Luke Evans and his codpiece wow the crowd as Dr. Frank N Furter at Tony Awards

Luke Evans was definitely not caught with a flat at the 79th Tony Awards this week, as he wowed the crowd with his rendition of ‘Sweet Transvestite’ in a costume that left very little to the imagination. 

The star took to the Radio City Musical Hall stage on 7 June with the rest of the cast of Sam Pinkleton’s ‘Rocky Horror Show’ Broadway revival. 

The audience quivered in antici…pation as Evans showed off his Rocky-esque body in a corset, thigh-high boots, fishnets and, the showstopper, a festive codpiece. 

The ‘Beauty and the Beast’ actor had the audience under his thumb as he performed a sultry solo. He then sauntered off as the opening bars of ‘Time Warp’ played, exposing his bum cheeks to cheers from the crowd. 

Viewers at home were also mesmerised by Evans’ performance, with one X user writing: “Luke Evans shaking his d*ck and *ss on stage at the Tony Awards while wearing his slutty Rocky Horror Frank-N-Furter costume… This is what Pride Month is all about!”

“I know the idiots at CBS were mad as f*ck about this gay man living his best life on stage,” said another. 

A third commented: “He’s basically Welsh Hugh Jackman and gayer.”

Tom of Finland

Evans’ performance marks the second time in less than a month that he’s sent fans wild with leather and a cheeky nipple flash. 

Following this year’s Met Gala, he treated fans to a glimpse of his chiselled abs as he tried on his leather Tom of Finland hat one final time – and the fans were very grateful indeed.

The out gay star was among a handful of famous faces, including Nicholas Hoult, who wore leather looks to the annual fashion event. But it seems Evans wasn’t ready to let the moment go just yet, as he shared a series of images on Instagram with his hat on.

In the first shot, the Beauty and the Beast star wore the Palomo hat low on his head, with it covering his eyes. The black and white photo saw Evans standing strong, with his toned body doing plenty of heavy lifting.

The other shots were in colour, showing the deep burgundy of the leather hat. He threw on a pair of aviator sunglasses for the shots, though still posed in just his jeans.

He wrote in the caption: “Had to try the hat on one last time a week since I wore it on the Met Gala stone carpet, before it went into the archives! Loved it!”
