In a range of different shots, Bezuidenhout poses in various Christmas-themed outfits with changing backdrops.
He captioned the pictures: “@heidiklum wasn't available for this shoot and they needed someone to fill in urgently. Always willing to help out these models on short notice. Merry Krismis ❤️📷 @margueriteandroy_photography”
Industry friends and followers were eager to undress his timeline with funny comments.

Bezuidenhout told IOL Entertainment: “ In February, I posted some nude model shoot pix that my friend, Marguerite, and I did as a joke, and it really went down well. People enjoyed it.
“She lives in Cape Town, and I am here in Cape Town now for shows, and so I told her we should recreate that shoot for Christmas.
“We shot it on Wednesday. She edited it and sent it to me the same day. I posted it today.
“I like doing stuff like that sometimes just to make people laugh, and I’m glad people enjoyed it now or a second time.
“ It went down such a treat at the begging of the year, and so I had to do it again for Christmas.”
Bezuidenhout recently married his long-time partner, Mica McKechnie.
