Illinois Representative Aaron Schock discussed Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's physique as he strolled down Ybor City's gay neighborhood in Tampa, site of the Republican National Convention.

Schock, who showed off his six pack abs on last year's June cover of Men's Health Magazine, was stopped on the street by a TMZ.com film crew and asked if he had any fashion advice for Ryan.

“I think Paul's in great shape. I think a little bit of leaner attire to help accentuate that physique he works so hard to, you know, maintain. But he also, he works out for the right reasons, too. It's not all vanity. When he was a young man, he lost his grandfather. Also at a young age, I believe under 50. And so he knows that being physically fit isn't just about looking good in clothing but it's also about living longer.”

TMZ.com reported that they caught up with Schock as he was leaving an event for youth, sponsored by MSNBC's Chuck Todd.

Cameras continued to roll as Schock walked and talked, passing several stores selling gay-related paraphernalia such as rainbow flags and vanity underwear. (The video is embedded on this page. Visit our video library for more videos.)
