With his long hair hidden under a USA cap, his beautiful mustache, his arm tattoos, his little overweight and his psychedelic-colored shoes, the American curler Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, who is the curling champion Matt Hamilton and why he doesn't cut his hair: "That's when I'll do it"”>Matt Hamilton did not go unnoticed Thursday, on the ice of the National Aquatics Center in Beijing Thursday. In a few hours, this Olympic curling champion in 2018 has become the darling of the Olympic Games but also the mascot of Internet users having fun with his particular style.
An attraction that has been the subject of jokes on social networks or its Wikipedia page, presenting it as a member of the family of … Mario. A reference to his style of dress four years ago when he was dressed all in red, with a big mustache, like the famous video game character. At the time, even the American team took part in the buzz by taking up a photo montage on Twitter. The 32-year-old athlete is also presented regularly – and without really knowing why – as a cougar hunter or even married to his sister.
The person concerned, who has his little notoriety in the United States, takes this “Wikipedia sports vandalismas described ESPN in an article, with a sacred sense of self-mockery, not hesitating to quote with humor recently a fake news circulating about him and describing him as being a man “very involved in his association to treat the irritable bowel syndrome from which he suffers».
«I’m not even the most famous Wisconsin resident with a great mustache but I love being at the center of these conversations so these Wikipedia edits are fine with me“, had confided the American before flying to Beijing to the American chain. “Most people know that all of this is edited by anyone and it is possible to go and edit everything. It’s the Internet. The only way to beat this system is to ignore it“, he had reacted with philosophy.
The curler is even rather flattered that people are interested in him and his unique look. A unique style, which he cultivates carefully since it is directly linked to his involvement in the fight against cancer. A year ago, he decided to touch his hair more to raise awareness about this cause and raise funds for research. This celebrity peak should allow him to inflate his kitty a little more.
