NFL Star Tony Gonzalez and Wife October Pose Naked for PETA

The husband and wife pose naked to support PETA's anti-fur ad in a bid to raise awareness on the danger of exploiting animals.

Tony Gonzalez, the football tight end for the Atlanta Falcons, lends his muscular body to support People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)'s anti-fur ad. With the companion of his wife October, the twosome takes their clothes off and poses naked for the lens.

In his attempt to encourage people to stop wearing fur and eating meat, Tony is quoted as telling reporters, "We should be protecting animals, not sacrificing their lives for the sake of fashion or luxury." He also says, "October and I have changed many of our habits in light of the inhumane treatment of animals that occurs not only in the fur industry but also on factory farms."

In a behind-the-scenes interview with PETA, Tony opens up about the benefit he's got after ditching meat and dairy products two years ago. "I'm going into my 13th year in the NFL, and I switched over [to a plant-based diet] two years ago. ... [T]he day after a game, everybody's sore ... and I'm jumping rope and they're looking at me like, 'Man you're supposed to be the old guy on the team. You're acting like you're the youngest guy on the team'," he enthuses.

On having his wife October posing naked for the cause, Tony comments "My wife is a pretty woman. She's like a flower. It's nice to be looked at."
