Queer actor Charlie Besso is turning heads with his latest thirst post. While most gays love to post a sexy photo at the beach, pool, club, bathroom, or bedroom... Besso decided to take things up a notch by showing off his body in front of the legendary Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
By lifting up his shirt and looking off in the distance, Besso's ripped abs are on full display as he poses for a picture in the packed crowd. The caption reads, "Mogged Mona," which essentially means he outshined the one and only Mona Lisa with his own dashing looks.
While Besso certainly received plenty of attention for looking good in the photo, many people poked fun at the actor for taking a thirst trap at such a popular tourist destination. The response was fairly divided on different social media platforms.
Over on Instagram, friends and fans laughed along with Besso or even went as far to say the thirsty pic was a "masterpiece." Some users even got in on the joke by commenting "Who's the diva behind you" or even taking it a step farther with "More like Moan a Lisa."
It may be all giggles on Instagram, but it's a different story on X (formerly Twitter). Besso received a lot of criticism for the post, with some pointing out that none of the people in the background of his photo are even looking at him as they're trying to capture their own content of the historic oil painting. It's honestly shocking that he was able to take the photo with so many people around him.
Some comments went for the jugular by saying "At least she’s hung," "The way nobody is looking," or "No one's looking at you, though. Seems like Mona mogged you." Check out the highlights from Besso's social post below!
