Anchor Away! David Muir Charms Fans with Summer Vacation Snap
ABC News anchor David Muir is making waves on social media, but this time it’s not for breaking news. A recent Instagram photo of Muir enjoying a boating excursion has fans swooning. Sporting a navy polo and sunglasses, with the wind tousling his hair, Muir captioned the picturesque shot with a simple rowboat emoji and the question, “Is it really nearly August already?”
The comments section quickly overflowed with admirers praising Muir’s “handsome” appearance, with some even comparing him to John F. Kennedy Jr.
Compliments poured in, ranging from “So handsome, enjoy your time away from work,” to more effusive declarations like, “Love him.. easy on the eyes & brilliant!” Even celebrity friends like Kelly Ripa chimed in, jokingly tagging GQ magazine in the comments, a sentiment echoed by Monica Lewinsky.
The attention is nothing new for the 51-year-old journalist, who recently spoke about the “thirst videos” fans have created about him on TikTok. Muir takes the attention in stride, joking about being called “Daddy” and admitting his discomfort in a tuxedo. However, he ultimately appreciates the compliments.
Despite the online buzz, Muir insists his dog, Axel, is the real star. He recounted stories of people recognizing Axel on walks, proving that even a prominent news anchor can be outshined by a beloved canine companion. Muir humbly conceded, “The dog is always the most important.”
