What's Matthew Mitcham been up to since he wormed his way into our hearts as the Cutest-Diver-to-Have-Ever-Lived? Mitcham sat down with Oz's SX to give his first interview since winning the gold in Beijing in August and if you weren't already in love with the guy, you will be.

We love how the article is filled with national pride for the first openly gay gold medalist, especially this dig at Michael Phelps: "Unlike some other athletes that come to mind, [Mitcham's]’s not milking his Beijing experience like a frenzied bovine." Hey, those Rosetta Stone/Visa/Speedo/Omega/Powerbar commercials are great!

Matthew talked about NBC's coverage– or the notable lack thereof. The peacock web faced criticism that its cameras turned away from Mitcham as he embraced his family, which included boyfriend Lachlan Fletcher, after his gold medal win, despite making it standard practice for other athletes.

Gay Australian Olympic diver Matthew Mitcham, who came out last month, doesn't appreciate Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's exclusive marital politics:

[Mitcham] certainly bears the markings of a good gay role model: he’s successful, attractive and he’s not shy about speaking up on queer issues. When asked for his view on same-sex marriage, for instance, he has no compunction slamming Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

“I’m not happy with Kevin Rudd,” he says, bluntly. “Kevin Rudd’s opinion of marriage as something that’s only between a man and a woman is quite narrow-minded. During the election campaign he was all about appearing young and cool, but his views on gay marriage make him look quite old-fashioned.”
