Say hello to Ethan Renoe.
He"s also now known as The Internet"s Favorite Shirtless Jogger.
With unseasonably warm weather spread across the East Coast and Midwest (Yay for climate change! In the short term!), Renoe was running around Lake Michigan in Chicago over the weekend when he happened upon a WGN-TV live news report.
Journalist Tahman Bradley was taken aback by the encounter, which started with the reporter posing a simple question to the pedestrian.
Dude, where is your shirt, man?" Bradley asks Renoe on camera.
Says Ethan in response, also on camera:
"It’s a great day for a run, [and] it’s too wet for a shirt. I love running in the rain, and I’m also single!"
HA! It doesn"t sound like someone lacks for confidence, does it?
Renoe also revealed that he"s originally from Colorado and he"s heading home for the holidays this week.
The video was posted to WGN-TV"s Facebook page and has been viewed over 1.7 million times, earning a spot in our Hilariously Awesome Moments in News collection.
"It"s really been crazy. I have about 900 friend requests [on Facebook] right now that I have to sort through," Reno told WGN-TV reporters on Monday.
"The feedback has been really crazy."
When asked if he"s "looking for love," Renoe replied very simply: "I am."
So he looks like this AND he"s honest? Let the lines begin, ladies!
