His post-Olympics charm offensive has seen him make Ellen DeGeneres laugh, Stephen Colbert swoon and Reese Witherspoon quote back his own tweets to him. He's shameless about his own celebrity crushes – Shawn Mendes, Harry Styles – and graceful at being on the receiving end, like when Sally Field tried to fix him up with her son. This spring he'll tour with Stars on Ice, and he's weighing a Dancing With the Stars slot – though he's already declared his readiness to serve as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race. He recognizes the platform that media attention has given him, and uses it both push buttons and make statements. It's no accident he wore a leather harness under his tux jacket to strut down the red carpet at the Oscars – forcing both nervous allies and haters alike into considering what, exactly, he does in bed with other men – and then donned an understated suit, no tie, to accept an award from the Human Rights Campaign.

Forget Dancing with the Stars. I'd love to see Adam as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race. That would probably make Mirai really happy too!
