Olympic swimmer Irie Ryosuke gets naked for ‘ViVi’

Known for winning the bronze medal in mens 100 meter backstroke and the silver medal in the mens 200 meter backstroke at the London Olympics, Irie Ryosuke (22) is now going to bare all for the November issue of fashion magazine ‘ViVi’.

Irie is known for his beautiful backstroke and is valued highly in the swimming world. However, there’s more to him than just swimming. He has a handsome style, beautiful muscles, good fashion sense, and can even play the piano.

He trained his muscles for the London Olympics for about one year. In addition to underwater training, he also does weight lifting to strengthen his abs, upper arms, and dorsal muscles. The result was a bronze and silver medal in London.

Irie will be the first male to do gravure in ViVi. The photoshoot theme is, “Paparazzi shooting a refreshing and sexy bath time”. The magazine will also include an interview where Irie shares his thoughts after winning an Olympic medal, his private life, and what he likes to do when he’s alone.

Irie tweeted about this photoshoot, “Though people call this photoshoot in the bathroom as gravure, but please try and think about this… We’re almost always close to naked when we swim. Lol”
