Fergie's fiancee Josh Duhamel's nude pictures

I am totally shocked to hear that he did this! I know that before he made it "big," he wasn't what you'd call poor. I know he earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology at Minot State and gave up his dream to become a dentist when his grades were not good enough to get in a dental college. At that point in his life, he moved to California where he got discovered while posing for fashion magazines.  I have not actually seen the nude pictures, but I'm wondering, is it possible these nude photos have something to do with his career as a model in the fashion industry?

Everybody wants a chance at 15 minutes of fame, some of us are more willing than others to go the extra mile to get them, and I think this is the case here.

Sometimes when actors/models are first starting in the business, they don't have a lot of money. I'm guessing he did it during a time when he was young and poor, and was just trying to find a way to pay the bills. I wonder though, now that he's famous, if he regrets doing it.
