Olympic champion Michael Phelps starred in a hilarious parody clip during Jimmy Kimmel's pre Emmy Awards show. The Emmys clip parodies the fact that all show or endorsement deals want him to be in skimpy speedos to show off his physique.
The video clip shows what it would be like to have Michael Phelps as a doctor on the popular TV show Grey’s Anatomy.
In the parody clip, Michael Phelps stars as the new Dr. on Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. McSwimmy. Michael Phelps turns heads as he parades around the hospital in his skimpy speedo swimming suit.
You know, we always hear about objectifying women in the media, but men get their fair share of objectifying as well.
