Golden boy! |
Hi sunshines,
See that glint? It’s the shine of an Olympic gold medal, clasped in the manly paws of SA swimmer Cameron van der Burgh. Go on, bite it. It’s the real dealio… how cool!
And what a super duper cool dude Cam is.
Gossip Guy met him earlier this year (remember that A-List radio show thingy that I did???), when an Olympic gold was still just a pipe dream and he was a perfect guest. Polite. Sweet. Good to look at.
So, in honour of Cam’s Olympic triumph, Gossip Guy just had to put some especially tough questions to the swim-meister. Needless to say, he handled them well. You might even say he did ‘swimmingly’. [Oh the chuckles – Gossip Guy.]
Who’s your #1 favourite celebrity crush?
Natalie Portman. I saw her at a function during the Olympics and she is extremely beautiful.
Complete the sentence: I would never, ever… sell my gold medal.
What do you wear to bed?
Boxers. I like to be comfortable and find wearing a t-shirt irritates me. [With that buff torso we can see why – Gossip Guy.]
With the sun setting, Cameron’s shirt automatically disappeared. |
If you could trade places with any other celebrity for 24 hours, who would you choose?
Lionel Messi. I love football and would love to play a game in the Nou Camp as him. [For those who’re only here for the shirtless pics and have no idea what a ‘Nou Camp’ is, never fear. Gossip Guy has Googled. It’s a soccer stadium in Barcelona. And now you know! – Gossip Guy.]
If you could have 2 super-powers, what would they be?
The ability to fly would be amazing. Then I wouldn’t need to buy airline tickets anymore.
Super brains. To be able to read women and understand why they do things would be nice. [Damn, you’d make a fortune, flying around and reading womens’ minds – Gossip Guy.]
What would you do with 5 million bucks?
I would buy myself a nice house. [They do say property is a solid investment. Wise move! – Gossip Guy.]
If you could have tea with the Queen, what would you say to her?
That she was awesome in the opening ceremony of the Olympics. [If only she’d have smiled though… – Gossip Guy.]
Miss Moneypenny had aged considerably |
What skill do you wish you had?
I wish I had better ball skills. Playing in a team sport is a lot of fun. Just wish I was better at it. [“Ball skills” – hahaha. Childish I know. What can I say? – Gossip Guy.]
You’re having a dinner party. Which 5 people would you invite?
Nelson Mandela, Richard Branson, Trevor Noah, John Mayer and Robin van Persie, the Arsenal striker. [Room for one more? – Gossip Guy.]
