Good save, Chris.

Earlier, Chris’ brother Scott Evans poked fun at his brother’s social media slip-up.

Scott tweeted: “Was off social media for the day yesterday. So. What’d I miss?”

Scott’s tweet was a tongue in cheek reference to his brother Chris who posted a screenshot of his phone’s camera roll on his Instagram story that quickly got tongues wagging.

He had been sharing a screen recording of his family playing the game Heads Up but when the video ended, a camera roll displayed on the screen, which appears to show a photo of a penis.

The screenshot in question, which we’ve obviously had to blur out.

Another photo showed a picture of the star’s face with the text, “guard that p****y”.

Evans quickly deleted the story but not before screenshots started doing the rounds on social media, quickly becoming the number one trending topic on Twitter.

His Avengers co-star Mark Ruffalo tweeted, “@ChrisEvans. Bro, while Trump is in office there is NOTHING you could possibly do to embarrass yourself. See … silver lining.”

While many fans rejoiced at the pic, others said people should leave the star alone.

“My heart hurts for the poor sweet angel Chris Evans,” one woman tweeted.

“Can humanity pls finally come together for this one thing and just pretend nothing happened. I FEEL BAD FOR HIM HE’S PROBABLY SO SAD.”

Somehow we don’t think he’s sad.
