PHOTO: Adam Richman Poses Nude(ish) For Cosmo UK

If you’ve ever secretly wished you could rip an Adam Richman poster out of a Tiger Beat, like the shirtless *NSync pullouts of yore, all you have to do is get your hands on a Cosmo UK. He’s this month’s “Centrefold,” and he’s totally naked, with the exception of a soccer ball demurely covering his bits.

Reads the excerpt:

“To go from hating the way I looked to being a Cosmo centrefold is a profound honour. If you’re a guy who’s always been the fun-to-be-around teddy bear, then all of a sudden people are viewing you as sexy, it’s nice. It’s great not having to be the plucky best friend, or the comic relief anymore — I love that. Who wouldn’t rather hear, ‘Wow, you look great,’ than ‘Ewww…’?”

Feast your eyes:

Thank you @AdamRichman you have just made my day!! Your hot now but I'v always thought you were a hottie #mynumber1 pic.twitter.com/F880EaWwES

As the plucky best friends, can we just say: THOSE MAN-HIPS, THOUGH.
