Chris Evans accidentally shared an NSFW photo of what appeared to be his penis with his over six million follower count in a blunder while trying to share a video of his family.

In the now-deleted Instagram story post, it seems that Evans may have accidentally shown a screen recording of his camera roll, revealing a meme of himself and a photo of an erect penis. Many fans assumed that the nude was his, but, since Evans has not responded to it publicly himself, interested viewers have yet to truly know.

A few of Evans’ celebrity friends, including his brother Scott Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Chrissy Tiegen have responded to the mishap with both jokes about “dick pics” and reassurance.

Evans’ post, however, has garnered a reaction from more than his friends on Twitter. Though some have chosen to share the screenshots they got of the story before it was taken down, the majority of the posts are fans spamming the Chris Evans tag with innocuous photos and memes of him to prevent the photos from making even larger rounds on social media.

The response to the photo on Twitter was overwhelmingly positive, which many fans were grateful for, but also led people to question why women who had their nudes leaked were never given the same consideration. Vanessa Hudgens, Jennifer Lawrence and Bella Thorne had all had similar scandals in the past, and Twitter users pointed out that not only were their photos spread around, but they were also degraded by fellow celebrities and commenters alike.

Ultimately, though, despite some fans’ best efforts, the photos Evans posted are still trending on Twitter, and dozens of screenshots can be found tagged with his name.
