Benson Boone's Latest Gym Selfie Makes Gay Twitter Thirsty
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Singer Benson Boone posted a ripped selfie, and the thirst was on!
The 22-year-old "Slow It Down" singer took to Instagram with the pic, a mirror selfie that shows him posing shirtless in a gym. Boone's rippling abs stand out in cut relief over gray sweatpants, as the waistband of his white briefs peek out.
The post was part of a carrel of photos that also showed Boone in a couple of black-and-white group shots. Another selfie caught Boone tucked into bed with someone else, but the bedmate's identity – and gender – are hidden as they burrow beneath an ample white duvet, barely peeking out. Another bed shot captures the singer shirtless and lying atop the covers, squinting into the morning light.
"I've got peace and I've got love..." the singer captioned the carrel, quoting from his own song "Beautiful Things," and then quipping: "But I'm up at night until 5am cause I can't sleep after shows..."
