WACKY WEDNESDAY | Meet the Australian Naked Skydiving Violinist [GO-PRO]

Australian violinist Glen Donnelly celebrating his 30th birthday ... performing Vaughan Williams' 'Lark ... Descending' ... naked - whilst skydiving ...

Australian violinist Glen Donnelly celebrating his 30th birthday this week ... performing Vaughan Williams' 'Lark ... Descending' ... naked - whilst skydiving above Coffs Harbour, Australia.

The stunt and world record attempt was organized to raise funds for three men’s eating disorder and body image charities: ‘The Butterfly Foundation’, ‘Nude Movement’ and ‘The Mankind Project’.

“At age 18 after one comment from a fellow musician about my tubby belly I started silently sucking it in 24/7 … creating a mental and physical prison in my body that would lead to a breakdown in 2013 … ” the musician has said.

“It’s time men stopped sucking it up … it’s time men started letting it out … ” he has said.

To date, Glen has raised $3,606 of his $15,000 AUD target.
