Olympian Johnny Weir has compared men
to batteries.
The 29-year-old Weir has a new gig
working for NBC covering the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
In an interview with Philadelphia
magazine, the figure skating champ insisted NBC was going to “let
Johnny be Johnny.”
“They understood that I'm clever, I'm
flamboyant [and] I have a crazy dress sense,” Weir said, adding
that his wardrobe would be “more of Stanley Tucci's character from
The Hunger Games.”
“I'm trying to stay between the lines
of Johnny on Skating with the Stars and the rest of the NBC men's
family in Brooks Brothers,” he
explained.
And how are men like batteries?
“I come from the school of thought
that from before your competition until the competition ends, you
release no fluids. Men are kind of like a battery that gets drained
after you have sex,” Weir said of hooking up in the Olympic
Village.
