Adam Rippon is showing us another side to himself — the side we never get to see! The Olympian took it all off for ESPN Magazine’s annual Body Issue.

“I couldn’t have done this [shoot] while I was in the closet. I think that, with my experience of coming out, I felt so liberated in so many ways,” he said. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve redefined to myself what being masculine is and, to me, being masculine is owning yourself as a man. Maybe I’m not typically masculine, but I feel like a strong-ass man when I go out there and compete.”
