CELEBRITIES including Hugh Jackman are going below the belt for a new social media campaign to raise awareness of testicular cancer.

Hugh Jackman and 5SOS join other celebrities for new online campaign to support cancer #FeelingNuts

ARRIVING on the back of the Ice Bucket Challenge, a new social media campaign has arrived to raise awareness for testicular cancer.

Unlike the viral ALS #IceBucketChallenge, #FeelingNuts doesn’t ask for money or any ice or cold water.

It’s as simple as taking a photo of a crotch grab.

Organisers of this building viral craze are hoping it will encourage men to regularly check their testicles for changes.

The #FeelingNuts campaign was launched in late August with a number of high profile Aussies taking part, including 5 Seconds of Summer and most recently, Hugh Jackman.

The Australian performer posted this video to social media this morning.

The new challenge, created by a British organisation called Check One Two, works the same way as the #Ice Bucket Challenge with ‘crotch grabbers’ required to nominate 3 people to complete the simple task.

Here’s a look at some of the best so far.
