Will Ferrell is contributing his hot bod to charity Cancer for College. The comedian has stripped down to his most revealing beach attire to be the cover model of the Super Sex Hot Tan Sunscreen.
The bottle, which is being sold at a $25 may not seem so worth it for a simple bottle of sunscreen; even if Will Ferrel is on it. However, for the good cause that is behind the product most certainly is. The Cancer for College charity, which was founded by one of Ferrell’s close friends Craig Pollard was created to allow cancer survivors the chance of getting an education by paying for their college degrees. As many of us may know, cancer treatment is very expensive and financially burdensome, which at the end may not leave young adults the opportunity to attend university.
