Actor Zachary Quinto delighted fans by returning to Instagram yesterday after a nearly three-year hiatus. His last posting before this was in December 2020.
Posting a selfie, Quinto, said, “After a long (and enjoyable) hiatus – I am wading back into these choppy waters. As a wise man once said: ‘Nowadays the world is lit by lightning.’ No sense trying to find my way by candlelight. Here’s to looking ahead with light and love. En avant.”
Among those to respond to the photo was fellow actor Simon Pegg. The British actor, currently starring alongside Tom Cruise in the new Mission Impossible movie, featured alongside Quinto in the Star Trek movies. Pegg played engineer “Scotty”.
Pegg, who is straight, quipped, “Look at this hunk of sexual charisma!!!🤤❤️”

Matt Bomer posted love-heart-eye emojis (😍😍😍), while Andrew Rannells said, “You little dreamboat. 😍”. Lukas Gage, who will soon be seen alongside Quinto in the comic movie, Down Low, commented, “She’s the moment”.
It’s unclear what prompted Quinto to withdraw from social media. He was previously a regular poster on Instagram. Perhaps he’s going to use it to promote one of his new projects.
He also posted a series of videos to his Instagram stories in which he performs strength training on gymnastic rings.

Whatever the reason, it’s good to have him back. Here’s hoping he starts posting more thirst traps like the ones he used to occasionally treat fans to.
Gage and Quinto’s unapologetically queer new movie starts with a “happy ending” and only gets wilder from there.

We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
I don’t think Simon Pegg has ever explicitly referred to himself as “straight” publicly. Why is the media so comfortable with giving people “straight” and “bi” identities? But then will criticize folks for assuming people are “gay” or criticize folks for giving someone a “gay” identity. Are we not tired of the queer hypocrisy or tired of filtering everyone though a hetero assumptive lens?
he’s got huge feet & little bird legs.
@monty clift, elton was married to a woman too. did that make him straight? freddie mercury had a long standing relationship with a woman. also not straight.

I have had the pleasure of casually meeting him a couple of times. He is a gentleman who is as sweet as he is good looking.

His Wikipedia says he’s married to a woman and they have a child together.

Him being married to a woman does not have to mean that he’s straight. God, you’re provincial.

Oh cap it Abcrab, it’s barely noon and your fangs are quivering.
D- all your posts are tired of this or tired of that, maybe sleep would help.

I like what Viggo Mortensen said in a similar situation, something like “You don’t know my entire sexual history.”

Nice pics, but when did those glasses like my grandfather wore in the 60’s come back in style?

I love a man in glasses. It’s the Clark Kent effect.

Well! You know what big feet mean!

Zachary has that befuddled genius expression and emphatic Cary Grant jawline that spell Silver Oscar Gold at the 2053 Academy Awards.
