ZACH Galifianakis agrees to pose in woman's swimsuit for Vanity Fair

AN ACTOR agrees to wear a women's swimsuit and be snapped in five suggestive poses.

Funnyman ... Actor Zach Galifianakis, pictured with Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms in a scene from the 2009 film The Hangover, is to be photographed in a woman's swimsuit.

ZACH Galifianakis has been given the honour to strip to his lady swimsuit for Vanity Fair's Swimsuit Calendar for its November issue.

With the mag dubbing him their "November Vanities girl", Zach strips to a one-piece fuchsia swimsuit while sitting on a sandy shore.

For the issue, the funnyman is willing to cross-dress in five different suggestive poses with Sam Jones serving behind the lens. The Youth in Revolt actor joins models/actresses who have previously posed in swimwear for the mag, including Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima and Gisele Bundchen.

The swimsuit shots aside, Zach Galifianakis will be seen reprising his role as Alan Garner in The Hangover 2.

The actor, along with castmates Ed Helms, Justin Bartha and Bradley Cooper, has begun filming the movie which "takes place in Bangkok and L.A.," director Todd Phillips told MTV. The film itself is slated for release next year.
