Out Olympian Gus Kenworthy will appear in the upcoming ninth season of FX's American Horror Story.
Ryan Murphy, who created the anthology series with Brad Falchuk, announced the addition on Instagram.
"That special moment when you realize you have an Olympic medal AND will be playing Emma Roberts' boyfriend on American Horror Story season 9," Murphy captioned a photo of a shirtless, grinning Kenworthy.
"I guess the cat's out of the bag," Kenworthy said in response. "I'm [hands clapping emoji] So [hands clapping emoji] Fucking [hands clapping emoji] Shook [hands clapping emoji] ILYS."
On Twitter, Kenworthy asked himself how he prepared for the role, and answered: "I actually played 'straight' for the first 23 years of my life."
Kenworthy, who competed in the 2014 and 2018 Olympics, previously said that his "dream was to be an actor, not a skier."
