'Pursuing my love of nude meditation!' Josh Duhamel jokes about 'taking a little break from acting' on April Fools' Day

Josh Duhamel fully embraced April Fools' Day this year - and was sure to cause a female fan frenzy in the process.

'Taking a little break from acting to pursue my love of nude meditation,' the 42-year-old actor joked on Instagram on Wednesday.

Josh recently spoke about how he hopes to grow his family with Fergie - as soon as she has time.

He told Extra: 'I would love to, she would love to, but right now it’s about figuring out when it’s going to happen.

'She’s recording and probably going on tour, and the plan is sometime after that, maybe before... Maybe I can knock her up tonight.'
