Chris Evans, John Legend, & Other Male Celebs Who Have Leaked Photos Online
Fans are flooding social media with family-friendly photos of Chris Evans under his hashtag, in a bid to bury the explicit photo and protect his privacy
In case you missed it, Chris Evans was trending overnight and no, it’s not because of a new Captain America movie. The 39-year-old actor was sharing a screen recording of him and his friends playing Heads Up! on Instagram Stories, when his camera roll was flashed on-screen for a split second. That split second was enough for eagle-eyed netizens to spot an explicit photo on his camera roll. Read on for more information, as well as other male celebrities who have had their explicit photos leaked online.
Chris just wanted to share a video of him and his friends playing Heads Up!, but instead, flashed everyone with a photo of a penis by accident when he exposed his camera roll.
It is unclear whether the nude was of Chris Evans, or someone else. The Avenger actor had immediately removed the Instagram Story, but as with most things on the Internet, the screenshots quickly spread like wildfire.
His fans have urged people to respect his privacy and refrain from sharing the picture, highlighting that he struggles with anxiety and depression. They also took to sharing slightly more family-friendly content and images under the actor’s hashtags on social media, in a bid to drown out the explicit photo.
The actor didn't immediately comment on the accidental leak, but here’s a tweet from his former co-star Mark Ruffalo:

Update (Sep 15): Chris addressed the leak with a hilarious tweet.

We love Chrissy Teigen for so many reasons, and her brand of cheeky humour ranks high up on the list. The model has shared NSFW photos of herself before, and on a few occasions, explicit snaps of her husband John Legend.
Pop superstar Justin Bieber was caught baring it all by the paparazzi when he was holidaying in Bora Bora back in 2015. Less than a year later, he was snapped sans clothing again when he was skinny dipping in Hawaii. Also, here’s a photo that he shared on Instagram while camping. If there’s one thing that we learned from all of this, is that the dude likes to holiday in the nude. No judgements there though!
Instagram has pretty strict rules about nudity. According to their guidelines, you can’t post anything that shows “sexual intercourse, genitals, close-ups of fully-nude buttocks” and of course, “female nipples”. So when Jason Derulo posted a photo of himself wearing tight underwear that clearly shows the outline of his penis, leaving very little to the imagination, the social media platform took the post down. The singer wasn’t happy about it, and reposted the photo, arguing: “I have underwear on… I can’t help my size…” That got taken down again, so the 30-year-old relented and reposted a hilariously censored version of the picture.
