It's no secret that we love out Australian diver Matthew Mitcham. We first noticed him when he made his historic splash at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, wining gold in the 10-meter platform. His artistry and exuberance won us over, and we've been following his career and life ever since.
This video encapsulates why we're smitten with him. While preparing for the Delhi competition, he talks about his early life, his love for his grandmother, he beans a kid in dodgeball, and pretends to enjoy a vile plate of food, all while beaming that megawatt smile!
In 2011, Matt became the spokesman for Funky Trunks. If "Funky" now means hot and adorable, then we agree!
Matt has stepped up not only as an elite athlete, but as an elite gay athlete, and in 2009 he was made Chief of Parade of Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
