Aussie Olympian Matthew Mitcham Hits the Gay Newsstand
Matthew Mitcham is splashed across the cover of gay Australian mag DNA this month.
Last week it was reported that Mitcham was close to signing a sponsorship deal with swimwear designer aussieBum. SameSame reports that it's just a rumor...for now.
Said Aussiebum's Elsa Dunn: "The emails have been coming thick and fast about Matthew and aussieBum. The news that we’re sponsoring him and have asked him to be the face of aussieBum is just as your article outlines…a rumour. Having said that however, we certainly would love to have a talk with Matthew on his return and open the floor up to discussing not only possible sponsorship opportunities but to have Matthew play a role in our company….As to what that role looks like we haven’t planned that far."
They did manage to snag an interview with Mitcham in an aussieBum T-shirt prior to his Sydney win. Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...

Pardon my french, but that boy makes me want to do a reverse three and a half somersault twist in the pike position all over his face.

I have no idea why some people think Australian accents are sexy, but they sure do have some sexy men.
Good for Matthew. Let's hope AussieBum eventually hits him up and does offer him a sponsorship (and that "special position" there was some random babbling about).

That is one fine looking man.

The only out gay man at the Olympics wins gold. What a guy!

Good on him! But they could've chosen a better photo for the cover...he looked way hotter during the Olympics...

Guh! What a fucking sexy man-piece!

Beautiful inside and out (in large part because he is out and proud). I hope he cashes in big-time.

I've also been featured on the cover of DNA and glad to share the page with him. It gives the magazine some cred now.

This is one instance where they should have laid off the Photoshop, but noooooo...
