Chris Evans Had the Best Response to His Nude-Photo Incident

Did Chris Evans just secure his place as the number one famous Chris with a single tweet? I think he did. 

But there's a backstory here. In case you missed it, the actor was trending on social media on September 12 after a NSFW photo (maybe of Evans) briefly appeared on his Instagram Stories. You see, he was posting a video, but it included a glimpse of his photo roll—and on that photo roll was a shot of a man's, well, member. The post was quickly deleted but not before it was screen-grabbed and widely circulated around the internet. 

Evans is now breaking his silence, and his response is pretty perfect. “Now that I have your attention .... VOTE Nov 3rd!!!” he tweeted. (Sorry, fans, he did not confirm or deny if the photo was, in fact, him.)

People are loving it—maybe even more than getting a glimpse of, um, another side of Captain America. “My boy! Proud of him. Got MY attention!” Jamie Lee Curtis tweeted. Billy Eichner replied with a link to Vote Save America, writing, “Some hot pics here.” 

Evans also took some mild social media ribbing from his brother Scott and Mark Ruffalo not long after the photo in question went public. “Was off social media for the day yesterday. So. What’d I miss?” Scott wrote. Ruffalo tweeted, ".@ChrisEvans Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself. See... silver lining.

But many Chris Evans fans were quick to flood social media with anything other than the photo that got him trending. 

We love how Evans handled the situation, but Kat Dennings made a solid point. “The public respect for Chris Evans’ privacy/feelings is wonderful. Wouldn’t it be nice if it extended to women when this kind of thing happens?” she tweeted. 

Amen to that.
