Naked Bottas calendar raises $150,000 for charity despite his mum’s concerns
The calendar was created by photographer Paul Ripke and resulted from the interest in the prints Bottas sold last year. It quickly sold out, so more copies were printed. Bottas clarified to his mother that the aim was to raise funds for prostate cancer research, which reassured her. Bottas expressed his gratitude on social media for the support and revealed that the project raised around $150k for Movember. The calendar project came about as a joke between Bottas and Ripke, and they decided to do it for charity, specifically for prostate cancer research. Bottas aimed to be an example and not be shy about discussing men’s health issues. He had to explain the charity aspect to his mother and others who questioned his decision to strip for the calendar, but everyone had fun and understood the purpose at the art gallery event.
