After coming out as gay on the cover of ESPN magazine, Gus Kenworthy has done a lot of interviews and guestings but in a recent video appearance with social media star and hairstylist, Kyle Krieger, the free skier proved he has not ran out of new revelations to share.
Gus Kenworthy's video appearance with Kyle Krieger is part of the social media star's "unCUT" series, where Krieger cuts guys' hair and asking them his golden question: Are you cut or uncut?
The appearance revealed that it was Kyle Krieger who styled Gus Kenworthy for the ESPN cover, where he came out as gay. And for Kenworthy's video, both the Olympic medalist and Krieger appeared shirtless. So is Kenworthy cut or uncut?
"I'm uncut. I was born in the U.K.," Kenworthy revealed (via Towleroad).
The other things Kenworthy shared include his favorite Sochi Olympic memory was winning with two others from the U.S. Team.
Once again, Kenworthy reiterated that he hopes his coming out and becoming the first gay action sport star would have a positive effect for others, saying, "I hope that me coming out and my cover helps push the world and sports especially to a place where it isn't a big deal to come out. I don't think it should be newsworthy, I don't think that it should warrant a cover."
He added, "I didn't have a role model when I was a kid and I think if there had been someone that I was really excited about and I looked up to and they had been openly gay and had been cool with it, I think it would have helped me a lot."
Meanwhile, in a separate interview with US Weekly, Kenworthy also opened up about crying after hooking up with girls, on a time before he came out and he tried to maintain a "straight persona."
"I used to hook up with girls to be cool with the guys," Kenworthy told US Weekly (via Queerty). "There were times I would cry afterward."
He added that he needed to appear "straight" because he was worried about his professional career. "I was worried that I'd be known as 'the gay skier'... and everything else about me would be overlooked," he said. "I have a big fan base of young girls, and I didn't want to disappoint them."
