Diver Tom Daley is on vacation in Greece. A photo he posted yesterday probably prompted all who saw it to zoom in on one particular detail: Just what is that wording across his bulge?
We mean, that is the only reason you zoomed in, right?
Unsurprisingly, the lettering reveals the brand of swimwear. The speedo-style briefs come from KVRT STVFF. The make promotes itself as “designed for anyone who feels confident in their own skin.” You can check out more of its designs, which include neon pink jockstraps, on its Instagram page.
Tom captioned his photo, “Holding on to summer”. He included several other shots in the photo dump, including his husband Dustin Lance Black soaking up the sun at a beautiful, beachside location.
How about we take this to the next level?

Dustin Lance Black reveals “serious head injury”
A day earlier, Dustin revealed there was a more serious reason for their Greek escape.

Returning to Instagram after an absence of a few weeks, Dustin said, “So I vanished for a while… A month ago I sustained a serious head injury that put me out of commission.
“Showing little improvement, my doctors ordered me to shut off my brain in hopes of it healing. This has been a challenging, frightening time for a creative type who depends on what’s in his skull to work, care and love. And now I understand the road back will be long. But this week my sweet, over-the-top husband took us to the Greek Islands to make me shut off.
“I can already feel this trip is a step in the right direction, and I finally feel safe sharing a bit again. Thank you for all of your love and patience. More to come. Promise.”
Incident during date night
Dustin revealed no more about the nature of his head injury. However, a month ago, he was involved in an incident at a gay bar, Freedom, in London. He was struck on the back of the head by a well-known, local club promoter and subsequently called the police to investigate.

London’s Metropolitan Police confirmed at the time to The Sun, “Police were called at 00:29hrs on Thursday, 18 August to a club in Wardour Street following reports of an altercation involving a man in his 40s and a woman in her 30s. There were no arrests. Enquiries continue.”
A spokesperson for Dustin Lance Black told the newspaper the screenwriter and producer called police after someone “punched him in the back of the head.” They said Daley and Black were out enjoying a date night without four-year-old son Robbie.
“Tom and Lance were out on a date night without Robbie. They went to Freedom after dinner.
“Someone punched Lance in the back of the head, the person who punched him was removed from Freedom by security who checked CCTV, it was reported to police who are looking into it.”

Oh please….everyone will not be zooming in on his bulge. And who hasn’t been hit on the head in a gay bar!!?? No pity from me. Wimp.
Cam
Sweetie, you ALWAYS come in here under one of your many troll screenames to ALWAYS attack any out of the closet LGBTQ celebs. Of COURSE you’re attacking them. Meanwhile, you’re ALWAYS here to defend anti-LGBTQ bigots.
Your trolling is sad and weak.
abfab
Sorry CaMORON! I am the one and only abfab. Seek counseling now, even tho it’s really too late for you.
LumpyPillows
I zoomed in, for sure.
No, getting hit in the back of the head hard enough to cause injury is not OK. No where.
thebaddestbabby
Agreed, wimp. When I first read, “my doctors ordered me to shut off my brain,” I thought he was talking about a medically-induced coma. But no, this big baby is just talking about his some mental health person telling him to stop overthinking things. Talk about a drama queen!
flim
he had a concussion after being punched in the back of the head /whatever you think of him thats not fun/ it does take a while to get back to normal after a severe concussion
Diplomat
Wimp? No.
Dustin is a highly acclaimed highly productive member of the entertainment industry. A man of his caliber would hate to lose his energy to trauma rendering him unable to produce.
Anyone suggesting otherwise is ignorant, uninformed and downright cruel.

@Diplomat
Sorry cupcake, you already burned this screename, trying to rehab it to troll stealthily isn’t gonna work.
As always, your trolling is sad and weak.
LumpyPillows
Lol, cam, always the dick. No one made you boss.
still_onthemark
So if you disagree with Cam you’re a troll, but if you AGREE with Cam you’re still a troll who’s acting “stealthily”? Does this make sense to anyone?

Cam and Abfab going after each other – how delicious!
It’s like resurrecting Karen Ann Quinlan and Terry Schiavo for a round of “Jeopardy.”

Didn’t need to zoom in. Tom’s bulge almost hit me in the face. ?
Louis
@still_onthemark You hit the nail on the head. When you disagree, you’re a troll, when you agree, you’re still a troll.
Personally, my theory is that he is a Queerty employee who makes such comments so that people “engage” on the page with more comments (defending themselves, taking a swipe at him, etc).
The best thing to do is accept that he has a motive (Queerty employee) or an issue with his brain, feel sorry for him (because either one is just sad), and pass by his comments. Engaging with them is how he gets his kicks.

Something about these two gives off…… creepy vibes.

Hunky Tommy can creep me out all that he wants.

Two successful, high-profile, married gay men with a child? Yeah, creepy. Sign me up.

Was the “KVRT STVFF” paid product endorsement?
Was this disclosed?
mujerado
What business is it of yours?
nm4047
he’s a brand ‘ambassador’ paid to wear the stuff since early ’22

seems funny to be reporting on a diver posting a picture in speedos like its a scandal

I certainly empathize with Dustin having Had a Brain Injury myself. I lost all creative thinking and couldn’t work etc etc it was extremely frustrating as I’m a high energy High output highly productive person when not in that position. It took a very long time for me to get over it and I hope he gets over it soon. It’s very frustrating and no day at the park.

Bulge?
He ain’t no Jon Hamm.

His bulge is perfectly nice. Not everyone wants the grand canyon for an anus.

I had the pleasure of standing next to Tom Daley in an airport bathroom once. The British team arrived in Tokyo for training at the same time my plane did. I snuck at peek while at the urinal, and I can confidently say Tom is quite well endowed
johncp56
I says this many times, there are some men i would be so very attrated to and the size does not matter, i been wiht stud bodybuilders with micro bulge and i,m still in heaven, I can blow a mouse dick and be turned on
bachy
I like their idea of taking a break from the rat race. Wish I could afford an escape to a Greek island like that!

You should’ve included that the promoter alleges that Dustin Lance Black assaulted her first by throwing his drink on her, causing her to retaliate with a smack, and not a punch. Since we have no idea whether she underplayed her assault or whether he overplayed it (like Rudy Giuliani just did), you should present all of the facts
nm4047
I guess Lance needs to remind us of his (not) noticeable absence from social media. Would assume if it was noticed, there would be a comment from his ‘fans’.
joey62
one would actually have to zoom in considering it really is not more then a bulgette
Tranceboi1
Does anyone on here no how to act like a grown adult. Give me a break. Need to avoid this site like the plague.
abfab
No. No one nos.

“I got hit over the head so we fled to Greece for a month and now here’s a pic of my package” ????
So I guess he’s recovering. Must be nice to have the ability to put life on pause for a month and go to a beautiful island to get your head together. I’m lucky if I find time to mow the lawn. Can’t imagine that life but it certainly doesn’t seem to be enough as his ego still craves attention from so many.

Lance got a head injury not Tom. You sound jealous that they both have worked hard at their careers and can afford to do that.
SDR94103
yucky.
ss2509
I lived in L.A. in the 1980’s and did slot more cuter guy than Tom whatever his name is. AND Lance whatever is a frustrated cradle robber!
heath0043
So if 2 people fall in love and are different ages the older one is a cradle robber? It’s not like he is Tom’s sugar daddy or anything. Tom worked his ass off to become an Olympic champion and has many sponsors so he sure doesn’t need Lance’s money.
ss2509
They’re both attention whores
