While he has his detractors, the bulk of responses to a tweeted screen capture of Chasten’s Instagram story quickly drew responses.
“If you don’t think he’s hot, it’s homophobic,” one user responded.
“Chasten is so lucky,” another crooned.
Several of the responses were decidedly not safe for work.
That's a good looking man.😍🔥
I've been curious to know what Pete looked like, underneath those blue suits for a while now, and this "thirst trap" does not disappoint. Thanks Chasten.😉— michael epps (@michael_epps) July 25, 2021
