Jack Falahee whetted fans' appetites for the return of the second season of "How To Get Away With Murder" by live-tweeting the filming of an upcoming gay sex scene.
The 26-year-old actor, who plays "manwhore homosexual" Connor Walsh on the smash series, took to both Twitter and Instagram to explain the steps involved in creating one of the show's steamy, same-sex moments.
As it turns out, the process is purely professional -- cock socks, baby oil and all. Behold:
I'm putting a cock sock on to film a scene and all 4 of my grandparents are still alive.
— Jack Falahee (@RestingPlatypus) February 6, 2016
The amount of make up and baby oil to do a naked scene.. I did not wake up like this. #nude #mybody #bodyimage
— Jack Falahee (@RestingPlatypus) February 6, 2016
The fun continued on Falahee's official Instagram account, where he offered a snap of his flesh-colored underwear...
... and a studio make-up session to cover up his tattoos:
When a fan called him out for "laying it thick," Falahee said he was simply trying to offer a male perspective on Hollywood's rigid beauty standards.
I just want people to know that men also can feel this way about their bodies. #insecure #masculinity #bodypositive https://t.co/QdnTMLZXPK
— Jack Falahee (@RestingPlatypus) February 6, 2016
And fortunately for Falahee, the day's shoot ended in true celebratory fashion:
FYI I ate 3 slices of pizza, half a box of Girl Scout cookies, 3 meatballs and a bunch of burrata after my shirtless scene.

We can't help but love seeing Falahee offering a cheeky, humble take on the experience.
"How To Get Away With Murder" returns on Feb. 11 on ABC.

Bruno Mars
Rumors that the pop star had come out of the closet began after a CNN iReport -- a subsection of the media outlet comprising 'citizen journalists' from around the world -- posted a since-removed story that stated, "The famous pop-star Bruno Mars admits his homosexuality," which caused Mars' name to trend on Twitter. Nonetheless, Mars' rep called the report "completely fabricated" and "false," according to Gossip Cop.

Oprah Winfrey
Speculation has swirled over the talk show queen's long-standing kinship with TV anchor friend Gayle King for years. But as Winfrey told Barbara Walters, "I'm not even kind of a lesbian. And the reason why [the rumor] irritates me is because it means that somebody must think I'm lying. That's No. 1. No. 2... why would you want to hide it? That is not the way I run my life."

Matt Damon And Ben Affleck
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are no strangers when it comes to gay rumors. Their seemingly more-than-a-bromance had never been denied, causing people to further believe the gossip until Damon decided to speak up about it in December 2012. Damon proclaimed: "I never denied those rumors because I was offended and didn’t want to offend my friends who were gay. As if being gay were some kind of f--king disease. It put me in a weird position in that sense."

John Travolta
Maybe it's the "Saturday Night Fever" syndrome, but Travolta, who has been married to Kelly Preston since 1991, has been dogged by gay rumors and reports since the late 1980s. His attorney, Marty Singer, sent a five-page letter to Gawker threatening to sue over posting "false and outrageous" claims in a 2010 story the site ran in a post called "The Secret Sex Life of John Travolta."
In 2014 Travolta responded to rumors -- and a 2012 lawsuit filed by his former pilot and alleged lover -- saying, "This is every celebrity's Achilles heel. It's just people wanting money. That's all. It happens on many levels... Also, I don't care that much about [those types of allegations]. Other people may attack back more than I do, but I let all the media stuff go a long time ago because I can't control it."

Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino
The "Jersey Shore" star reportedly hit back at housemates Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi and Jenni "JWoww" Farley after they speculated about his sexuality and hinted he might be gay in an interview with HuffPost Gay Voices. "Mike really ripped both Snooki and JWoww a new one," a show insider told The Chicago Sun-Times. Noting that Sorrentino is concerned such comments could hurt his brand endorsements, which are focused on straight male customers, the source added, "He's extremely upset." In the interview, both JWoww and Snooki implied that despite his playboy reputation, Mike has questioned his own sexuality. "He brings it up," JWoww said. "He'll say, 'People think I'm gay and I don't know what they're talking about.'" Added Snooki: "He told me one time, '[All the talk is] making me wonder.'"

Jeremy Renner
The star of "The Avengers" blasted persistent rumors about his sexuality -- as well as probes into his personal life in general. "I want my personal life to be personal, and it's not f***ing true," Renner, 41, is quoted as saying. "And I don't care if you're talking about things that are true, you're still talking about my personal life... How about I go peek in your window, take what underwear you wore last night, whose husband you were f***ing, and shove that in the megaphone throughout your neighborhood? How does that feel?"

Tom Cruise
Despite three high-profile opposite sex marriages, the "Top Gun" star has been the subject of gay speculation for years. In 2003, he won a $10 million default judgment in a case against a gay porn actor who claimed the two had an affair, and two years earlier, he sued Los Angeles-based publisher Michael Davis for $100 million after Davis claimed to have a videotape of Cruise engaged in homosexual acts. As People reported, the suit was eventually dropped, and Davis eventually stated that Cruise "is not, and never has been, homosexual and has never had a homosexual affair."

Kelly Clarkson
Speaking with Cosmopolitan magazine for the February 2013 "Love Issue," Clarkson addressed gay rumors that have followed her throughout her career, saying she thinks speculation grew because she hadn't been dating anyone for a while. "People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long,'" the singer, who is now married with one child and another on the way, said. "That's kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn't mean you're gay. But I'm never insulted by it, obviously. I mean, I get hit on by the hottest girls ever. Oh, my god, if I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck. But it's just not my thing."

I don’t have a discriminatory policy of who I’m friends with, so yes, I’m friends with women who are gay — gay, straight, it doesn’t matter to me. So I don’t get upset when I hear that, because it is what it is. I guess I could lie about it to seem more exciting."
