Chris Evans speaks out after NSFW images leak: 'Now that I have your attention'
The actor urged fans to vote in his response
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chris Evans has a message for his fans following the recent leak of NSFW photos on his Instagram.
The Marvel star recently shared a video of his family on Instagram, according to EOnline, when the pre-recorded video ended, his phone seemed to have shown the photo roll grid on his device, which appeared to include some NSFW images, including one that many of his 5.9 million believed to be an erect penis.
Although the actor quickly took the video down, many were able to screengrab the photo grid to speculate on whether or not Evans accidentally shared a snap of his own penis.

"Was off social media for the day yesterday," he tweeted on Sunday, a day after the leak. "What’d I miss?"
