10 Instagram Posts that Prove Luke Evans is Our Favorite Zaddy

Out actor Luke Evans may have played a daddy battling Billy Porter for custody of his 8-year-old boy the recent drama "Our Son," but his Instagram profile solidifies him as our favorite zaddy.
Beyond his prolific queer roles and outspoken opinions about gay-Hollywood, Luke knows exactly how to entertain us on the gram. Not only does he serve us fashion (Evans co-founded a brand called BDXY with his partner Fran Tomas and the actor's longtime stylist Christopher Brown), he also knows when the garments should come off (bestowing us lots and lots of shirtless torso).
Originally starring on the London stage, the hunky Welsh actor shined in West End productions like "Rent" and "Miss Saigon" before quickly becoming a familiar face (okay...body too) in film and television.
Besides roles in blockbusters like the "Clash of the Titans" (2010), J.R.R. Tolkien's "Hobbit" series (2013-2014), and playing the iconic Gaston in the live-action "Beauty and the Beast" (2017), Evans has made a name for himself in various queer roles, having no shame about being an out and proud gay actor in Hollywood.
In fact, Evans has been vocal about the fact that the right person should get the role, no matter if they are gay or straight, reminding us that he starred in about 30-something non-gay roles before playing queer.
Luke says he finally found the gay role he was waiting for in "Our Son," and also played the gay psilocybin-guzzling retreat guest in Nicole Kidman's bonkers limited series "Nine Perfect Strangers" (we wouldn't mind if he came back for another round when the show returns for a second season...just sayin')!
Most recently, Evans played Dan Levy's beloved husband (and author), who tragically dies in an accident, in Levy's directorial debut, "Good Grief."
Acting (and singing!) chops aside, the 44-year-old actor knows how to give us sexy, Zaddy energy, whether he's on a film shoot, or lounging on vacation. Let's gawk at some of our favorite posts.
When Luke comments about his "beast" of a Landrover, who "liked getting dirty," we can't help but wonder if he's also talking about himself? We'll let you be the judge.
As Luke bids us goodnight, he grants us both a bicep and a pit shot. Is it surprising that we're suddenly feeling ready for bed, too?
"You drive all your gay fans crazy lol," one fan commented. Ya think??
