2022 Rewind: Jessie Williams's Revealing Scene from Broadway Show Ignites Social Media
EDGE is looking back at 2022 and we're resharing some of our favorite stories of the year.
After full-frontal nude photos of Jessie Williams in Broadway's "Take Me Out" flooded social media platforms, thirsty social media users got the former "Grey's Anatomy" actor's name trending.
As reported by the Daily Mail, scenes from the show leaked online after someone broke the show's strict no-phone policy and captured video during a performance on May 9.
Now the actor's manhood is the subject of a Twitterstorm of thirsty reactions.
On Twitter, one user posted: "Sh*t let me start taking my @ss to broadway plays...I would have been front and center watching Jessie Williams straight like this."
Another user posted about how impressed they were with Williams' ... eye-grabbing presentation, saying: "I don't care about celebrity nudes ... but stumbling upon Jessie Williams' and his Broadway Pics."
Not to give too much more away, the premise of "Take Me Out" is mostly set in the locker room of a Major League Baseball team. Williams, as character "Darren Lemming," struggles with his sexuality and accepting his racial background.
Although Williams is getting all the attention, most of the cast, including Patrick J. Adams and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, go naked.
About the nudity, Williams told Page Six he was "terrified" to go naked as he prepared for the show's run.
"I know it's going to be fine," said Williams. "I just have to believe that and lean forward."
From what we can see, things turned out more than fine.
But the bigger question is, now that Williams' body has provided a viral teaser for the Broadway show, will you be buying tickets?
