A French diver has sent Olympic fans back into meltdown after wowing crowds with his tight trunks once again.
Home favorite Jules Bouyer is hoping to win a gold medal in Paris when he competes in the individual 3m springboard event this week.
Last Friday, he appeared in the men’s synchronised 3m springboard final alongside Alexis Jandard, where the pair finished in fifth place.
But it wasn’t his diving skills that caught the attention of fans, rather it was his fitted speedos.
The 22-year-old from Annecy was instantly dubbed a heartthrob, and now he is back sending heart rates up across the world.

Following the online craze last week, underwear company Shinesty reportedly offered to keep the 22-year-old’s famous bulge protected for life.
According to TMZ Sport, officials over at Shinesty – who are famous for offering ‘Ball Hammock Pouch Underwear’ designed to provide extra support for male genitals – are ready to hand Bouyer a lifetime supply of their undies.
‘When we saw what Olympic diver Jules Bouyer was packing in his South of France, it didn’t matter that we were an American company,’ a rep for the company is quoted as saying.
‘We wanted to give it a gold medal and protect that front truck of his for many Olympics to come.’
Shinesty is said to have already reached out to Bouyer’s family and Olympic authorities to begin talks over a potential deal with the diving star.
But Jules not only knows how to work a diving board but also the camera, as he is signed with Ford Models and appeared on the front of Athletica Magazine.
Bouyer started diving at the age of six and joined the senior French team’s training camp back in 2020.
He won both the Junior European and Junior World champion titles in 2021 before qualifying for an Olympics spot on home soil in Paris.
