“F*ck Yeah Tom Daley” is the newest Tom Daley Tumblr fan blog that is following the diving star’s whereabouts in the aftermath of the London 2012 Olympics. He’s also become a social media sensation thanks to his own Twitter profile, which has 1.6 million followers - to date - many of whom are famous and message and retweet Britain’s newest teenage idol on a regular basis.Īnd now, the diver has also become part of the “meme royalty” populated by the likes of American “not impressed” gymnast McKayla Maroney, presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee Paul “Hey Girl” Ryan and Canadian heartthrob Ryan “F*ck Yeah” Gosling. Tom Daley, the English diver who won bronze in the London 2012 Olympics, while predicting the end of Chinese domination in that sport by the Rio 2016 Games, has transcended the swimming pool to become a pop cultural icon in the UK – wowing scores of screaming fans at books signings, and showing off his underarm tattoo (and Speedo) on television programs.
