American swimmer Ryan Lochte first came to my attention when he covered US Vogue‘s June 2012 issue, and now that the London Olympics are well under way I literally can’t check Twitter or Facebook without more gushing updates about him. Everyone appears to be in the grips of a full-on Ryan Lochte obsession (is he the new Gosling?), so here are five semi-important facts you’ll need to know about the 27-year-old gold medal winner…
1. He’s not a relationship kind of guy. His mum told Today.com, “He goes out on one-night stands. He’s not able to give fully to a relationship because he’s always on the go.”
2. He wishes he could read women’s minds. Ryan told Women’s Health, “It’s impossible to know what they’re thinking. If I could have one superpower, I’d be like Mel Gibson in What Women Want, where he reads women’s minds.”
3. If he winks at you you’re in! “Some guys keep staring, but I’ll give a wink and come back later,” Ryan revealed. “It keeps her thinking.” (How would he know? Is he Mel Gibson now?)
4. If you want the wink of approval you need to invest in a pair of white jeans (sorry ladies). According the Ryan they’re the “second sexiest thing” a woman can wear. The first? “One of my long-sleeve button-down shirts and that’s all.”
5. Ryan would love to design men’s clothing “with an edgy flair” and told USA Today he’d like to customise his Ralph Lauren Team USA kit. “I think the uniform is nice the way it is,” he said, “but maybe I’d bling up the belt! And add my green shoes!”
Are you a Ryan Lochte fan? Have you started wearing white jeans in hope of catching his eye?
