Chris Evans confirmed that he is, in fact, the best Chris, after he accidentally shared an extremely NSFW photo and then took the opportunity (and attention) to urge his followers to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

Evans, who plays Captain America, accidentally shared a quick look at his photo roll while he was playing a virtual game of Heads Up.

While he quickly deleted the photos, they were captured by eagle-eyed fans. The eye-popping picture of his nether regions wasn't the only inappropriate image fans caught. He also had a meme featuring himself (as Captain America) that cautioned "Guard that p***y."

After he shared his nude with the world, his celebrity pals came to his defense.

Actor Mark Ruffalo tweeted to assure his "bro" that at least his faux pas wasn't as bad as anything Donald Trump could do.

Evans recently launched the new, nonpartisan website A Starting Point to encourage people to vote and learn about the issues.

He ended up using the mishap to his advantage, tweeting "Now that I have your attention...VOTE Nov 3rd." Now, that's a real-life superhero - and the best Chris. Apologies to Pratt, Pine and Hemsworth, his fellow superheroes who have yet to have a similar social media moment.

Evans also addressed the incident when he appeared on the Tamron Hall Show on Tuesday morning.

He joked, "Something happened this weekend?" before saying, "It was an interesting weekend full of lessons learned, a lot of teachable moments. It’s embarrassing, but you gotta roll with the punches. I have fantastic fans who came to my support."
