While the weather reporter for Chicago’s WGN TV was filming Sunday’s segment about the dreary weather, somewhere on the horizon the clouds parted and a comically muscled bearded man dripping with sweat and rainwater emerged, a viral savior in an otherwise boring newscast. Marked with questionable-looking tattoos and boasting a body that probably doesn’t align well with your “eating cookies in bed” lifestyle, he appeared on-camera to sing the praises of running in the rain, and to remind viewers he’s single.
The internet quickly determined that the shirtless jogger is Ethan Renoe, an “author/photographer/personal trainer/nanny” who has his own blog where he writes stuff like, “With regard to pornography specifically, I lost sight of how love is meant to be reciprocated, not absorbed.” Eh, I’d still smash.
