Olympics unofficial Muffin Man Henrik Christiansen's TikToks have made him a star in Olympic Village

NANTERRE, France — Norwegian swimmer Henrik Christiansen is a star, thanks to his gold medal-worthy TikToks about the mouth-watering chocolate muffins in the Olympic Village.

The unofficial Muffin Man of the Paris Olympics, Christiansen's videos are hilarious and so creative, and they've boosted his follower count from about 3,000 before the Paris Games to more than 340,000 and 16.7 million likes as of Saturday afternoon. His sense of humor is too good, and he brilliantly used a sound from an iconic scene in Shrek to really lean into the Muffin Man identity.

Saturday after Christiansen finished 20th in the men’s 1,500-meter freestyle prelims, I caught up with him to talk about all things muffins.
