Were clothes on or off?

If Tony Gonzalez and his wife October are wearing clothes in the new anti-fur advertisement from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, it must be visible only to them.

A day after the American media broke the news of the two appearing nude in the ad, the National Football League tight end said it is not entirely true. ‘We had clothes on,’ the Atlanta Falcons star told the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Previously, athletes and celebrities, such as Eva Mendes, Pamela Anderson, Tommy Lee and Dennis Rodman, have dropped their clothes for the ad campaign.

Still, after Gonzalez’s teammates saw the ad, the 33-year-old endured some old-fashioned locker room talk. Some of it concerned October, a stunning brunette.

Cornerback Chris Houston told CBSSports.com he is excited to see her. Another cornerback, Tye Hill, said: ‘I’m sure he’ll get some ripping for posing nude once everyone knows about it.’

But Gonzalez was not bothered. ‘I’m OK with it,’ he said. ‘My wife is a pretty woman. She’s like a flower. It’s nice to be looked at.’
