Chris Evans accidentally posts nude photo, gets support from Mark Ruffalo and the internet

Chris Evans has been trending on Twitter for accidentally sharing a picture of a penis — and fans are trying to make sure it does not get circulated.

The “Captain America” star shared a video on Instagram Stories of him playing the charades game “Heads Up” yesterday, Sept. 12. However, the video turned out to be a screen recording, and when it ended, it went to the camera roll where an X-rated photo was seen, Just Jared reported.

Another photo visible in the camera roll was a meme of Evans with the statement “Guard that p*ssy”.

It is unclear whose screen recording the video was and who owns the leaked photo of a penis.

Fans on Twitter have been rallying behind Evans by posting photos of him with his dog to “cleanse” timelines when his name is searched on the social media platform.

Some also posted reminders that Evans suffers from anxiety and encouraged others to respect his privacy.

The fact that someone has to explain that it is not okay to violate someone's privacy like that is astounding, let alone the fact Chris Evans suffers from crippling anxiety. Everyone making jokes at Chris Evans' expense or sharing/saving the picture needs to grow up.

Evans’s “Avengers” costar Mark Ruffalo also gave him words of comfort in a tweet today, Sept. 13.

“Bro, while [President Donald] Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself. See… silver lining,” he said.
