A *Smallville* star accidentally exposes himself to millions of Instagram followers and the timing of his nude photo blunder is unbelievable! Ryan Reynolds' explosive private texts about Justin…

So let's kick it off with Smallville star Tom Welling, because he has accidentally exposed himself to his 2.3 million Instagram followers.
The 49-year-old actor, who played Clark Kent in Smallville, was in New York for Comic-Con when he posted the photo of the city skyline from his hotel room on Friday and he captioned it, "Hello, NYC." But apparently he didn't realize that his completely naked body was visible in the reflection of the window.
Obviously, people immediately screenshot this and started sharing it around the internet.
He was probably losing his mind wondering why his Instagram story was so viewed, but it seems like he didn't cotton on to this straight away, because it was up for a long time.
Like, hours and hours went by until it was deleted, and by then, it had spread like wildfire.
He is yet to publicly address the accidental exposure, but he did post a video signing autographs for fans telling them to come say hey.
As much as this was obviously an accident, I'll say it once and I'll say it again, if you are taking a photo in the nude, you have to triple check before you post.
Actually, you know what? I'm gonna go one step further and say maybe just don't take the photo naked.
You're in a hotel, and it looked like you're pretty high up, so there's definitely a, a fluffy white robe somewhere.
Why are we still taking the risk? And people are either gonna love this or hate this.
