Diplo has spent the summer spinning beats until the early hours of the morning, but has still found time to flaunt his muscled body in the sun .
After headlining US festivals like Hard Summer and Lollapalooza, the sexually fluid 44-year-old DJ escaped to Europe where he’s been lighting up massive nightclubs in Mykonos, St. Tropez, Monte Carlo, and Ibiza with his EDM magic.
And while sleeping through the day to work all night comes with the territory of being a club music impresario, Diplo has managed to stay in tip-top shape.
Earlier this week, the “Don’t Forget My Love” hitmaker was spotted getting off a boat in Italy with his ripped abs looking flexed and fabulous.
Put us on his guest list, plus one!
While his musculature speaks for itself, Diplo has definitely made physical fitness a priority.
On Monday, he posted a video of one of his workouts and included some inspiring words for his fellow nightlife workers.
“You think we live a life of drinking, drugs and sex but we usually just catch colds and get sleep deprived. To all my DJs, musicians, crew.. travelers .. workers .. the people that make the summer great, It’s a very demanding job so make sure you always make time for yourself no matter how hard it is and how little free time you have,” Diplo captioned the shirtless clip of him sparring in the boxing ring.
“You only have one life and one body that God gave you, so even if i dj til sunrise- I wanna be up before the flight to walk, run, swim, meditate or get my ass kicked by a boxing coach I found in the gym.”
There’s no denying his bare torso is quite the sight to see, but Diplo – whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz – has had quite the revealing year in other ways too.
Back in March, the Grammy winner made headlines after disclosing he’s had sexual relations with men in the past. Up until then, most assumed he was strictly heterosexual since he’s had had high-profile relationships with Katy Perry and M.I.A., and has two children with Kathryn Lockhart, and one child with former pageant queen Jevon King.
But Diplo rolls deep.
“I’ve gotten a lot of blow jobs, but I don’t know,” he said during an appearance on Emily Ratajkowski’s “High Low” podcast.. “I mean, getting a blow job is not that gay, I think.”
While elaborating further on his same-sex experiences, Diplo stopped short of labeling his sexuality. Sort of.
“I don’t want to define that I’m gay,” Diplo said. “I think the best answer I have is I’m not not gay.”
And just like that … the label “not not gay” was born!
Whether bisexual, fluid, gay, or not not gay, we support anyone speaking honestly and without shame about their truth.
Here are some more shots of Diplo living his best “not gay gay” life and looking good doing it:

Ridiculous old guy with thinning hair trying to appear hip and young. And somebody scribbled all over his body, but you noticed his abs?
Looks like the stereotypical, aging beach bum to me.
Brian
And you’re showing us a different kind of ugliness. I would always rather be with a guy whose hair is thinning / receding (it’s just biology) than with a whiny, petty, nasty queen.

@Brian
Get real. He’s displaying himself for comments, and that’s what I’m providing. No problem here with aging or receding hairlines, unless you’re hanging with children and saying stupid stuff like you’re 20-something.

Uhm … 44 is ridiculously old???
What are you … 18?
barryaksarben
He is a hot man. What is your sick fascination with only young men. I truly want to see a picture of YOU. I doubt you could hold a candle to this guy. I am old and have kept my hair which is NOTHING but genetics. Im 66, a retired banker and I love guys with tattoos so it makes me wonder just how old all the men here are when they act like tats are the worst thing ever. My parents acted the same way back when only old sailors had them. Pat of being a successful DJ is being KNOWN so yes he has his phot taken often, again I wonder how old someone is that doesn’t know that
barryaksarben
I agree with Brian. Men can be hot from 21 til any age esp when they are successful run their chosen field no matter the field as long as it is legal. He is only 44 a damned good age
SUPREME
think of all those young people who died back in the eighties who never had a chance to make it into their “ridiculously old” forties. age is a gift we’re given. grow up FreddieW and just pray you live long enough to be as “ridicules” as him.

They left out the quote “and so not not straight”.

Not impressed.

He’s…a rapist… Did we already forget that’s he a rapist?
barryaksarben
who did he rape? I honestly hadn’t heard that.
Donston
He’s decent looking. And his journey with his sexual dimensions, love lifestyle, insecurities/ego, and wherever he is in the gender, sexual, affection, romantic attachment, emotional investment, commitment spectrum is his own journey. But also, the dude is known widely in the industry for hooking up with underage chicks. Never mind that he’s just cringe-y as hell. So, is it really worth hyping him up just because he has a six pack and somewhat admits to being at least a bit queer adjacent/a little bit gay-ish? Queer media really needs to do more research on who they prop up. Not every white guy with a six pack needs to be these thirst driven articles.

“Ridiculous old guy?” For your sake I hope you depart this earth before age 40 so as not to suffer the ravages of old age.

There is not a musician / entertainment industry dude who hasn’t screwed a groupie or two. Not to condone “rape,” but it is what it is and it, always has been. Diplo and Maluma, to me, are similarly queer or perhaps I should say queer-adjacent?
While Diplo has an alternative burnout vibe, Maluma leans glossy metrosexual.
