It was only a matter of time that something was on its way to replace the famous ‘no make-up selfie’ and the epicness that was the ice bucket challenge and here it is …. #feelingnuts.
The campaign is set out to raise awareness for testicular cancer and unlike the ALS challenge #FeelingNuts doesn't require any cold water (
) or donation, it just takes a photo of a crotch grab to encourage men to regularly feel their testicles for any abnormalities.A SFW one preferred gentlemen!
The trend has begun to spread its way across the interwebs with the latest snap posted by the one and only Hugh Jackman.

In his picture the X-men star challenged the hilarious Ricky Gervais who of course didn’t disappoint with this epic 'grab'.
But here is Hugh’s again in slow motion …. just because.
Stephen Fry, Jamie Oliver and 5SOS are also amongst the celebrities taking on the challenge.
