Michael Phelps puts on his best 'Phelpsface' at MTV Video Awards

NEW YORK -- The most decorated Olympian of all time, swimmer Michael Phelps, offered a name to go with his famous Phelps face Sunday night, and it's one word: Future.

Phelps introduced Future at the MTV Video Music Awards, revealing that he was listening to the rapper and singer when he was photographed grimacing, hood up, headphones on, sitting in a chair near rival near Chad le Clos, from South Africa, before a race at the Rio Olympics.

The moment grew into the trending #Phelpsface on Twitter during the Games.

Live from Madison Square Garden, Phelps wore, well, clothes -- a chill white shirt, black pants and black jacket -- to fawn over Future before the Atlanta artist performed.

"I was in the zone with Future's track 'Stick Talk' blaring in my headphones," Phelps said of his now-famous grimace. "I might have a lot of golds, but this guy's got a lot of platinum."
