British reality show I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here features actors like John Barrowman and George Takei—who in 2008 at age 71 finished in 3rd place in a field of 12 behind tennis icon Martina Navratilova and 26-year-old Eastenders actor Joey Swash—as well as athletes, entertainers and reality stars all with varying levels of fame.
They compete in Survivor style challenges to be crowned "King of the Jungle."
Barrowman is a Scottish-American actor known for performing on London's West End and Broadway's stages as well as on various English television shows such as Torchwood and Doctor Who. The actor and advocate for marriage equality and LGBTQ rights just finished a five year stint on the CW's Arrow, including cameos across the Arrow'verse.
During a recent episode of I'm a Celebrity, Barrowman shocked some audience members after he "slut dropped" while crossing a bridge. But those familiar with the actor's appearances at various cons know it's just the over-the-top Barrowman they know and love.

"Slut drop" is a common yet somewhat offensive term for a dance move that's been immortalized by artists like Britney Spears, Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj in music videos. It's not typically deployed by White guys, but most agree John Barrowman totally won the moment when he unexpectedly "dropped it like it was hot."
And considering this was Barrowman's outfit one year at Comic Con...
The internet definitely reacted.

Alright, most dudes would get roasted for attempting to "slut drop" on national television like that.
But as usual, John Barrowman is totally owning the moment and enjoying himself. At this rate, he could teach Cardi B a few saucy moves.
