Hudson Williams’ Swastika Photo Ignites Fury

Actor Hudson Williams has been linked to a resurfaced photo with a drawing of a swastika on his head, but insiders close to the star say he wasn't aware it was there. 

The Canadian actor, 25, who plays Shane Hollander on the Max drama Heated Rivalry, was seen in a picture uploaded to social media over the weekend with the symbol clearly drawn above his right eyebrow.

Sources linked to the Kelowna, Canada-born actor told TMZ on Sunday that the photograph was taken while the actor was a high school student in his home country.  

Williams had been taking part in a rite-of-passage campout where students are known to consume and pull pranks on one another, insiders told the outlet.

Some of the practical jokes included Sharpie drawings on people's faces, bodies and clothes, sources said, purposely penning things that would be extremely offensive as a joke.

The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Williams for further comment on the story. 

Williams was not aware of the things that were being sketched on his face by his drunken peers, sources told the outlet.
