Photos of the Day: Michael Phelps, Merman


Will the IOC strip American Michael Phelps of his six Olympic gold medals now that we have proof that he is, in fact, a merman?

Very unlikely. The above photos are actually part of Annie Leibovitz’s “Disney Dream Portrait Series”. For these “The Little Mermaid” portraits, Julian Moore is Ariel to Michael’s merman.

So what does Annie think of our Olympic champ? “His movements were so graceful and beautiful you just felt like you were watching a real merman,” she says.

Will Phelps’ “merman like” movement help him achieve his goal of bagging eight gold medals in Beijing? If he does, we will have to crown him as the swimming GOAT (greatest of all time).
