A man who likes to run shirtless in the rain has become an internet sensation after he was interviewed on a local news station during a segment about the warm weather in Chicago.
In the segment a WGN TV Chicago news reporter stands in the rain wearing a cagoule and his hood pulled up onto his head, while interviewing a topless Ethan Renoe, who has been out running in a pair of shorts in the unseasonably warm December.
“It’s too wet to wear a shirt,” Mr Renoe, 24, tells the reporter, adding: “I love running in the rain”.
Mr Renoe then adds: “I’m also single!” while making a phone gesture with his hand.
The 28-second video has since been viewed more than four million times and shared over 31,000 times on Facebook.
Mr Renoe, who lives in Colorado but was staying in Chicago, was interviewed in a shirt by the same reporter the next morning where he told viewers he is a proud Christian.
The day before he travelled back to Colorado Mr Renoe was invited onto a third and final segment on WGN TV, called “Ethan the shirtless wonder is looking for love”. He said had received about 900 Facebook friend requests since the original interview had run.
