MALE STARS BARE ALL FOR FRENCH PHOTOG



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – What do hunky stars like Vin Diesel, Rick Schroder and Jackie Chan have in common? They’ve bared it all for French photographer Veronique Vial. All three are pictured showering in the buff in Vial’s new book, Men Before 10 AM Too (Powerhouse Books), which captures famous men during their everyday morning routines. The photographer says she wanted to catch the glamour boys being “real” and followed each man around like a shadow to get the steamy candid shots. Vial also snapped Patrick Dempsey cleaning his ear and James Dean biopic star James Franco sitting on the toilet while he smokes a cigarette. She says she’s able to get such intimate pictures of the studs because she becomes “kind of invisible” whenever she starts to shoot – although she felt “flattered” that some of her male subjects were in a state of arousal when she was in the room.
