Actor Luke Evans, 41, has never been shy of showing off his physique on his Instagram. However, his most recent Instagram posting still took many by surprise.
Posing in a skimpy pair of yellow, Speedo-style swimming trunks, showing off the new swallow tattoo on his thigh, and bent over the camera, the image has prompted over 5,700 comments and over a quarter of a million ‘likes’ in less than a day.

Fellow actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Modern Family) and singer Steve Grand both replied with heart-eyed emojis.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Another actor, Britain’s Jason Flemyng, probably came up with the wittiest response, quipping, “That reminds me… I must water the hanging baskets…”
Most of the commentators expressed shock and delight: “Okay well my jaw just actually dropped open,” was one typical reply.
Evans is currently in Australia shooting the limited series Nine Perfect Strangers for Hulu, in which he will star alongside Nicole Kidman and Melissa McArthy. He’s posted several photos and videos of himself in swimwear and praising the country for its beauty.

In his new project, Evans plays a gay lawyer named Lars. It’s the first time he’s played a gay character on screen, and he recently said, “It was a lovely character to delve into and to calibrate and deliver this complex person. But, yes, it was nice to play a gay character after all these years of doing roles on stage and screen.”

Evans is believed to have recently split from Argentine-born, art director boyfriend, Rafael Olarra. The two were first linked in 2019 but went Instagram official in February last year.
However, in late 2020, Evans deleted most of the photos he’d posted of Olarra from his Instagram. Last month, the Welsh actor confirmed in an interview with The Times that he was currently single, simply saying, “It is what it is.”

Why does it look like he’s looking for a hook up?
Topazme

Deacon
Y’all sum thirsty ass bitches ….
Imjustsaying
I can honestly say I have never been agog.
toddlicious
Same.
HankHarris
I’m much more of an ‘aghast’ person
Monkey1
Handsome guy but he is ruining his skin, you can already see the damage. That’s too bad.
hkgjefe1
100%
AZ71
Agree. There is something old-looking about him to only be 41. Like his skin is leathery or he’s been living and drinking rough. Not sure what it is.
Dymension
Absolutely!
HankHarris
He’s British, so those line up…
ElPillo
I was also going to say the same. He already looks 10 years older
renzinthewoods
I think you are being generous with only ten years older. I thought he was a very nice looking man of 60.
Alexis
I reckon he’s a complete bottom…
dougie
And. . . ? Nothin’ wrong with being a bottom, in my opinion.
barryaksarben
is that a bad thing? I have found the best sex is between a top and a bottom. But hey that is just me.
Joshooeerr
This is classic bottom shaming and it should get any poster banned immediately .
sfhairy
Is there a bulge hidden somewhere? I even zoomed in and couldn’t see anything.
sanfranca1
Exactly.
ciasteczek
Yeah! Nothing better than body shaming. True SJW you are. You should be ashamed of yourself!
Kangol2
@ciasteczek, would you please can the “SJW” crap? This isn’t Breitbart or Parler or wherever you usually hang out. If someone says they don’t see much of a package, it has nothing to do with politics, or you personally, unless it’s a photo of you. Sfhairy didn’t see much there. You can disagree without flying off on ideological tangents.
ciasteczek
@Kangol2 yeah, sure darling. I bet you wouldn’t be so open-minded if someone was calling fat person fat. Only because he is successful and stereotypically attractive you SJW dont have a problem with body-shaming him. Jeleous snowflakes.
Gay Thomas
ciasteczek, you seem really sensitive about your micropenis. We weren’t judging you, gurl. Why do you right wing trash hang out all day on gay sites? It’s really creepy.
ciasteczek
@Gay Thomas body shaming once again, good for you snowflake
Kangol2
@ciasteczek, I could not care less about Luke Evans; he does zilch for me, though I know he riles some people up and others love him. But you immediately flew off the handle with the right-wing verbiage (SJW, etc.), for no reason. What is your damage, seriously? Are you that sensitive about not being well-endowed? Saying you don’t see a stuffed package isn’t “body-shaming,” it’s stating a fact. I mean, who knows, Evans might be a grower as opposed to a shower, and good for him either way. He’s not my man, and he’ll find someone who can appreciate him, so more power to him. As for you, Don the Con is out of office, so please, don’t turn everything into a FoxNews-Parler rage-fest.
ciasteczek
@Kangol2 its really funny that you are trying to offend me by bodyshaming me. You guys work like this: We can say whatever we want as long as we are talking about rebublicans, white straight men, europeans etc. but god forbide if somedoby calls Lizzo obese. Thats the true deffinition of wokeism. What is wrong with you people??
Den
Yeah, I don’t see why they are bothering to “bodyshame” you either. Your first post clearly demonstrated that you are an idiot, so all they had to do was call that out for the few who were not already laughing at you.
And just out of curiosity, what exactly do you people (the regressive minded) have against social justice?
Why, if you have any sort of ethics or morals would social justice or social progress be offensive to you?
Use what intellect you might possess to respond, or, as noted, be shown (again) to be an idiot.
HankHarris
no VPL, no thank you. I think its photoshopped out.
Man About Town
You sure that’s Luke Evans and not his grandpa?

