‘I just called 1980 and told it I wanted my six-pack back — except in those days I was drinking and I’m afraid they’ll think I want beer,’ he joked in the caption.

He then posted a second snap that was taken in 1977, which featured him grinning at the camera with his abs on full display.

‘They used to call me Sweet n’ Low on the streets back then,’ he wrote. ‘Me, wasted at 22 years old in 1977 — I am not proud of it.

‘I love that some folks think I look like my hero, Robin Williams and even Paul Rudd.’

Now, the photos have resurfaced online, and many users have branded the late star as a ‘hunk,’ a ‘stud,’ and a ‘smoke show’ in them.

‘Young Leslie Jordan was a hunk,’ wrote one person, while another added, ‘Young Leslie Jordan! Oh he was hot.’

‘Why have I never seen these pictures of young Leslie Jordan before? He was an adorable older gentleman and an absolute hunk when he was younger,’ said someone else.

A fourth tweet read, ‘Let’s all remember Leslie Jordan as he’d want to be remembered, as a hot young daddy.’

‘More people deserve to know that Leslie Jordan was an absolute smoke show when he was young,’ gushed a different user. ‘May he rest in peace.’

People branded the late star as a ‘hunk’ and a ‘stud’ in the old pictures, and one user asked people to ‘remember him as he’d want to be remembered – as a hot, young daddy’

‘Young Leslie Jordan was a straight up hottie,’ tweeted another person, while someone else asked, ‘Did anyone realize how hot Leslie Jordan was? Good godd**n.’

‘Young Leslie Jordan could get it,’ read a different tweet, while another said, ‘That shirtless photo of young Leslie Jordan is about to send me to Hell for disrespecting the dead.’
