Posted by Harley Neville on Wednesday, 10 January 2018The photo shared on Ellen was different to the original, and he explained someone took the photo and mirrored it to make it look as though he had a crazy "snail-trail".
"Somebody took it and mirrored the image to make it appear to be a snail trail.
"So if you look closely you can tell it's a mirrored image but somehow the mirrored image went bigger than the original," he said.
Neville said that the mirrored image had made it to website BuzzFeed where it was quite popular.

"A lot of women think its yuck, gay men interested in 'bears' love it - they're all over it.

Neville said since he featured on the show he and the photo have blown up online making it difficult to keep up with the notifications.
He told the Herald he had plans for the future but said for the moment he would enjoy in his newfound fame.
