However, fans quickly noticed his nude reflection in the window.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Welling appeared to be completely naked while taking the picture, accidentally giving followers a much more revealing view than intended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The photo reportedly remained on his Instagram Stories for several hours before being deleted, but not before it attracted plenty of attention online. Now, Welling is getting in on the joke.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Welling reacts to his accidental nude photo<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Later that day, the actor responded to Fresh Off the Boat star Trevor Larcom, who had shared a <a data-ylk=\"slk:video on TikTok;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@trevorlarcom\/video\/7695188671271537934?lang=en\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">video on TikTok<\/a> poking fun at the unexpected Instagram moment. &#8220;came for the sights,&#8221; Welling wrote in the comments, seemingly acknowledging the situation with a cheeky joke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">His former Smallville costar Michael Rosenbaum, who portrayed Lex Luthor on the series, also joined the fun.
