Benedict Cumberbatch Channels Mr. Darcy For Charity - And He's Hot

Celebrities know that a good way to draw attention to a good cause is by posing provocatively in the name of charity. British actor Benedict Cumberbatch did just that for a campaign called Give Up Clothes for Good.

In a sexy new photo, the "Star Trek" and "Sherlock" star channels Colin Firth, who played Mr. Darcy in the BBC adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride & Prejudice." Cumberbatch is depicted in a lake up to his waist, removing his clothing. The black and white image was taken by photographer Jason Bell.

It's all for a good cause - the campaign is raising money for cancer research and is being sponsored by Cancer Research U.K. and TK Maxx.

Other stars who have also posed for the campaign include Liam Neeson, Elijah Wood, Kate Winslet and Cynthia Nixon.
