Luke Evans sets pulses racing as he shows off his new bird thigh tattoo in TINY yellow Speedos

He has jetted to Australia to film his latest project Nine Perfect Strangers.  

And Luke Evans made the most of the sunshine as he hit the beach in a pair of tiny yellow Speedos on Tuesday. 

The Welsh actor, 41, set temperatures soaring as he took to Instagram to show off his toned physique and new bird tattoo. 

Luke showed off his rippling abs and bird inking as he posed for a selfie on his beach towel.

He captioned the shot: ‘Boo!!’.  

And Luke’s fans seemed to be a fan of his swimwear choice. One wrote: ‘MY GOD!!! I needed to set down to catch my breath’, while another follower typed: ‘Okay well my jaw just actually dropped open.’ 

Luke has been busy shooting Nine Perfect Strangers in Australia, in which he plays divorce lawyer Lars, and admitted it was ‘nice’ to portray a gay character on screen for the first time.

He said: ‘It was a lovely character to delve into and to calibrate and deliver this complex person. But, yes, it was nice to play a gay character after all these years of doing roles on stage and screen.’   

The actor recently confirmed his split from his art director boyfriend Rafael Olarra. 

The Beauty and The Beast star was rumoured to have split from Rafael last October after they unfollowed one another on Instagram, but days later appeared to patch things up.

Speaking to The Times’ Saturday Review in January, Luke has confirmed he is single, saying: ‘It is what it is.’ 

The couple started dating in summer 2019 and made their relationship official on social media the following February.
