Johnny Vegas, clasping his chest and with his legs expertly placed, has very narrowly managed to avoid a serious nude leak.
Were not kidding.
The Benidorm comedian, 47, had offered up his body to pose for Exposed: The Naked Portrait exhibition, and the shot in question really is something.
Pictured before his recent weight loss, he is perched on a stool throwing a look down the camera that screams renaissance and paint me like one of your French girls.
Hes wearing a pair of gold hoop earrings and a chunky ring, and covering up his nipples so perfectly hed surely be able to flout Instagrams uploading rules (you know…if he were a woman).
Hes joined for the National Portrait Gallerys exhibition by the likes of Joe Orton, Yoko Ono, John Lennon, Naomi Campbell, David Frost, Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, Charlotte Rampling and Linford Christie.

So hes got some great naked company there.
It comes after the actor showed off a recent health kick that saw him lose a noticeable about of weight last month.
Apologising to his followers for his recent lack of updates, Vegas said on 18 July that hed been busy of late and treating our chats like a bacon butty – sadly an all-too-rare treat of late.
It's a far cry from a Thatto Heath fry up….ooh you've changed Vegas.

With tasty bacon sandwiches no longer on the menu, the 47-year-old also shared an image of the sort of meals hes been tucking into instead – with the equally-scrumptious avocado, tomatoes and scrambled eggs the order of the day.
Fair play to you, Johnny.

A number of his followers voiced their congratulations to Vegas, including the Sunday Brunch programme and YouTuber Luke Cutforth.
Exposed: The Naked Potrait opens in the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle this Autumn.
