Chris Hughes bottling his own tears might be L'Eau de Chris. But what's really ludicrous is that suicide is still the biggest killer of men under 45.
Along with new research showing that 84% of UK men say they bottle up their emotions, Chris revealed that L'Eau de Chris and his shoot with world-renowned photographer, Rankin was actually a bit of fun designed to send a message to men around the UK - open up, #DontBottleItUp. Join us in saying #DontBottleItUp this World Mental Health Day.
