Smalltown Actor Tom Welling accidentally posted an NSFW photo of himself on his Instagram Stories that made fans do a double take – and caused his name to start trending online.
On Friday, October 9, Welling, 49, posted a photo of her view from what appears to be a hotel in New York City. He was in town for New York Comic Con this weekend.
“Hello NYCC,” the former Clark Kent star captioned the Instagram Stories update, which showed skyscrapers, the streets below and bright blue skies.
Unfortunately, the reflection in the window revealed much more of Welling than he had probably anticipated. It quickly became apparent that Welling had taken the photo without clothes.

On October 10, Welling participated in a NYCC panel titled “The Road to Superman: 25 Years of Smallville” alongside Michael Rosenbaum, Kristin Kreuk and Erica Durance.
Rosenbaum posted a video clip on Instagram of the actors smiling with fans in the background. “Wow. What a treat,” he captioned the update. “@newyorkcomiccon with my friends. @durance.erica @mskristinlkreuk @tomwelling #smallville.”
Smalltown aired for 10 seasons (first on The WB and then on The CW) from 2001 to 2011. In addition to Welling, Kreuk and Curance, the series starred Allison Mack, Annette O’Toole and John Schneider, among others.
