Too Hot to Handle? Luke Evans Dressed Down in Since-Deleted Video
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Film star and clothing maven Luke Evans sent fans with a sizzling video that saw him shuck his clothes... for fashion, of course, namely his own BDXY brand. But the too-hot-to-handle clip quickly vanished from Instagram, where it had originally been posted.
"The 45-year-old Beauty and the Beast actor started off the video in a pair of red briefs and pulled them down, almost showing everything to his fans," Just Jared, which caught the short-lived clip, described.
The Welsh actor captioned the steamy snippet with, "GRWM - Legs day, short shorts day. Gym time. Bringing the 80's short shorts back!!! Don't be scared of showing your legs off lads!!!"
"In the clip, he models his clothing brand BDXY's Unit Brief, Cameo Shorts, Stunt Vest, and Gaffer Cap," Just Jared said.
That's in line with other Insta videos in which the out star shows off the wares on offer from his line.
The more traditional route of showing photos with models won out in other posts promoting the brand.
But the since-deleted video seems to have captured fans' imaginations as thoroughly as anything featuring a model.
"Watching on repeat, stuck on the first frame," Just Jared quoted one testimonial left in the comments section.
"Ok...." wrote another, "what is sure is that this is definitely the best Monday motivation I have ever seen on ig. 😏."
