Olympic legend, knitting king, and general icon Tom Daley popped up at the Ham Yard Hotel in London (yes, it’s a real place, not a place you buy pork) for the star-studded-ish screening of his brand new documentary: Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds.
The title? It’s the amount of time it takes Tom to perform a dive… or maybe how long it takes for us to fall head over heels for him. Science is still investigating.
Now retired from Olympic diving (cue dramatic music), the 31-year-old legend did not show up alone. Oh no. He rolled deep with his former diving BFFs Noah Williams and Matty Lee, because when you’ve been flinging yourself off platforms with people for years in nothing but tiny swim briefs, the bond is real.
Also on the guest list? Tom’s mum, Debbie Daley — looking fabulous, supportive, and probably still not over the time her son brought home an actual Olympic gold medal like it was no big deal.
In case you somehow missed the Tom Daley lore: he’s been an Olympic hero since he was 14 — when the rest of us were just figuring out how to talk to our crushes without combusting. Over four Olympics, he collected five medals like Pokémon cards: one gold, one silver, and three bronzes. That’s not a flex. That’s a full workout.
And because this documentary isn’t just about dives but also depth, Tom opened up about his lifelong struggle with “horrible body issues” in a recent promo chat. Because even Olympic Adonises have tough days with the mirror — and that’s your reminder to be a little nicer to yourself, babe.
Tom Daley: 1.6 Seconds will be streaming exclusively on Discovery+ starting June 1. Mark your calendars. Set an alarm. Tattoo it on your wrist. Whatever it takes.
Because if Tom Daley is talking, we are listening. Preferably in high-def.
