'Love, Simon' Star Shares Body Positive Post with Revealing Selfie
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
"Love, Simon" star Keiynan Lonsdale has proven not to be shy on Instagram and the out actor shared a revealing new selfie Sunday in order to promote body positivity.
Lonsdale, who came out as bisexual last year, uploaded a photo of himself sitting in front of a mirror, completely naked with only what appears to be a blanket covering him. The snap, which as of this writing earned over 132,000 likes, also came with a lengthy caption. In his post, the 26-year-old "Flash" star shared a message of body positivity:
"Why is it deemed wrong to not wear clothes? We've been taught poorly, & groomed to hold shame for ourselves, our human bodies," he writes. "No matter what we look like, each of us is made to feel incorrect inside our own physical form, told that in order to survive & be a functioning, liked, & well-respected person in society, we should hide this form from the world."
The Australian actor adds: "That shit sounds whack to me. Now, I'm not at all at the confidence level to be naked in public lol, maybe one day I hope, but I'm sure as hell working on sharing & showing off my body to myself.. and it feels good."
This isn't the first time Lonsdale has shocked fans with an eye-popping pic. Back in June, he turned heads with a similar mirror selfie, only holding a towel in front of him. Check that out by clicking here and read his full post below.
