Retired Olympic diver and silver medalist Tom Daley will be back in front of the world in June with the launch of his documentary, 1.6 Seconds.

Daley came out in 2013 and married his husband, Dustin Lance-Black, in 2017, all while he was in the spotlight for his time in the Olympics.

While promoting the documentary, Daley sat for an interview with The Times and got vulnerable about his experiences in front of the camera.

More specifically, he struggled with the photo shoot that accompanied the interview.

"I hate the way I look. I've always had such horrible body issues going through my diving career. Now I'm not an athlete that trains six hours a day, I especially hate it."
"I know if I'm rational about it, I should be completely happy, but seeing videos of what I looked like in the Olympics, I'm like, 'Why can't I look like that again?'"

Daley admitted to his struggles dating back to 2012 before coming out to the world.

"I remember looking in the mirror in, say, 2016, and hating the way I looked. And then you flash forward ten years, and you're like, 'I wish I looked like that. Why didn't I just appreciate it then?'"
"Growing up in the initial ages of social media and gay culture, being held to such a high standard, it's really difficult. Now I need to just have a healthy relationship with my body."

1.6 Seconds is coming to Discovery+ in June. Daley will also appear in his own knitting-centric show, Game of Wool, as well as a celebrity edition of Traitors.

It's easy to assume that someone who has won so much has a pretty easy life, but there's always more than what's displayed for the camera. It's important to remember that we never really know what someone is going through if we don't give them an opportunity to share their stories themselves.

MAGA Politicians Get Blunt Factcheck After Trying To Blame Biden For Screwworm Emergency In Texas

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall were called out after blaming a rise in screwworm infections in Texas cattle on former President Joe Biden—even though it was President Donald Trump's administration that cut funding for programs that track the parasite.

Earlier, the Department of Agriculture announced that a case of New World Screwworm—a flesh-eating parasitic fly—has been detected in a three-week-old calf near La Pryor, Texas, about 30 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The discovery marks the parasite's arrival in the U.S. after it spread northward through Central America and Mexico over recent years.

Florida Republican Representative Randy Fine was widely mocked after claiming during a Newsmax interview that Democratic voters in California went dumpster diving for discarded ballots to rig the primary election.

Republicans have alleged fraud took place but many of the fraud allegations appear to stem from a misunderstanding of how California counts votes, particularly the time required to complete the process.
