'Nothing But Love': Beachgoers Cheer as Shy Man Takes Off Shirt in Public for First Time

An inspiring scene unfolded as a man who had never taken his shirt off in public before was encouraged to take a body-positive stance by a crowd of cheering beachgoers in Honduras.

Agustin Gutierrez-Leija, who can be seen in the video here, said he initially had no intention of getting into the water, because he felt “very insecure” about taking his shirt off.

That all changed when a man Gutierrez-Leija said he’d never met before “suggested we team up and do something cool together.”

The pair soon had everyone’s attention, with video showing them high-fiving, before Gutierrez-Leija takes the man on his back and dives into the water to cheers all round.

“For the first time in my adult life I took my shirt off in public,” Gutierrez-Leija wrote on TikTok. “It took an entire beach full of people with nothing but love to convince me,” he said.

As for the man he teamed up with, Gutierrez-Leija said that all he knew was he was from Texas, but he was hoping social media users might help find him again. Credit: Agustin Gutierrez-Leija via Storyful
