A clip of Lee Pace is making the rounds on social media for the thirstiest of reasons.
In anticipation of his new intergalactic series Foundation, the out actor shared a clip of himself shirtless and walking through a desert, back (and butt) facing the camera. "We spent the past two years traveling around the [world emoji] to shoot this epic adaption," he wrote on Twitter.
\u201cFOUNDATION OUT TONIGHT ON @APPLETV\nWe spent the past two years traveling around the \ud83c\udf0f to shoot this epic adaption of Isaac Asimov\u2019s #Foundation. \nI\u2019m grateful to the folks at @appletvplus & @skydance. Love to my comrades @JaredHarris @loullobell \nWATCH:\nhttps://t.co/oBkqCRg7uz\u201d— Lee Pace (@Lee Pace) 1632418357
But what was probably a relatively innocent post has elicited a strong reaction from the gays. The thirst flowed freely on Twitter:

Pace's recent photo spread in Esquire didn't help the avalanche of thirst.

But don't get your hopes up too high! Last week, Pace made an appearance on the Met Gala red carpet and fans noticed a gold band on his left ring finger. Rumors are now swirling that Pace has privately married his longtime boyfriend Matthew Foley, though they haven't been confirmed or denied as the actor keeps details of his personal life from the public.
