Michael Phelps is an awesome swimmer, no doubt about it, but the media are making him out to be some sort of male supermodel. Yes, he has a good physique, but as far as his facial capabilities go, he's an average looking guy. It is remarkable how the media can turn a individual of average looks into some sort of super-stud.
I think he looks a bit goofy personally.
