LSU star gymnast reveals 12-year-old boys and their dads are her biggest ... trends now
LSU star gymnast Olivia Dunne revealed her most feverish supporters are normally 12-year-old-boys and their dads as she spoke of handling her viral fame.
Speaking on the 'Full Send Podcast', Dunne added that while men often go out of their way for her attention, her female fans are often 'a little more reserved'.
'Ever since I did Sports Illustrated, too, there are like 12-year-olds and their dads (asking for autographs), which comes with what I do,' she said.
'I love meeting all my fans, but especially the girls. They’re always so sweet. (The guys) are a lot more forward.'
Her remarks come months after LSU was forced to hire a bodyguard for Dunne when she was mobbed by a group of teen boys at a gymnastics event in Utah.

Dunne shot to online fame after her gymnastics displays and striking looks caught attention on TikTok and Instagram in recent months.
She landed a series of sponsorship deals as she went viral, and she revealed on the Full Send Podcast she was even paid over $500,000 for a single social media post.
But she added that her popularity has led to some unexpected fan encounters.
'Usually, whenever people come up to me and they're older, they say it's for their daughter's friend's sister's dog,' she said.
'I love meeting female fans. They’re a little more reserved. They usually don’t come up to me as much as the guys or at least they’re a little more nervous to.'
