Rob Gronkowski

9 things Rob Gronkowski actually said in his ‘GQ’ feature

There’s only one Gronk.

GQ GQ

If you thought you’ve seen peak Rob Gronkowski—Gronk doing Gronk things in their Gronkiest form— you thought wrong.

This is because Gronkowski has graced the cover of GQ magazine’s June issue, shirtless (because Gronk), ready to teach readers how to have the best summer ever. In the subheadline for the cover feature, we’re promised a “guide to grinding, twerking, waxing, crushing, and being way more obnoxiously fun than anyone has a right to be.”

We are indeed provided such a guide.

The entire piece is worth a read, but if you’d like the CliffsNotes version, we’ve distilled some of Gronkowski’s sweatier, Monster Energy-fueled quotes here.

  1. “The importance of lifting weights is it kind of makes me who I am.”
  2. “I’m gonna pop my shirt and get some of this sun.”
  3. “It’s natural. Except, like, sometimes I get like a little couple pieces of hair on my chest and stomach, but I just take the quick razor and shave it off when it gets super long. I don’t like any hair.”
  4. “You know what’s awesome? I like wearing no shirt, but you have jeans on the bottom.”
  5. “It’s literally been like that since the fourth grade. Wherever we roll, it didn’t really matter, chicks would come to me no matter what.”
  6. “Chicken is so good! So lean.”
  7. “My pet peeves are people touching me a lot.”
  8. “I’m self-taught. It took me four years to get where I am now with my dance moves.”
  9. “I drink to have fun, to feel good, to get tipsy. But my drink of choice is vodka and water.”
