Welling even stopped by the comments section to add his own punchline: “Came for the sights.”

Another added, “glaze your daddy.”
“ain't no way broski 😭🙏,” a third commented.
“Tom Welling liked this post,” a fourth fan gushed.
Welling's willingness to laugh at himself also gave his former Smallville costar Michael Rosenbaum an opportunity to join the fun.
