“Hello, NYCC,” Welling, 49, wrote in a since-deleted Friday, October 10, Instagram Stories post, per a screenshot obtained by Page Six, referring to the New York Comic Con convention currently underway.
While the Smallville alum showed off his hotel view of New York City, the window accidentally caught a NSFW glimpse of Welling fully nude. Welling, who eventually deleted the image, has not further addressed the incident. Us reached out to a rep for the actor for comment.
Welling recently traveled to New York City for its local Comic Con, which will feature a special 25th anniversary reunion panel of the Smallville cast. He notably starred as Clark Kent a.k.a Superman.
“I think for Clark, he got to relax and have a little sarcasm and a little bit of fun,” Welling recalled of his character’s romance with Erica Durance‘s Lois Lane on a recent episode of the “Inside Of You” podcast. “Before, it was the weight of the world, you know, emotionally, you didn’t get to see that side. That’s what I saw come out in Clark through the Lois relationship.”
While Clark and Lois’ teen romance remains a staple of Smallville lore, Welling enjoyed a certain arc even more.
“It’s ‘Transference’ when Clark and Lionel switch bodies,” he recalled of his favorite episode. “I don’t know if it’s a perfect episode, but I just remember being like, ‘I got to put my big boy shoes on for this one, like, this is John Glover‘s character.'”

Glover, 82, appeared on the CW hit as the villainous Lionel Luthor, who infamously swapped places with Clark in prison during season 4.
“I wasn’t supposed to come in until the afternoon at the prison and James Marshall called me. He goes, ‘I need you to come to set.’ It’s, like, 8:30 in the morning,” Welling recalled of shooting the body-swap scene. “I’m like, ‘Of course.’ … And he goes, ‘John Glover needs your help.'”
According to Welling, Glover had allegedly struggled to master Clark’s stillness.
“John’s in a cell. And I go over to him, [and ask], ‘John, what’s going on?’ And he goes, ‘Tom, how do you do it?'” Welling added. “And I go, ‘What?’ He goes, ‘How do you do nothing? You just stand there.'”
He continued, “Obviously, I look up to him as one of the greatest actors I’ll ever be around in my life, and we had a brief conversation. I don’t know if it’s what I said but maybe how I said it that [about] my vibe, and he sort of settled into something. I just remember that being like, ‘This is this is amazing what we’re trying to do here.'”
