Jamie Lee Curtis has responded after Chris Evans inadvertently leaked an NSFW picture while sharing a video to his Instagram stories.
In case you're unaware, over the weekend, the Avengers star appeared to show fans what lies beneath his Captain America suit when he shared a video to his Instagram Stories, the Daily Mail reports.
The clip seemed innocent enough, showing the 39-year-old actor playing a game of Heads Up - a cell phone game - with his friends on Saturday.

However, as the video ended, 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 considering the source, fans jumped to the conclusion that it was Evans' member).
The clip was swiftly deleted, but fans had already noticed the image and Evans was swiftly trending on social media.
The actor has since responded to the incident in commendable fashion, taking to Twitter to share a message with his millions of fans.
Writing to his 14 million Twitter followers, Evans typed: "Now that I have your attention", followed by emojis of a man facepalming and shrugging.

He then urged people to hit the polling stations, writing: "VOTE Nov 3rd!!!"
And now, Jamie Lee Curtis, who played Evans' mom in movie Knives Out, has responded with a pretty racy message of her own.
"My boy! Proud of him. Got MY attention!" Curtis replied to Evans' tweet on the subject.

Fortunately for Chris Evans, his fans definitely had his back in the immediate aftermath of the incient.
Determined to have anything about Chris Evans trend on social media rather than the NSFW screenshot, people instead shared pictures of Chris just being the great guy he is.
For example, here's Chris Evans being "the best dog dad ever":

Perhaps the most bizarre strategy to flood people's newsfeeds with something other than Captain America's captain was to replace the image was something (or someone) entirely random:

His Marvel Cinematic Universe co-star Mark Ruffalo also decided to lighten the mood, 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."

As many of Evans' fans have pointed out on Twitter, the actor has previously struggled with anxiety and depression - something which he has been very open about in interviews.
During a 2017 interview with Motivation Madness, Evans opened up about his struggles with his mental health, saying: "I do struggle. I get anxiety about certain things and press, things like that."
The full video can be seen below:

Evans revealed in the interview 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.
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.
