Furry Friday: Ben Cohen

We haven’t seen much of LGBT ally and rugby icon Ben Cohen in some time. Long time readers know Ben frequently adorned the pages of The Randy Report, especially as he was launching his anti-bullying StandUp Foundation.

Ben announced he wasn’t doing his annual calendar this year as he felt his body wasn’t up to the visual.

I’m certain it was, and is 🙂

But let’s celebrate a little Furry Friday with this gif from a couple of years ago.

Ben Cohen Launches New Fragrance For Men

Hunky, handsome retired rugby champ and LGBT ally Ben Cohen has launched his own fragrance, Ben Cohen For Men.

Because, let’s face it, don’t you want to know what he smells like?

Now, at least YOU can smell like him.

From Herald & Post:

“I never thought I’d be one day launching a fragrance, but here I am! And I’m glad I am.

“It has been a great journey doing this – from being approached by a company to launch my own fragrance, through to choosing a scent and then seeing the finished product.

“I really like the fragrance because the company that created it have delivered what I want – which is a fresh, woody and cirtrusy smell.

“In fact, I am using it all the time now – like water! Well, maybe not like water, but I do use it a lot.”

The 36-year-old’s new fragrance has been described on the Superdrug website as having a ‘fresh aroma that is both rugged but mellow, with top notes of citrus and an underlying woody scent it has been designed to appeal to men of all ages’.

And just to remind you… 🙂

Calendar: Ben Cohen 2015 Teaser

Via OutSports, Ben Cohen – the founder of the anti-bullying Stand Up Foundation – gets a little wet and hits the showers for his first ever centerfold.

Ben Cohen’s StandUp Foundation today released the cover image of the rugby World Cup champion’s 2015 calendar, a perennial favorite for gay sports fans worldwide. The cover was shot by Chicago celebrity photographer, Bret Grafton.

The real story though, is buried inside – a centerfold of Cohen in a locker room shower (see it in the gallery above), exclusively released to Outsports. It is the first time the calendar has offered a centerfold, and the first time Cohen has shot one. It was captured by Los Angeles photographer Edwin Santiago. What is fully revealed won’t be known until the 2015 calendar ships, closer to the holidays. It is available for pre-orders through his StandUp Foundation shop at www.standupfoundation.com.

Cohen also released new additions to his sold-out underwear line: briefs and trunks in the StandUp brand’s signature blue, produced by Blue Buck.

“It’s all cheeky fun,” said Cohen, “if you will pardon the pun. But, mostly, that fun is done for a serious cause that I feel incredibly passionate about, and I am glad the products help us do so much good.”

Proceeds from Cohen’s products under the StandUp mark benefit his Foundation, the world’s first dedicated to anti-bullying and LGBT equality in sports.
