Actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan has issued a cheeky response to an eyebrow-raising claim about his self-pleasuring habits.

Last week, comedian Jon Shefsky shared a video segment on Morgan as part of his Jacket Report series, in which he examines a male celebrity’s hands in order to determine how many times a week they “jack it”, or masturbate.

In the clip, Shefsky offers his humorous assessment of Morgan’s hands, eventually concluding: “I’m going to say 20 times a week.”

Two days after the video was posted on Shefsky’s Instagram, Morgan himself responded in the comments, noting that his wife, One Tree Hill actor Hilarie Burton, had spotted it and passed it along.

“It’s some interesting research,” the Walking Dead and Grey’s Anatomy actor quipped. “I can’t confirm nor deny the 20 A WEEK?!?! That’s a heavy workload for anyone… much less an old fart........
