Michael Gambon and Melanie Laurent are among the stars who have stripped off to show their support for a sustainable fishing campaign.

Gambon, who played Professor Albus Dumbledore in the final six Harry Potter films shed his shirt and held a blowfish to promote the Fishlove project, which aims to raise awareness of over-fishing in Europe's seas, reported Contactmusic.

'Inglourious Basterds' star Laurent, who is pregnant with her first child, has posed topless with only a crab to preserve her modesty.

Famous faces including actors Arthur Darvill and Simon Callow, theatre director Steven Berkoff and actress Zoe Tapper also took part in the campaign.
 

"The fishing crisis is quite complex and difficult for people to understand, but this was so simple. It said everything that anyone needed to know about the fishing crisis: if we die out," Laurent said.
