Tom Daley might night be a big name stateside, but across the pond he’s a huge deal. His 3.2 million Instagram and 1.4 million TikTok followers prove that out.
The 2020 Olympic gold medalist and flag-bearer for Great Britain at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris is also a TV personality with a great sense of humor, like when he thoroughly tested out the cardboard “anti-sex beds” when he arrived at the Olympic Village.
So at the Olympics Opening Ceremony, he and Olympic rower/fellow flag-bearer Helen Glover posed to recreate the iconic scene from “Titanic” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

Even @TeamGB's flag bearers, Helen Glover and Tom Daley, can't resist recreating the iconic Titanic pose on the River Seine. #Olympics #Paris2024 pic.twitter.com/rKlXcENhPc

Nothing beats the epic scene from one of the best romantic movies of all time, but for Daley and Glover, it was a great way to enjoy their time along the Seine.
