Adam Rippon Talks About Crushing on Shawn Mendes on ‘Ellen'
Adam Rippon who won a bronze medal and our hearts at the 2018 Winter Olympics, returned from Pyeongchang, and is on the hunt for a boyfriend.
Thankfully, Ellen DeGeneres who knows a lot of celebrities is here to help the the 28-year-old figure skater.
The cute little nugget appeared on the Ellen show yesterday, wearing his bronze medal and a T-shirt of his figure skating team. He talked about being a role model for the LGBTQ Youth and also revealed his celebrity crushes!
The openly gay fan-favorite Olympian listed several guys he wants to date. “I feel like a solid answer is Jake Gyllenhaal,” he told Ellen. That would actually be a really hot Daddy/Son Fantasy.
“I used to have a really huge crush on Harry Styles,” he said, as he leaned back in his chair, obviously struggling with this agonizing decision and putting his head in his hands. Ellen couldn’t stop laughing at what was likely about to be a very dramatic statement.
As far as Harry's sexuality is concerned, in an interview he did in London last year while promoting his latest album he said he’s “never felt the need” to use a label. “I don’t feel like it’s something I’ve ever felt like I have to explain about myself,”
He added: “Everyone should just be who they want to be. It’s tough to justify somebody having to answer to someone else about stuff like that.”
But Adam's heart is currently pining for singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes. “I was sleeping on Shawn Mendes, I didn’t realize how cute he was,” he said. “I know Harry will be upset.” Shawn Mendes is indeed a really hot hunk and they would look cute together.

Unfortunately, Ellen had promised to set him up with one of his celebrity crushes, but unfortunately, as Ellen pointed out, none of them are openly gay. She suggested trying to date someone who looks like them. “People have told me that. I can do that,” he said, laughing.
