A man is only as good as his word, right? So out country entertainer Steve Grand is a fine fellow for making good on his promise to post video of his recent nude fund-raising effort on behalf of the ubiquitous Ice Bucket Challenge. To date people willing to be doused with freezing water (or some clever variation) on camera have raised close to $100 million for ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Being conscious of the world shortage in much of the world and having a penchant for showing off his chiseled physique, Grand took a nude dive into the frigid waters of Lake Superior after he performed in nearby Duluth, Minnesota.
Grand posted the following note on his YouTube channel today:
In addition to ALS, I chose to donate to two other charities I feel passionate about. I encourage everyone out there to find a cause you are passionate about, do your research, and donate according to your means. Remember, numerous little donations are what make the biggest differences!
Watch Grand take the plunge below and watch other celebs take the challenge here and here.

That was naked? Didn’t even see his butt. Beautiful man, though.

Didn’t you guys just call Dan Osborn a narcissist for doing this for the Ice Bucket Challenge?

*eye roll*

@Xzamilio: Did ingyaom do that because he is the only one who posted before you did and I certainly don’t recall doing any such thing.
Anyway, this man is so beautiful. <3 <3 <3

I doubt showing full frontal will increase his CD sales.

You can see his butt better in his All American Boy music video.

And when is that CD coming out? He is gorgeous, but shouldn’t “singer’s” have actual songs? You know….more than a couple Youtube hits? Less gym…..more singing. Unless of course, he wants to switch careers.

@DarkZephyr: I’m talking about Queerty. God, do you always have to make everything about you, dude?

Over hyped anticlimactic video…Dan Osborn vid had a better payoff

MMDD
I swear there is something about this guy that just oozes “gay for pay” to me. Has he been connected sexually or romantically with another guy at all?
DarkZephyr
@Xzamilio: Interesting, the only thing I can find that Queerty said about Dan Osbourne doing the Bucket Challenge was “Thank God Dan Osborne Did The Ice Bucket Challenge Naked” and then some stuff about him being Gay America’s British boyfriend. You must have read the article where he was called a narcissist somewhere else.
Xzamilio
@DarkZephyr: Sigh… here: http://www.queerty.com/scruff-unveils-new-philanthropic-endeavor-20140904
Now leave me alone.
Xzamilio
@DarkZephyr: Actually, no… don’t leave me alone. Do you, my good man… who am I to tell you what to do?
DarkZephyr
@Xzamilio: OK, I definitely stand corrected. You are right. They did write an article about how grateful they were that he did the challenge naked (http://www.queerty.com/thank-god-dan-osborne-did-the-ice-bucket-challenge-naked-20140822)and then turn around and call him narcissistic in another for the very same thing (that THEY promoted in the first damned place). And I have to say that you were quite right to call them out for it. Now your initial comment actually makes sense, in context. Here they are yet again promoting another hot guy taking his clothes off for the challenge after saying its “narcissistic” for another hot guy to do it in another article. I do apologize for being a fucking idiot about it. Not just a plain, run of the mill idiot, but a *fucking* idiot. This will teach me (I hope, humans can be pretty persistent in their stupidity after all) not to leap to conclusions after having only a portion of the facts. Something I should already know well enough not to do.
Xzamilio
@DarkZephyr: Wow. Thank you…that is really big of you. I’m going to uncheck the “Notify me button” lol but let me also apologize for my general crabbiness. You really took the piss and vinegar out of me with that lol. I gotta admit that took me down a peg.
DarkZephyr
@Xzamilio: Well, you are very welcome. 🙂 I appreciate your magnanimous response. And I accept your apology. I have to say that I admire your skills at debating with folks online. I am pretty sure I saw you commenting on another site under an article about religious folks tossing their LGBT kids out of their homes. I think it was a Rolling Stone article. At least whoever it was was using the name “Xzamilio”. There were those trying to make excuses for religions and just blaming it on the people as if the damaging teachings themselves were not to blame and you were NOT letting them get away with it. lol Good job!
Xzamilio
@DarkZephyr: Damn… the internet is a lot smaller than I thought lol… that is me 🙂
