Turns out, there is more than meets the eye in Tom Welling<\/a>‘s recent skyline photo.<\/p>\n

“Hello, NYCC,” Welling, 49, wrote in a since-deleted Friday, October 10, Instagram Stories post, per a screenshot obtained by Page Six<\/a>, referring to the New York Comic Con<\/a> convention currently underway.<\/p>\n

While the Smallville alum showed off his hotel view of New York City, the window accidentally caught a NSFW glimpse of Welling fully nude. Welling, who eventually deleted the image, has not further addressed the incident. Us reached out to a rep for the actor for comment.<\/p>\n

Welling recently traveled to New York City for its local Comic Con, which will feature a special 25th anniversary reunion panel of the <\/a>Smallville <\/a>cast<\/a>. He notably starred as Clark Kent a.k.a Superman.<\/p>\n

“I think for Clark, he got to relax and have a little sarcasm and a little bit of fun,” Welling recalled of his character’s romance with Erica Durance’s Lois Lane on a recent episode of the “Inside Of You” podcast<\/a>. “Before, it was the weight of the world, you know, emotionally, you didn’t get to see that side. That’s what I saw come out in Clark through the Lois relationship.”<\/p>\n

While Clark and Lois’ teen romance<\/a> remains a staple of Smallville lore, Welling enjoyed a certain arc even more.<\/p>\n

“It’s ‘Transference’ when Clark and Lionel switch bodies,” he recalled of his favorite episode. “I don’t know if it’s a perfect episode, but I just remember being like, ‘I got to put my big boy shoes on for this one, like, this is John Glover’s character.'”<\/p>\n

Glover, 82, appeared on the CW hit as the villainous<\/a> Lionel Luthor, who infamously swapped places with Clark in prison during season 4.<\/p>\n

“I wasn’t supposed to come in until the afternoon at the prison and James Marshall called me. He goes, ‘I need you to come to set.’ It’s, like, 8:30 in the morning,” Welling recalled of shooting the body-swap scene. “I’m like, ‘Of course.’ \u2026 And he goes, ‘John Glover needs your help.'”<\/p>\n

According to Welling, Glover had allegedly struggled to master Clark’s stillness.<\/p>\n

“John’s in a cell. And I go over to him, [and ask], ‘John, what’s going on?’ And he goes, ‘Tom, how do you do it?'” Welling added. “And I go, ‘What?’ He goes, ‘How do you do nothing? You just stand there.'”<\/p>\n

He continued, “Obviously, I look up to him as one of the greatest actors I’ll ever be around in my life, and we had a brief conversation. I don’t know if it’s what I said but maybe how I said it that [about] my vibe, and he sort of settled into something. I just remember that being like, ‘This is this is amazing what we’re trying to do here.'”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Turns out, there is more than meets the eye in Tom Welling‘s recent skyline photo. “Hello, NYCC,” Welling,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":370187,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[9,24,55,54,56],"class_list":["post-370186","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-city-headlines","tag-new-york-city-news","tag-ny"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370186","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=370186"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/370186\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/370187"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=370186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=370186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
