Chris Evans Breaks His Silence on That NSFW Photo!
Over the weekend, actor Chris Evans went viral after accidentally sharing an NSFW photo on his Instagram Story.
Evans posted a video of himself playing the game Heads Up! with his younger brother, actor Scott Evans, but millions of his Instagram followers caught a glimpse of his camera roll at the end of the video, which revealed a still photo of private parts that many assumed to be his.
The politically active Evans finally addressed the snafu on Monday, tweeting, “Now that I have your attention.... VOTE Nov 3rd!!!”
The following day, Chris made a direct statement when asked about the photo by Tamron Hall on a new episode of her talk show. When she asked, "What happened, Chris?" the "Avengers" star at first made light of the situation, jokingly asking, “Something happened this weekend?”

His humorous take mirrored his brother Scott's reaction after the explicit photo spread online. Scott had tweeted, “Was off social media for the day yesterday. So. What'd I miss?”
Kidding aside, Chris went on to admit to Tamron, “It was an interesting weekend full of lessons learned, a lot of teachable moments. Things happen. It's embarrassing, but you gotta roll with the punches."
Chris then thanked his fans for defending him, saying, "I will say, I have pretty fantastic fans who came to my support.
Chris' Marvel co-star Mark Ruffalo was one of those coming to his aid. He tweeted, “.@ChrisEvans Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself. See... silver lining.”

I know you can change the settings but I like it. Tons of pics of the kids between families, easy when it saves. It just means that every once in a while there is a crazy random meme I don't recall in my roll!

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?
