Michael Phelps Does ‘GQ’ Magazine

And how!
November 26th, 2008

14-time Olympic Gold Medal-champ Michael Phelps is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of GQ magazine which celebrates the Men of the Year. Along with a few other Men of 2008, Phelpsie graces one of four covers of this issue which is out on newsstands now. Here is his coverphoto and a couple extra photos of the athlete from inside the mag:


Say what you will about the lad from the neck up but he has got a bangin’ ass body like nobody’s biz. MMM. Undoubtedly chosen for his stellar performance at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China (where he won 8 Gold Medal) this past August, I think Phelps makes a great choice as one of the Top Men of 2008. After the jump, check out a few more pics from this issue that highlights some of the other men who made GQ‘s list this year …


Yes, yes … that hot piece Jon Hamm keeps showin’ up, don’t he? He looks good. I’m deffo gonna keep my eye on him. Those of you interested in seeing and/or reading about the other men who made the list can click HERE for a flash slideshow of this year’s Men of 2008.

    I still have absolutely no idea who Jon Hamm is.

  2. Sam Says:

    Jon Hamm is brilliant, and is on the best show on TV (Mad Men) and will also be in “the day the earth stood still”.
    Aside from all that he is gorgeous!

  3. Roxster Says:

    Brandon Flowers almost looks like that MTV VJ (I’m totally blanking on his name) in these pics. I definitely didn’t think it was him at first. Must be cause I’m used to seeing him with the eyeliner. Believe it or not, this is actual Phelps after gaining weight. He was more cut in Beijing. It looks like he’s still eating like he swims for hours a day, even though he is taking some time off. And yet, he still has a great body. No fair.

    michael phelps, nice body, shame about the face.
    ps: jon hamm is hotter than all those guys put together.

  5. tiffany Says:

    Whoo…Brandon Flowers & James Franco!!

  6. Vision Says:

    I was hoping I would get the Jon Hamm cover(I subscribe), but unfortunately, I got the one with Phelps on the cover. Now I have to go and purchase the Jon Hamm cover. He’s that great!!!!!

  7. Pandapple Says:

    Phelps is so FUG!!!!! They should’ve put James on the cover again he looks so dreamy in that pic.

  8. Avi Says:

    Poor M Phelps.He’s cursed. The ultimate BUTHISFACE. Then again, I like my men hairy and stocky to average. He’s too tall and looks like Lurch from the Addams Family. But hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Just ask Blake that about Amy W.

  9. Lisa Says:

    Ok James Franco and Brandon Flowers! I need to get a copy of GQ!!!

  10. Meagan Says:

    he looks like Mr Tumnus

  11. jess Says:

    Don’t even care about Phelps’ face. Would still hit.

  12. Little Fascist Panties Says:

    *James Franco = Beauteous Maximus
    *John Malkovich is totally brillz, but that pic of him with pigeons all over him is weird and kinda reminds me of this Tori Amos pic: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/raim0007/wost3307/tori.JPG
    *I love that MIA found her way into the pages of a “Men of the Year” issue (I like both her and MGMT)
    *Seth MacFarlane rules the school.

  13. Pam Says:

    yeah nice body, but what should I do? Put a pillow over his head? Too much work with so many guys out there that have the whole package…

  14. Lili Says:

    That’s not a nice body – that’s a world class body. That’s a total body perfection. I could watch at those pics like, for hours. Next time GQ, speedo has to go. :)

  15. Shelby Says:

    Do you see why Phelpsie has been my obsession for the past 8 years (Sydney, anyone)? He just gets better and better! OMG. Really, O. M. G. I cannot help it! LOVE ME some Michael Fred Phelps!

  16. Shelby Says:

    and I don’t know what the f*&k anyone is talking about with that face. Shizz…he is gorgeous!

  17. Avi Says:

    Shelby and Lilly..how many drugs have you taken today? You really think that face is attractive? Umm ok. I’ve always loved non-conventional beauty, but Michael is just NOT attractive in the slightest. He didn’t smile on the cover because he looks a tad bit better when he is not smiling. I don’t need perfection by any means, but he just nasty!

