00:00Look at this bod. Have you ever seen a body like this?
00:04Yep, that's Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy flexing his acting muscles in American Horror Story
00:10back in 2019. Whew! He also made an appearance in the groundbreaking sitcom The Real O'Neills.
00:17I have a silver medal from the Olympics.
00:19Oh, were they out of gold that day?
00:21Okay, gay athletes stop fighting.
00:24The openly gay athlete is now competing in his fourth Winter Olympics, and he's making
00:28headlines along the way, and pissing some people off.
00:31But first, we gotta talk sports.
00:34On Thursday, Gus competed in the men's free ski halfpipe, and he qualified for the final.
00:39Woohoo!
00:40So all eyes are on Friday's event to see if Gus takes home another medal.
00:43He's already got a silver from Sochi.
00:45In 2014, three Americans swept the ski slope-style event â gold, silver, and bronze, baby!
00:52Now at the age of 34, Gus is representing his mom's home country of Great Britain.
00:56Gus was actually born in the U.K. before moving to Colorado at the age of two.
01:01However, as a self-described half-American on February 4th, he shared this f**k ice photo
01:07with his 1.2 million Instagram followers following the fatal shootings of two protesters in Minnesota.
01:14The pic blew up online, and he defended himself a few days later.
01:17I care about the U.S., and I care about what's happening there, but a lot of the messages
01:24have been awful.
01:27People telling me to kill myself, threatening me, wishing that they'll get to see me blow
01:34my knee or break my neck during my event, calling me slurs.
01:37Like, it's insane.
01:40Scary stuff.
01:42In the comments, Ariana Grande's brother Frankie posted,
01:44I'm so proud of you, Gus.
01:46Thank you for speaking up with your pee-pee.
01:48Gus also made a splash last month when he revealed that he dated Miley Cyrus before coming out in 2015.
01:56He told The New Yorker that he saw parallels to his closeted days while watching Heated Rivalry,
02:02and seeing the character Shane Hollander, played by Hudson Williams, try to date a famous actress,
02:08AKA Rose Landry.
02:09Miley Cyrus?
02:11What gay guy wouldn't want to date her?
02:13Well, regardless of how much Olympic hardware Gus has taken home in his carry-on,
02:17when it comes to breaking boundaries and hearts, Gus gets all the gold medals.
