Aussie Olympic diving champion Matthew Mitcham has officially entered the OnlyFans arena, reported the New York Post.
Mitcham was the star of the 2008 Beijing Games and became the first Aussie in 84 years to win gold in the 10m platform. Now Mitcham seems to be ready to show off his other gold medal.
Make no mistake, Mitcham is making it very clear why he is joining OnlyFans: "The money, duh," he quipped, speaking to Seven's "The Morning Show" from his home in London.
Mitcham reportedly battled a methamphetamine addiction in 2011 after having some trouble with the "post-Games comedown." He has now been sober for seven years, finally getting clean in 2016.
Recently marrying his partner Luke Rutherford, Mitcham shared that both of them will be creating content on the platform.
Mitcham added, "But also, do you know that quote Moira Rose (from 'Schitt's Creek') said 'take a thousand naked photographs of yourself while you're young and beautiful', so I took 8000 just to be safe. "It was a pretty quiet period over Christmas and that got me through quite easily. It's just another way for people to connect with me.
Don't expect anything "too raunchy" though he says.
"I just like to show off my beautiful body, which is very quickly becoming more of civilian body than an athlete body but people want to see it," Mitcham said.