  18. Shelby Says:

    Avi…what kind of crack are you on to be so closed-minded? Seriously, this is a no-brainer. Hello…GORGEOUS!

    Nasty??? If we were talking Wentz or Michael Jackson or Carrot Top or something, I could see…but he is freaking beautiful – in the FACE!!!

  19. Avi Says:

    haha you are so f’d up. Pete W is much cuter than Michael Phelps. He doesn’t turn me on, but he’s still cuter. M Phelps has the longest, most unattractive face I think I’ve seen in years. Look at the responses on Pink. Almost NO ONE thinks like you. He’s not pretty, he’s not handsome. He has a swimmer’s body. Without that, no one would even look at him, no matter how many drinks they have consumed. I can only guess you are around 18 or younger. I can’t believe you think he’s appealing. You’re nuts.

  20. schmee Says:

    Aw… Phelps is cute. His face just looks odd in the picture with the jacket. In the speedo/shower picture his face looks fine

  21. apples Says:

    …I think I know the guy in the upper-right corner.

    Phelps did good in the Olympics (actually, amazing), but the hype was kind of annoying. And I personally do not find him or his daily calorie intake attractive, he still is a great athlete!

  22. pinkfan Says:

    Whoever styled this cover missed some important accessories: phelph’s half naked swimmates from the olympics giving him bearhugs.

  23. mimi Says:

    The b&w pics look a little homoerotic. I’d still hit that over and over again.

  24. Char Says:

    ahhh my 3 fav men featured here. (well jon hamm is kinda catching up on my list too) LOL at the comment on “Say what you will about the lad from the neck up”. but yes his bod is way too hot to ignore.;)

  25. Tracy Says:

    Uh yeah the picture with the water would be good if they would just cut out the face please. lol. awww but hes so sweet.

  26. MelMel Says:

    Phelpsie is hot in his own way. I bet he’s wayyy hot in person. mmm yum.

  27. prnces Says:

    Michael Phelps has a hot body, but the face… DAMN!

  28. Geret Says:

    I just don’t see the attraction at all.
    Abs, yes. Butt, yes. Pecs, yes. Everything else, not so much thanks!

  29. mel Says:

    lochte has a better body AND a better face.

  30. tatiana Says:

    Michael Phelps is so damn fine. Honestly, who cares about his looks. Hes not bad looking, and he looks good enough for me to do all kinds of unmentionable things to him. :P

  31. PixieBassline Says:

    Avi had some DAMN good points….

  32. Joel Says:

    phelps is hot, but not hot at the same time. Sad. haha.

  33. Shelby Says:

    Avi—

    If I was 18 do you think I’d be remembering the 2000 Olympics so clearly? What does age have to do with it anyway? I’m old enough to have seen many men and in person and in print Mr. Phelps is amazing.

    Everyone has their own taste, but damn, you are wrong. To say he may not be of your particular type would be fine, but to call someone else retarded because they see his face as gorgeous – it just makes you look like a judgmental ass. Sorry…but it does.

    Why does everyone always have to take the low road and bash people for their beauty and others for appreciating it? How ’bout if you don’t have anything nice to say shut the f*&k up!

  34. aldo Says:

    phelps being kinda fugly makes him kinda hot

  35. Lili Says:

    @ Avi: There are a lot of women I know – and I say women, not teen girls – who think Phelps is sexy. I don’t know why you’re so bitter about it. Personally, I’m not into baby faces and pretty boys. I like tall men with strong but lean physique. Add some nice bulge to that and I’m happy. Men should be men.

  36. mimi Says:

    @Lili-Yes indeed! I do believe he has everything I require for a good time! And I am a woman!

  37. sykosoo Says:

    ugh phelpsie. that face. [shudder].

  39. WithLove Says:

    Phelps in the water shot looks Gay Gay Gay. I think they managed to hide his Fug with the scowl though.
