A post shared by Heath Thorpe (@heaththorpe)It’s been quite the five years for Heath Thorpe. One of our favorite athletic heartthrobs came out as gay and catapulted onto our radar with championship performances on the mat in his native Australia.
The decorated gymnast also turned into a real man. A real, real man.

His chiseled chest and six-pack abs look the same, but pretty much everything else is different…in the best and most possible way. “First pic is spooky omg,” he wrote.
We wouldn’t go that far, but the difference is stark! Thorpe suffered his tw*nk death sometime between 2019 and 2024; and we must say, the afterlife looks pretty good on him.
