managed to send his followers into a frenzy. But smart and wise that the 'Erudite' member is, he also promised more exclusive content for his fans through a link which when clicked, would direct the user to a Brooklyn based COVID-19 charity.
“OnlyFans LINK IN BIO,” Elgort captioned his photo, leaving fans thirsty and swimming in the delusion that he really had hopped into the direct pay adult play platform that has become quite the craze amongst new-age influencers, where they post explicit content up for paid view. Unsuspecting fans who fell into the trap clicked on the link and were probably disappointed to find themselves on a page where they could make a donation to 'Brooklyn for Life!'
The charity organized by actor Jeffrey Wright has been providing roughly 2,500 meals a day to Brooklyn’s first responders and health care workers. They use donations to purchase food from 38 Brooklyn-based restaurants, while also raising critically needed funds via GoFundMe, even though they have been able to surpass just 20% of their million-dollar fundraising goal.
But disappointed or not, there's no denying Elgort's attempts at raising awareness. More of a first-come, first-serve situation, those hoping to see the young adult under an outdoor shower with his modesty covered with nothing but his hand can't enjoy the view anymore. The infamous nude was taken down after Instagram directed the actor to do so, as it clashed with the community guidelines and violated Terms of Service. In response, Elgort took to his Instagram stories to smile, saying: "Sorry that I offended anybody but we did a good thing!”
The Manhattan-born star thanked his fans for donating, labeling his clickbaity stunt 'worth it', while also offering a due nod to his photographer father Arthur Elgort, who apparently captured the glorious shot and was miffed that he wasn't given proper photo credits.
