Gus Kenworthy Shares Nude Pics from ESPN's Body Issue

It was recently reported out Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy would take part in ESPN's Body Issue - where a number of athletes strip down to nothing and show off their physiques.

Taking to Instagram this week, Kenworthy shared a few shots from the photoshoot to his 561,000 followers.

"Y'all wanted nudes? You got 'em!" he wrote in the caption for one photo. "So excited to finally get to show you guys my photos from the ESPN Body Issue!"

He adds:

"Everything about this shoot was terrifying: I had to be naked, on a ski mountain, standing in the snow posing in front of a crew of 16 people for six hours! Although that might sound like torture it actually ended up being one of the most amazing experiences of my life! It's kind of crazy how quickly you can get comfortable in an awkward situation with just a few shots of tequila.

"I really can't thank @benlowy (the photographer) and the rest of the crew enough for making me so comfortable and for doing everything to capture me in the best light possible. The Body Issue is, to me, a perfect combination of sport and art and I couldn't be more proud or honored to have been a part of it! More pics to be posted soon but don't forget to pick up your issue on newsstands this Friday, July 7th!"
