Christopher Meloni explains why he has 'so much cake'
Christopher Meloni knows you're obsessed with his caboose.
The actor, who was previously honored with a BuzzFeed list titled "Literally Just 17 Pictures Of Christopher Meloni's Butt," even once read a tweet that said "when I'm sad I just Google Christopher Meloni's butt until I'm not sad anymore" and responded "I think that's why Google was invented — and maybe my a--."
The Law & Order star's hindquarters went viral again this week after Spectrum news reporter Peter Hess posted a photo of the actor wearing tight pants on the set of Organized Crime. "@Chris_Meloni you wanna explain why you have so much cake???" one Twitter user asked in response, surely not expecting a reply. But Meloni delivered: "Sure —" he wrote back, "big birthday (60), big boy (200 lbs), big cake." Adds up.
