Gabrielle Union Reacts to Dwyane Wade's Nude Photo Shoot

But why was Wade so nervous initially?

Like most people, he has insecurities about his body. And in the magazine's recently published cover story, Wade acknowledged that some people may look at him and wonder why he would be insecure about his athletic body.

"Well, this is real life and I'm human," he explained, "and these are the things that I deal with that many others might deal with." Wade was most insecure as a child over his outie belly button. In fact, he never wanted to take off his shirt as a child. However, he grew more comfortable with himself over the years and learned to stand in his "naked truth"—which, ironically, is also the tagline of his underwear collection.

Confidence looks good on Wade, who seemed anything but anxious at Tuesday's event. "Dwayne was super friendly as people came up to chat and take photos with him," a fellow partygoer tells E! News. "He was smiling the entire time."
