Social media can be a dangerous place when you're a world-famous celebrity.
Chris Evans, who plays Captain American in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, found this out the hard way when, in an Instagram story, he accidentally shared a very NSFW picture.
It was unclear whether the image, which appeared to show a man's genitals, belonged to Evans or to someone else, but it was included in a quick screen-share of his camera roll.
The camera roll also happened to include a picture of Evans himself with the caption:
"Guard that p*ssy."

Though Evans removed the image in a matter of minutes, many social media users had already taken screenshots and had begun sharing them all around the internet.

Fortunately, Evans's co-star Mark Ruffalo took to social media to offer his friend a silver lining.
