'For the month of October, I’ll be painting one nail to represent this statistic and raise awareness and funds to end violence against children.'

The Polished Man initiative is an ongoing project by YGAP, an international non-for profit organisation aiming to alleviate poverty.
The campaign is gaining momentum as stars like Chris spread the word.
Other well-known Australians who have previously got behind the initiative include The Bachelor's Sam Wood and former Olympic swimmer Michael Klim.

Underbelly star Gyton Grantley and AFL legend Chris Judd have also shown their support.

Chris sold his timepiece for $20,000, with TAG Heuer CEO Jean-Claude Biver and the hunky actor each adding $5,000.
Late last year, the former soap star raised over $275,000 for the charity by auctioning an array of prize packages during the Audi Australia Film Gala screening of his film, In The Heart Of The Sea.
Chris also took part in the AFL's 2014 Everything's Possible campaign and donated his fees to the Foundation.
