Los Angeles, Sep 13 (IANS): Captain America star Chris Evans became talk of the town after he appeared to post and delete an explicit picture. His Avengers co-star Mark Ruffalo sees a silver lining.

Evans had posted a video of him playing "Heads Up" with his friends but when the video ended and went back to his gallery, it was a different head that appeared on his preview, reports etcanada.com.

Among the pictures and videos was one of his "big Mack truck", as rappers Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion would put it.

Another picture of himself had the caption "Guard your p***y".

Evans quickly realised his mistake and deleted the Instagram story but not before netizens noticed it.

One wrote: "Chris evans leaking chris evans nudes is the highlight of my saturday."

Another wrote: "Anthony mackie calling chris evans."

Responding to the leak, Ruffalo tweeted: "Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself. See...silver lining."
