Matthew Mitcham, a former Olympic athlete, has defended his peers from “prudish” remarks about their OnlyFans “side-hustles”.
The 36-year-old Australian diver memorably made history in 2008 as the first openly gay athlete to win a Olympic gold medal.
Since retiring, he has made television appearances on the Australian edition of Dancing with the Stars, where he placed runner-up, and SAS Australia.
Mitcham has also become a successful OnlyFans creator, a move that has since been replicated by Olympic athletes such as Jack Laugher, Daniel Goodfellow, Matty Lee and Noah Williams.
