Is jules bouyer gay

French diver Jules Bouyer had a word for those making off-color comments about his body on social media.

The year-old landed in fifth place in the men's synchronized 3-meter springboard event at the Paris Olympics, alongside companion Alexi Jandard. But it wasn't just his dive making waves.

Those watching the event instantly took to social media to aim out a moment where Bouyer was standing sideways and his suit appeared particularly full.

Bouyer reportedly said while he's not bothered by his newfound social media stardom, he wishes people would focus more on his athleticism and had a warning for how it could impact other athletes going forward.

"If some people find it amusing to glance at my pants, that's their obstacle. It amused me," he said, according to Reuters. "That said, we mustn't forget that it can take the athlete out of his bubble and that it can hurt. That wasn't the case for me. It was rather fun. I prefer people to look at my dives rather than my briefs, but there's nothing to worry about."
