He was the Boy Wonder at this year's London Olympics.
But for a new photoshoot, bronze medallist Tom Daley turned to another superhero for inspiration - Superman's alter ego Clark Kent.
The 18-year-old, who won his first Olympic medal at the men's 10 metre final earlier this month, has posed as the Daily Planet reporter in a new shoot for Heat magazine.
Boy wonder: Tom Daley comes over all Clark Kent in a shirtless photoshoot for Heat magazine
Showing off his six-pack in the shoot, Tom is sure he will always remain fit, even when he retires from diving years in the future.

'I do want to make sure that I don’t lose my shape. I want to stay in shape.'
He also spoke about his crush on Cheryl Cole, who publicly asked him for diving lessons on Twitter following his triumph at the Olympics.
He explained: 'We’re trying to organise a dive which would be pretty cool. I think it’s just trying to sort out a time and a place.
'I saw her (swan) dive when she performed on The Voice, it was good actually. It was pretty good. If she had done it into water it would have hurt her because she would have landed flat on her stomach but, you know, we could work on that.'
But despite his affection for Cheryl, he's adamant he would prefer his medal over the singer any day.
When asked to choose between a kiss from Cheryl and his bronze medal, he replied: 'Oh God… Definitely the medal. I’m sorry, it has to be the medal.
'I’ve worked for ten years for that to try and get an Olympic medal but Cheryl Cole has only been on my mind the last two or three so…'
