Kansas City star Chris Jones had trouble putting on his thong for the ‘Real Full Monty’ charity striptease, according to comedian Anthony Anderson.
The defensive tackle, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 310 pounds, is among the celebrities participating in the upcoming show, in which stars will “strip naked in front of a live audience.”
Also participating will be actor James Van Der Beek, Broadway star Taye Diggs, actor and musician Tyler Posey and Dancing with the Stars judge Bruno Tonioli.
Anderson appeared this week on Live with Kelly and Mark ahead of the December 9 special. And he revealed that Jones is so “massive” that designers had to remake his underwear.
‘I think they had to bring extra material or some kind of strange material for her thong. I mean, the man is huge. “It’s huge,” the comedian said.
Anderson attempted to clarify his comments, jokingly adding: ‘I mean huge in height and weight, that’s what I’m talking about. Get your mind out of the gutter.

“I think they had to bring in extra material… the man is huge,” Anthony Anderson said.
Before joining the Chiefs, Jones made headlines at the NFL combine when he fell and his manhood fell out of his shorts.
Almost a decade later, he participates in ‘THe Real Full Monty’, which is inspired by the 1997 Oscar-nominated film. The striptease has been choreographed by actress Mandy Moore.
“He had a hard time putting up with the six of us,” Anderson joked. “(When) the first beat of the music hits and we’re on stage and the lights come on, we shine and we shake.”
Anderson said the real message behind the striptease is to “raise cancer awareness in men so they can go to the doctor and be screened for testicular, colorectal and pancreatic cancer.”
On Friday, Jones will line up for Kansas City as the back-to-back Super Bowl champions continue their quest for a third title against the Raiders.
