Milo Ventimiglia insists he didnt intend to spark mens summer fashion discourse when he was spotted in a pair of so-called short shorts last month.

Appearing on The Talk Monday, the This Is Us and Gilmore Girls star opened up about his buzzed-about gym attire, explaining that his shorts appeared to be shorter than they actually are following a mid-workout adjustment.

I swear to God, this is just a guy leaving the gym, he said. I wasnt even thinking about it. The shorts are normal length, but when I work out, I kinda pull them up just so I can work a little harder.

Ventimiglia, 43, had fans swooning in April when he was photographed on at least two occasions leaving a West Hollywood gym in running shorts that showed off his impressively toned legs.

Milo Ventimiglia set off Twitter last week after a photo was shared online of the actor wearing (very) short shorts post-workout

Are you for the men wearing short shorts fashion trend, or against it?

Milo Ventimiglia set off Twitter last week after a photo was shared online of the actor wearing (very) short shorts post-workout

The photos coincided with the hashtag #5InchSeam going viral on TikTok, and days later, Mens Health responded to the frenzy by declaring, The summer of 2021 will be all about guys showing some leg.

Since then, media outlets like Harpers Bazaar and GQ followed suit, with the latter urging men to free the calf! And maybe some of the thigh!

Earlier this month, Ventimiglia himself appeared to have caught on. On May 6, he posted a photo of a pair of ASRV Sportswear shorts to Instagram with the caption: Ride em high kids.
