Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps looks like Leo Fitzpatrick of Larry Clark’s ‘KIDS’

Haha. I have no idea why I thought about this, but as soon as I saw this guys face on Wikipedia I couldn’t stop thinking about Larry Clark and Telly and Casper and so on. Michael Phelps doesn’t look like the current all grown up Leo Fitzpatrick, but he looks like the prepubescent ‘Telly’ of KIDS. I like that movie a lot despite not really being a fan of either Larry Clark or his other flicks.

As for Michael Phelps, this dude is pretty much a superhero now. Haha. I mean, wtf, this guy now has 16 Olympic Medals, 14 of them being Gold. That’s insane. Geez. The way Wikipedia describes him, makes him sound otherworldly. Check it.

Five physical attributes particularly suit Phelps to swimming:   his long, thin torso (low drag in the water), arms which span 6 feet 7 inches (201 cm) (long, powerful, propulsive “paddles”) disproportionate to his height of 6 feet 4 inches (193 cm),[12] relatively short legs (lower drag, and perhaps the speed enhancement of a hydrofoil),[13][14] coupled to size 14 feet (providing the effect of flippers) by double-jointed ankles he can extend beyond the pointe of a ballet dancer, enabling him to whip his feet (as if they were fins, for maximum thrust through (if not over) the water).

Anyway, all I really wanted to say was how much the two dudes look alike. Hahaha.

Later nerds,
