Nevertheless, Twitter users were thrilled by the sight of the shirtless hunk.
“This old house still has good bones,” one wrote. Another commented, “Nice house. I would buy it.”

The link in the tweet leads to a Sun-Sentinel article the sexy photo was probably meant to advertise, a story about Key West’s annual Tropical Heat festivities, during which the “longtime LGBTQ destination” will be “overrun with bearded and hairy men again.”
But hey, if the newspaper teased more of its articles with images of nearly-naked fellas, perhaps they’d see a bulge in readership!
