This likely wasn’t the attention French diver Jules Bouyer was hoping to get while competing in his first Olympics.
The 22-year-old had the internet buzzing at the 2024 Paris Games when a snapshot of him in his diving swimwear went viral.
Many seemed distracted by his unmentionables under his white, red and blue swimsuit, instead of being focused on his aquatic skills during a recent meet.
