Chrissy Teigen has spoken out in defense of actor Chris Evans, after the Avengers star appeared to inadvertently leak a nude photo while sharing footage to his Instagram stories.
The 39-year-old actor took to his Instagram Stories on Saturday to share a short clip of himself and some friends playing the mobile game Heads Up.
However, at the end of the video, a brief shot of Evans' cell phone camera roll flashed up, which featured a close-up picture of a penis. Whose penis was it? We'll never know, but the entire clip has since been deleted.

Evans' fans have rallied around him since the inadvertent leak, with many flooding social media with pictures of the actor and his dogs.

Meanwhile, model Chrissy Teigen has weighed in on the issue as well, albeit without mentioning Chris Evans by name.
"My WhatsApp automatically saves every photo to my roll so any boobs in my phone are my girlfriends showing me their boobs or boobs they hate or boobs they love or yeah def also my boobs. I’d say 80 percent of my roll is whatsapp nonsense between friends" Teigen wrote on Twitter.

"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!" She later added.

And Chris Evans' Marvel Cinematic Universe co-star Mark Ruffalo opted to make light of the moment with a good natured joke, by tweeting his friend saying: "@ChrisEvans Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself. See... silver lining."

Many fans on Twitter have also been pointing out that Chris Evans has been very open in the past when it comes to speaking publicly about his mental health.
During a 2017 interview with Motivation Madness, Evans opened up about his struggles with his anxiety, saying: "I do struggle. I get anxiety about certain things and press, things like that."
In the interview, Evans revealed that his anxiety was holding him back taking the role of Captain America, and so he spoke to his loved ones about what they thought he should do - which eventually led him seeking help from his therapist.
The full video can be seen below:

He said: "I asked every human being in my life what they thought, and they said I should do the movie, and then I went to therapy. I thought, 'I’ll talk to my therapist! See what they have to say!'"
In the interview, Evans also shares some of his methods of dealing with anxiety, which may help others.
