Olympic medalist wears Kinky Boots

By Darren Mew

Gay Australian olympic diver, Matthew Mitcham, put on a pair of red kinky boots to promote the Kinky Boots musical.

The retired olympic diver took to his Instagram account to promote the musical Kinky Boots in Melbourne.

He writes: ‘Being myself hasn’t always been easy. It got better when i accepted who I am… it got a whole lot better when I became proud of who I am.’

‘Just look at me: a full-grown man playing the ukulele wearing sparkly red boots… I couldn’t be happier if I tried!’ he goes on to say in the post.

He wears the boots to promote #Justbe campaign which celebrates the Australian version of the musical.

This certainly is a new look for the athlete. After all we’re used to him in his speedos.
