In a recent post on Instagram, Phelps’ wife shared a video of her husband. Michael can be seen sporting a ‘top knot’ hairstyle which looks rather good on him.
The swimmer holds the door open for a waiter who is bringing in a lot (A LOT!) of ice as Phelps gets ready for an ice bath. Michael’s incredibly shredded body is also indicative of the fact that even though he retired roughly 6 years ago, he has continued to stay in peak physical condition.
Michael’s life post-retirement
While Phelps has frequently been seen golfing with his buddies or in various tournaments, he has been doing much more than just that. The 36-year-old retired after the 2012 Olympics. He then made a comeback in the 2016 Olympics before finally retiring with no intention of ever making a comeback again.
