ANDERSON Cooper is shy about his body!

The CNN star has been asked to strip off for Playgirl magazine — but a source close to Cooper thinks it’s unlikely, because the silver fox doesn’t like taking his clothes off.

“He doesn’t even get naked in the changing rooms,” a source told the New York Daily News.

Meanwhile, Cooper is worried he’ll go blind.

The CNN star — whose eyeballs were scorched and was blinded for 36 hours after he filmed a 60 Min­utes segment in a coastal area of Portugal a few weeks ago — fears he could lose his sight permanently.

“Anderson is trying to remain calm – and even joking about it on TV – but despite the bravado, he’s really freaked out,” a source said.

“He’s been ex­posed to the sun for extended periods of time covering news stories in the field over the years. Now he’s won­dering what the long-term effects of that exposure could be.

“Anderson’ s convinced he could lose his eye­sight for good.”

Doctors say it’s crucial to wear sunglasses or goggles, or at least a wide-brimmed hat, to protect the eyes in bright sunlight.

“Because he’s on camera, Anderson doesn’t do any of that,” said the source. “But NOW he’s convinced that as a re­sult he’s at greater risk for permanent eye damage. Even his mother is wor­ried sick.”
