Ethan Renoe is the latest Internet sensation. Well, we have a few reasons.
It might be because he made a bit of a fool of himself on TV, or because he is looking for love or maybe because of his passion for his religion.
Ethan Renoe is from Colorado. He became known as the shirtless, hot jogger because he was out for a jog in just a pair of shorts, putting his buff body on full display and winning the hearts of thousands of viewers.
The 24-year-old personal trainer and recent communications and biblical studies graduate was visiting the Windy City when the weather hit. So he took the opportunity to go for a five-mile run in just a pair of blue athletic shorts.
He went shirt-free because of the high temperature and the fact that it was raining and it would soak his shirt anyway.
Renoe looked positively ab-tasty and glistening from the light rain as he chatted about the unseasonably mild December weather before telling viewers he's single.
WGN-TV reporter Tahman Bradley took place late at night on Sunday, December 13.
"Dude, where is your shirt, man?" Bradley asks Renoe on camera. "It’s a great day for a run, [and] it’s too wet for a shirt," Ethan says. "I love running in the rain, and I’m also single!"
The video was posted on the WGN-TV Facebook page and has already garnered over 1.7 million views.
It also led to Renoe being brought back for a follow-up interview on Monday morning -- this time wearing not only a shirt but also a hat -- where he proudly announced that he's a Christian.
Unfortunately for ladies in Chicago who are hoping to meet the Shirtless Runner, Ethan headed back to his home state of Colorado on Monday, December 14 but all is not lost.
Renoe says he's looking for love, and he has a Facebook page, blog and Twitter.
Ethan Renoe also happens to be an author. A book he wrote is titled Leaving Weather and according to Blurb.com Ethan has lived on six out of the seven continents, had 19 part-time jobs, and done four consecutive one-armed pull-ups.
