One man in London is taking his public mask wearing to his privates.

Tim Shieff, a 32-year-old former “Ninja Warrior UK” contestant, startled Londoners when he took to Oxford Street wearing nothing but a face mask fashioned into a G-string that (barely) covered his privates, mocking a new law that has mandated mask-wearing in public.

The Connecticut-born athlete is also a world champion freerunner and vegan YouTube sensation, according to the Daily Mail, and known for stunts like admitting to eating meat despite railing against eating animals.

Shieff’s publicity stunt is reminiscent of Chelsea Handler, who recently took to Instagram while working out wearing sneakers, leggings and two face masks tied together and strategically placed to cover her chest.
