ANDY Cohen posted two sexy shirtless photos of his best friend Anderson Cooper on Instagram "without asking" for permission to "piss him off."
The first photo showed a shirtless Anderson staring seriously at the camera with a yellow buttercup weed tucked behind his ear.
The second shot showed the Anderson Cooper 360 host wearing a bathing suit and holding a white towel as he stood on the deck of a boat.
The Watch What Happens Live host captioned the post: "If it were a normal year, I’d be on vacation with my pal...threatening to post shirtless pics of him. Well, it’s 2020 and I’m sitting on my deck so I figured I’d just post without asking and piss him off!"
Andy captioned concluded with the hashtag #SilverFox.
Anderson, 53, recently got teary-eyed during his show after a coronavirus patient congratulated him following the surrogate birth of his son Wyatt.
The CNN anchorman announced the birth of his son back in April.
The emotional moment came to be when Anderson's co-worker Randi Kaye interviewed a healthcare worker who's battling the deadly coronavirus.
Despite her health issues, the healthcare worker told Randi: "On my behalf, could you please congratulate Anderson Cooper on his baby? I'm happy that he has a baby and that he's so cute."
Randi showed the anchorman the sweet shout-out, which made Anderson take off his glasses and wipe away his tears.
Randi told Anderson: "That was the only time she smiled, when she was talking about you and Wyatt.
"She has been in this dark place, she's been on a ventilator for months, she could lose her hands, she hasn't seen her kids in months ... and it's been a very scary time for her and she hasn't had any visitors but when we talked about you, she really lit up and she's really clung to that."
The new father assured Randi that he would reach out to the healthcare worker and talk to her.
Anderson shared adorable snaps with Wyatt back in July, which garnered attention from his celebrity friends.
In the photos, Anderson posed with his diaper-clad son.
The proud dad captioned the post: "Wyatt is 10 weeks old and doing great. He likes naps and milk and being read to. Thank you for all your lovely cards and messages!"
Andy, Tanya Sam, Diane Von Furstenberg and more gushed over the adorable photos in the comments section.
The WWHL host commented: "Love these daddy."
