Luke Evans and Fran Tomas Serve Up the Sizzle with Skimpy Summer Looks
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Out Welsh actor Luke Evans and his boyfriend, Fran Tomas, showed off their fruitful partnership - and their ripped physiques - in a smoking hot swimwear photo advertising their brand, BDXY Studio. Their online fans needed a swimming pool of their own to quench the thirst.
The life (and business) partners posed together, soaking wet, in BDXY swim briefs, with Evans also wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the brand's name.
The post has a suitably starry, Hollywood-focused caption. "Inspired by Hollywood screen legends - think Harrison Ford poolside in the '70s - the BDXY swimwear brings timeless energy with a flattering, modern fit," the caption reads. "We're obsessed with the classic black edition that works with everything."
To illustrate the point, a young Harrison Ford appeared in another photo included in the post, which also boasts illustrations of the brand's swimwear.
The comments section crackled with fire icons and applause emojis as fans flocked to express their admiration and demonstrate their thirst for the drenched photo.
"Wow!" one fan exclaimed, while another echoed the sentiment and added: "My new favorite picture! Enjoy the rest of your day, gentlemen. I know I will. ❤️💋LYML 😘😘"
The cut of the clothing wasn't the only thing fans responded to; they also lauded the obvious vibe between the couple.
"The most beautiful couple on instagram ❤️😊," swooned one fan, while another gasped, "So much beautiful love you guys...😍😍🔥🔥💙💙🫶🫶🫰🫰".
"So Hot 🔥❤️🔥🔥," another cried out. "Red 4 Summer 💦💨".
The May 20 post followed another recent Insta post from Evans in which the film star and clothing maven sent fans into a meltdown with a sizzling video that saw him shuck his clothes to show off his brand. But the too-hot-to-handle clip quickly vanished.
"The 45-year-old Beauty and the Beast actor started off the video in a pair of red briefs and pulled them down, almost showing everything to his fans," Just Jared, which caught the short-lived clip, described.
The Welsh actor captioned the steamy snippet with, "GRWM - Legs day, short shorts day. Gym time. Bringing the 80's short shorts back!!! Don't be scared of showing your legs off lads!!!"
