    The photo had a rather cryptic message attached to it, with Tommy writing, “the POWER that that has. the TAN LINE that that has. the CLEARANCE that that has. the TALENT that that has. the PROFILE that that has. the INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATIONS that that has”

    He had previously noted in a post that he was looking very pale.

    Fans were quick to heap praise on the photo, with one user saying, “This is an amazing photo. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. You do you. Much love.” while another admitted that they were “horny” looking at the photo.
