Team GB’s Gus Kenworthy has landed a role for after the Winter Olympics, and it’s about sugar daddies.
The 34-year-old Olympian who has dual British and American citizenship having been born in Chelmsford, Essex and growing up in Telluride, Colorado came out of retirement to take part in his fourth Olympics.
In an interview with People, Kenworthy said he feels positive about skiing for Team GB at the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
Aside from his Olympic career, Kenworthy has been announced to join the producing team of the Off-West End production Sugar Daddy, alongside Alan Cumming, Billy Porter and RuPaul’s Drag Race UK season 7 star Sally TM.
Sugar Daddy is a one man show starring and created by Sam Morrison about his summer romance in Provincetown, Massachusetts, and the death of his partner amid the COVID‑19 pandemic. The show explores Morrison’s experiences with grief, queer identity and a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
Kenworthy told TNT Sports that the show is “really funny, it’s really heartfelt, it’s moving – it’s his story about loss and resilience”.
He recalled of his own experiences with loss: “When I was 14 I was in an accident with two of my best friends and my best friend was killed.
“I felt like it really resonated with me, and I have felt loss too, so I was deeply, deeply moved by it.”
On Friday (20 February), Kenworthy advanced to the men’s halfpipe final, giving him a chance to secure another medal.
Kenworthy won silver at the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 and also competed in PyeongChang (2018) competing for the US. He took part in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing for Team GB.
Sugar Daddy will play a five-week run at the Underbelly Boulevard theatre in Soho from 5 March to 4 April.
