'Flash': Grant Gustin calls out haters with bonus sneak-peek of new suit for season 5
Grant Gustin knows a thing or two about shutting down trolls. After a leaked photo of the new Flash costume from season 5 left fans of the superhero series divided, the 28-year-old CW star officially unveiled the costume on social media this Friday.
While teasing the brand new look, however, Gustin also seized the opportunity to pack a sarcastic punch against all the haters who recently fuelled a snowball of controversy. The debate was mostly over the latest Flash suit — which many fans found appalling — and also edging on the lines of body-shaming as trolls called out Gustin over his physique in the picture.
Taking a sly jab at all the self-proclaimed critics, though, Gustin shared: "Was given the “ok” to give you guys a little bonus sneak peek. I took this shot late last night during our night shoot. I was clearly feeling myself. I truly love this suit." Adding a bit of arm-flexing for good measure, in the new photo, the Flash actor appeared to be donning the season five suit, a glimpse of which was teased by him just a few hours back.
