Milo Ventimiglia addresses short-shorts hoopla: They’re ‘normal length’

Milo Ventimiglia is “just a guy leaving the gym.”

However, the “This is Us” actor has been garnering tons of attention with his eyebrow-raising inseam lengths; last month, Ventimiglia’s extra-short shorts went instantly viral when he was caught showing off some extra thigh.

Despite the hoopla, Ventimiglia is staying humble. “I swear to God this is just a guy leaving the gym,” Ventimiglia said in a recent appearance on “The Talk.”

“I wasn’t even thinking about it,” he continued. “The shorts are normal length, but when I work out, I kind of fold them up just so I can work a little harder.”

Though the actor, 43, doesn’t understand the excitement surrounding his gym wear, he’s not hating the attention.

“Whatever people want to do, that’s cool,” he said.

It seems that the increased interest hasn’t deterred Ventimiglia from reaching for his favorite shorts; just a few weeks after the original viral photos surfaced, the star was once again spotted in the leggy look.

Earlier this month, the actor also posted a photo of his now-infamous shorts with the caption, “Ride em high kids.”
