In the first of a three-clip series, this afternoon Samsung published a short video which chronicles gay Olympian Gus Kenworthy’s “Road To Pyeongchang.” Samsung is just one of the major endorsements earned by Kenworthy, who won a silver in Sochi and is a favorite to medal in South Korea. On an unrelated note, there’s this:
Olympic freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy is a king in his sport. And it turns his celebrity doppelgänger is a king, too — or was, anyway — in the North. Of Westeros, that is. As the internet noted, and Kenworthy called out on his own Twitter and Instagram Story, the athlete shares an undeniable resemblance to Scottish actor Richard Madden, perhaps best known for playing the ill-fated Robb Stark in the early seasons of Game of Thrones. “Uh oh,” he called out to Madden on social media, “they’re on to us…”
