Why he might be annoying:

    He has endorsement deals with Nike and Toyota.
    He has a tattoo on his back.
    He was overshadowed by Nathan Adrian and Michael Phelps in the 2012 Olympics.
    He swam in the 100-meter freestyle in the Summer Olympics for the first time in London and he did not win a medal.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was rescued after nearly-drowning so he learned how to swim as a young boy.
    His father died of lung cancer when Cullen was a teenager.
    He played basketball and did gymnastics before he settled with swimming.
    He set the world record time of 3:08:24 while winning an Olympic Gold Medal in 4×100 m freestyle (2008).
    That achievement marked the second time that an African American swimmer won a gold medal in an Olympics swimming event.
