Sam Smith

London (IANS) – Singer Sam Smith shed his clothes for a “naked selfie” as he urges fans to embrace their “beautiful human bodies”.

The singer has had struggles with body image. Last month, he revealed that he underwent liposuction surgery at the age of 12 after being targeted by bullies.

Smith, now 26, shared a topless selfie with his 12 million Instagram followers on Wednesday and said he spent the day naked to “celebrate this bod”, reports mirror.co.uk.

He wrote: “For my entire life I have always hated being naked. Today I decided to have a naked day and spend the day in my room and watch TV and read and eat what I want and just celebrate this bod.

“It has been so empowering and wonderful and f***ing fun. I think everyone should have a naked day once in a while and celebrate that beautiful human body of yours.

“Let it all hang out people.”

He added a heart, peach and aubergine emoji.

The “Stay with me” hitmaker was praised by fans in the comments section.
