Keiynan Lonsdale’s been on a body positivity crusade in recent weeks, including sharing a completely naked selfie and asking ‘Why is it deemed wrong to not wear clothes?’
But the star’s latest post – in which he’s wearing shorts – is generating even more conversation.
The Flash actor, 26, dances seductively before a camera with the outline of his manhood clearly visible in his latest Instagram video, which he also shared to Twitter yesterday.
Captioned ‘Happy Sunday’, the clip generated massive engagement, including plenty of praise from fans of Keiynan.
He added on Twitter: ‘Life’s fun when you stop caring about what others think of you. That’s all happy Sunday.’
‘You have the confidence I aspire to’
Positive comments ranged from ‘hypnotic’ to ‘Simon’s pregnant guys’, referring to Keiynan’s on-screen boyfriend in this year’s Love, Simon.
Another said: ‘You have the confidence I aspire to.’
Another added: ‘Keiynan you inspire to be the greatest black queer anyone has ever seen. I love you! Keep doing you boo.’
However, there were inevitably some negative comments, including many abusive ones.
One said ’this man is disgusting’, while another added ‘bro, u should die in the flash’.
‘Straight guys jelly af’
Many implied Keiynan’s post wasn’t ‘appropriate’, considering the younger fanbase he’s amassed through roles in the likes of Insurgent and Legends of Tomorrow. Users of Instagram must be aged 13 and over.
‘He should think about his younger followers before posting stuff like this,’ said one.
‘Bruh just think about the little kids that follow him bc of kid flash and they see this I wonder what their reaction would be,’ said another.
‘Only the gay ppl actually like this…dude pls stop torturing the ppl who follow u from the flash,’ said a third.
Countering such criticism, one fan said: ‘Straight guys jelly af in these comments…’
Keiynan came out publicly as bisexual in an emotional Instagram post last year.