Now if his first name was Chris…..

Um…I don’t know who he is. The only Evans I care about is Chris…

I normally love the freckled skin but not when it’s from premature aging to due excessive sun exposure. Now look at Jensen Ackles and his beautiful nose or youtuber Chris Chann who is Asian and Irish who has them occurring naturally. So adorable and sexy.
Sotzume
Too much sun has turned him into a leather queen….but actually made of leather….
bgeorge59
Does he require this attention to breathe! Not seeing anything in the speedo worth going agog about
barryaksarben
I think he looks fine and am disappointed at all the mean comments. At the very least he is a gay man and not a straight guy just trying to make money off of the gays
Kangol2
I don’t get all the snark either, but whenever Queerty posts about him, the posts generate harsh reactions, so I must have missed what the controversy is about. He is not unattractive, he’s openly gay, he’s a successful actor, so what’s the issue with him?
Donston
I’ve had some slight grievances towards Evans but overall don’t mind him and have liked him for stretches. But this is Queerty. Bitchy comments are inevitable. Also, they set him up with that clickbait title.
ShiningSex
not much of a bulge. why is it a “headline” topic? zzzzz
PoetDaddy
Luke Evans is a sexy man, but—sorry—that is not an agog-ing bulge. I’d said it’s about average.
Glynn
Oh please make it stop already. Luke babe, just get dressed puh-lease darling and come home. And to the surprising number of amateur dermatologists here – aren’t you looking pretty! XX
Mehki
I’m sorry… But that little thing?
I skidded on here almost breaking my damned neck, thinking I was going to see a *BULGE* and that’s it???
I thought I was going to see a mountain and all I got was a mole hill!!!
HenryHawke
Just one word. “EW!”
Openminded
Yeah the title was click bait, which is the norm for Queerty. I’m not overly impressed with the reported “bulge” but I am highly impressed with his ability to lean over as he is and not have his belly hanging over his bulge. I’m betting nobody on this site could copy the pose without drawing attention to their stomach instead of their “bulge”. I’m proud for the guy at 41 to be in that condition. As for the condition of his skin, that’s his business. Lots of us like the sun and some of us have skin that handles it a little less desirable than others. Bottom line, he appears to be in good shape and that’s better than most of us are accomplishing.
Leash
I’m just here for the jealous mean-spirited comments. Nothing says “we don’t care about Luke Evans” then 44+ comments.
Frank Lee Mideer
What a bunch of nasty ass bitches, as usual!
cwaigy
Dear Luke Evans. I’ll be your boyfriend and be supportive of anything and everything you need! Who the hell wouldn’t want to be with this gorgeous hot extremely sexy man? If he reads this? Which I seriously doubt as I couldn’t be that lucky, but if he does? Luke Evans, come to Australia and take me with you and I promise you paradise and a hell of a lot of budgie smugglers (swimmers) and all the love and sex you can try and keep up with! I seriously don’t get people these day? They have the perfect man in their hearts and souls and BEDS and let him slip right through their fingers. Wake up!
MusicBoi74
I was thinking that picture looked like a much older, handsome man…not 41…I’m 46, my husband is 54…neither of us look as old as this guy. That’s sad…worshipping the sun will do that! So will being ridden hard and put away wet.
