Laughing it off! Mark Ruffalo and Scott Evans jokingly teased Chris Evans after the Captain America star appeared to accidentally post a NSFW photo of himself.
Ruffalo, 52, made light of the situation via Twitter on Saturday, September 12. “@ChrisEvans Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself,” the actor wrote to his Avengers costar. “See … silver lining.”
Chris’ younger brother Scott, 36, chimed in with his own joke on Sunday, September 13. “Was off social media for the day yesterday. So. What’d I miss?” the Grace and Frankie actor tweeted.
The Knives Out star, 39, became a trending Twitter topic on Saturday after he appeared to post and delete a nude pic. Chris shared a video via his Instagram Story of himself and some friends playing a game of Heads Up. The end of the clip showed the actor’s camera roll, which included a black-and-white photo of a penis that fans assumed was his. The camera roll also included a meme of Chris with the words “Guard That P–sy.”
