Why These Male Celebrities Have Painted One Fingernail

Hollywood’s biggest actors are raiding their girlfriends’ nail polish stash for a great cause. Zac Efron, the Hemsworth brothers, and more celebs are painting a single, solitary nail for the Polished Man project, which fights to end child violence. 1 in 5 children globally suffer from child violence.

Like the insanely viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, you nominate friends to join in after you’ve participated.

I'm a @YGAP #polishedman Being a @PolishedMan isn't just about remembering to buy flowers, how many rounds you shout, or how much you lift. It's about saying no to violence against children. That's why this October I'm painting my nail and asking you to donate to help the 1 in 5 kids globally who are subjected to physical or sexual violence before they turn 18. And I nominate @liamhemsworth @zacefron @robertdowneyjr @renner4real @markruffalo @twhiddleston nail it to end it. Become a polished man here www.polishedman.com @auschildhood , thanks to @laurapanton

Polished Man has been a thing for several years now. Every October, the project holds a fundraiser for trauma recovery programs for children. It was all inspired by a young girl named Thea, who was physically and sexually abused at an orphanage.

What a great cause!
