The world's most famous topless man was back in the news again Monday in all his oil-covered glory.

Pita Nikolas Taufatofua stole the headlines from the opening ceremony Friday, as the Tongan flag bearer entered the stadium topless and glistening in oil. It appears that heavy helping of shine had finally disappeared by Monday, so he went on the "Today" show and had correspondents Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager apply a fresh coat.

Taufatofua begins his competition in Taekwondo on Friday.
