You really have to dig to find solutions, and I genuinely think The Shameless Fund is exactly that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n READ<\/b> Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson Share Playful PDA Photo After Viral Kiss<\/a><\/p>\n Beyond the opportunity to \u201cmake a real difference,\u201d Bailey sees the fund and its partnerships as a way to be \u201cfun and creative.\u201d And he isn\u2019t alone. In fact, he has brought along his famous friends to promote his recent collab with Cubitts.<\/span><\/p>\n Bailey\u2019s “Wicked” costar <\/span>Cynthia Erivo<\/a> donned the rose-tinted spectacles and promoted the brand on her <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a> last month.
