Hugh Jackman, Jamie Oliver and 5SOS are making #feelingnuts the new #icebucketchallenge
Here it is guys - the next viral social media campaign.
Hugh Jackman and other celebrities are getting the ball rolling - ha! - on a social media campaign, #feelingnuts, to raise awareness for testicular cancer.

Bonus! Here's a video of Hugh Jackman #feelingnuts in slow-mo:
