Chris Rock strips for charity

The 45-year-old comedian offered his services at a fundraising event earlier this week, with 46-year-old Mariska happily parting with her cash for the honour.

The Children's Defense Fund benefit was celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Beat the Odds scholarships, for youngsters who defeat obstacles to go on to become successful students.

A host of stars took part to help raise money, with one of the evening’s most unusual outcomes being the announcement of Chris’ nude waiter offer.

NY Daily News reported how board member Ali Wentworth told crowds Chris would bring breakfast in bed to one lucky attendee if they donated $25,000. Apparently, nobody was bidding, so Ali then added that the star would offer the service completely nude, which seemed to boost interest rather substantially. 

It was finally television and movie star Mariska who emerged as the lucky recipient of the naked breakfast delivery.

"Chris, get ready to get naked for Mariska Hargitay!" announced Ali.

Irish actress Katie McGrath was also present at the fundraiser, and made a donation of $25,000.
