Gossip Girl alum Chance Crawford was forced to address the eggplant in the room when his promotional calendar photo shoot for Amazon’s “The Boys” went viral.

Chace Crawford wishes everyone wasn’t so, well, hung up on his manhood, but that seems to be all they’re talking about. Read on to get more tea on the Chance Crawford bulging package pic…

CelebNMusic247.com reports that Chance Crawford finally addressed the promotional calendar photoshoot for Amazon’s “The Boys,” after the internet collectively ogled a prominent crotch bulge in his extra-tight superhero suit.

We can all see Chance Crawford points north by northwest depending on which way you hold the photo in your hand.

Anyways, the 34-year-old actor is speaking out about the eggplant photo stating:

I got a lot of weird DMs in my inbox…A lot of love, a lot of love!

Chance went on to reveal that the groin shot wasn’t an error and its actually tied to a plot in the show, although he promised showrunner and co-creator Eric Kripke he’d keep it a secret.

He added:

There is a story behind that but I’m sworn to secrecy by Eric Kripke. I wish I could give you a good answer, but we’ll never know. It will forever remain a mystery. We will never know!

Crawford, who plays fictional superhero The Deep on the show.

He was reportedly laughing and groaning during his interview with EW, but he remained cool and NOT TOO COCKY about his banana exposure.

Crawford said:

I thought it was so funny, but I don’t think anyone got a bigger kick out of it than Eric Kripke. He thought it was the funniest thing in the world. Oh, God. It was probably a little bit over-covered but I was like, ‘Whatever The Deep can do for you guys to get some press, you know I’m ready to support the show!’ That was one I had to explain to a few people.

In August, Amazon Prime Video sent the calendar to press to promote the new show, which is currently shooting its second season.

Crawford said he was told the promotional shoot was actually a calendar – he decided to be the character and do “silly stuff.”

Chance said:

I knew it was going to be ridiculous…[They] told me, ‘We’re doing calendars.’ I’m thinking, ‘OK, everyone’s got a calendar. That’s great!’ But no. It was just me.  They showed me one of the months, and I’m like, ‘Cool.’ But then I’m flipping through, and I’m like, ‘Wait … I’m in every one of these. It’s just me. Well … s – – t.’ I died laughing.
