Michael Phelps is the New Face of Louis Vuitton

Aside from the news that the most decorated Olympian of all time has signed on to be the star of a reality TV show that will chronicle his professional golf training, Michael Phelps has also picked up a side gig as a model.
Yes, the fastest swimmer in the world is now the face of Louis Vuitton's latest ad campaign. 
Famed photog Annie Leibovitz photographed the 27-year-old for the campaign. One of the shots features Phelps partially submerged in a tub of water (surprise, surprise) donning his swimming goggles on his head and sporting his normal uniform of a Speedo, while his Louis Vuitton duffle can be seen on the floor beside him. 
In the second shot from the ad, a suit-clad Phelps can be seen lounging and looking extremely dapper while sipping tea with an elderly woman.
