"Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry" Reading with Olympian Gus Kenworthy | E!

[Music] my name is Tyler Henry and somehow I've become Hollywood's go-to medium are you feeling anything yet just a bunch of tattoos on a man really yeah my method is unique I never know who I'm going to read until they open the door you think the tattoos are something recreational [Music] hello I'm good Gus I'm Joe come in I'm Gus Kenworthy I'm 26 years old and I'm an Olympic free skier competing in slopestyle Tyler may know me because I came out after the 2014 Olympics and was one of the first openly gay when our Olympians and first openly gay action sports athletes having a good day I am I'm excited to meet you I'm nervous wonderful to meet you when the door opened I had absolutely no idea who the client was but I had a lot coming through in that moment so I was excited to jump into the reading I have to tell you there's on the way here it was so funny because I was getting some impressions and there was a reference to a man with tattoos my schedule is crazy at the moment we've got a ton of Olympic selection events the last one ended yesterday I flew in last night and as hectic and crazy as it is I thought it was important to meet with Tyler because I have unanswered questions and I think that this is gonna be important and grounding hey well it's wonderful to meet you guys yes nice to meet you too so happy to be here I'm excited to see what comes in today because I've had some stuff coming through already as an athlete and especially as a athlete that's been in the closet for most of my career I've become very good at kind of like turning off my emotions and compartmentalizing everything not really shown a lot of vulnerability to my competitors or anyone else that I'm around and this experience is different because I'm really letting my wall down and letting my guard down and letting someone inside letting someone read me and it makes me nervous it's something I'm not used to have you seen the show before I have thanks so you kind of get the idea of how it works yeah I've only seen two episodes but both times I was kind of floored with what Tyler was able to do and how he was able to communicate everyone that I've told that I was gonna be doing this has been like oh my god he's the real deal I'm so excited for you and it's kind of heightened my excitement I'm nervous but I'm very looking forward to it worries well before we start I always like to explain the process and just let you know what to expect there is someone that I have been really hopeful that I'll have the opportunity to communicate with so that's been on my mind a lot the last few days the way that I like to kind of do this process is I scribble and it's just my way of meditating I just will basically do this throughout the session that's just my way of kind of tuning in and starting to connect I'll get kind of minute to scribble and then we'll go from there okay and what's kind of saying when I give it one sack I'm trying to think a couple things popping in so I'm just gonna kind of tune in for a sec I'm gonna see what comes through do you have someone who's passed away before their time like at an earlier age yes wasn't this something that could be perceived as quick or people did not feel like they got to say goodbye yes and the interesting thing was that I felt like I needed to kind of talk about this person who died young or passed away early that was really kind of the emphasis okay my heart is racing right now okay so as soon as we sat on the couch she was like I'm picking up on someone that passed away tragically young and the person that I want to connect with passed away when he was 16 and I was 14 when it happened and so obviously that was like lighting up in my mind you got the rainy like trips planned around the time this person passed yeah like we had a trip the next day gotcha okay I'm at his last lake they're bringing me to end of life end of life end of life let me talk about three people and it would have to be oriented towards like right around when we passed my moment transition there's three there's three three three do you know who those three would be I do okay I one of the three people is me one is my friend Colby okay and one is my friend Grayson Padgett the three of us were part of like a much bigger friend group but the night that my friend passed away the three of us were there and witnessed it and we're part of it and then he's having me acknowledge like I don't know if you know about this but there's a feeling with this of being honored in two separate places you know typically you know weed will be one big memorial and then we move forward but the ceiling with this is showing me being loved and he's showing me having connections in different places there would be two for me there would be two so that seems important and there's an appreciation behind this some reason is having me acknowledge a group of people and then he's having me acknowledge at color and like a group color thing that would have done it been done in a memorial type of way so for example if like everybody wears one color or if everybody releases a balloon of a certain color yeah that makes sense all of our group of friends wore yellow bandanas had yellow bandanas during this memorial there was no way that he could have known certain details like the two memorials which rang true for me with spreading his ashes in a second location and like the color the color thing with the bandanas that all of us wore we wore matching colors and it was just things that I don't know I don't know if anyone could have picked up on them without having that guest didn't see if someone was like named after a bird or if someone had a nickname that was like a bird I know it seems weird but just kind of keep it in mind it's weird it's like a weird nickname like what would that be that would be now making hoots there we've always had this connection our group of friends with owls because of Hanan we did like a t-shirt that was a fundraiser for his memorial it had an owl on it and so I got this owl tattooed on my rib cage before the last games after he passed someone was going to cancel something and then went with it went through anyway um we're gonna cancel it and it was like no don't cancel like do this anyway and the filling is doing it anyway and a feeling of like appreciation for not cancelling so yeah that's true yes that's really important that's was was me with my career I didn't think I wanted to continue skiing after who'd passed away I lost my best friend like I just felt depressed and and kind of like from that decided to rise up and really continue with the things that I loved previously because I loved them you know the things that he loved and if anything tried to put more emphasis on them to make a life out of them there's so much appreciation so much appreciation and what's so interesting is he's showing the symbology of handing you a torch and you're taking the torch and you're running with it and I feel like this is his time now say it give you that torch and to help you know and he is a lot to take in ya know it's pretty accurate so it's crazy he's there with us get some tissues chair won't take that take a minute I mean I've wanted to hear some of those things for 12 years he was a huge part of my life I mean when I was a kid he was one of my best friends and we had the same dreams and ambitions and since he passed even though I was young I did kind of make it like my life's mission or at least for skiing and my skiing career to to do it and do it in a big way in his honor and because of his loss and not let it be something where I feel like he died in vain he's like the number one person to come through he's the number one person that's gonna be around the person has hopefully what's gonna come through I really encourage you especially when you feel like he's not around and when you're missing him you know just speak out loud to him think about him I was create that dialogue in their head even because they can hear us they can feel our intention and clearly he knew that you were wanting to hear from him that's important oh he's so proud of you in all that you've been able to do and it's like he showed me symbolically his book closing in your book opening I've so wondered like if his spirit if his spirits even something that existed before this but like if he knew at all like what people have done the way that the community came together for him after he passed and so I think it just kind of like brought me peace to know that he did know that and does know that and sees that and is present for it how long ago did he pass away a long time ago 12 years ago we loved skiing our whole group of friends skied together I don't know if you know who I am but that's what I do I'm an Olympic skier I was in the 2014 Olympics I won the silver medal in my event Wow so who and Colby and I and Grayson were at a photo shoot on the mountain after the mountain closed doing a sunset shoot in the park and we're getting a ride from the bottom of the park to the top of the park on a snowcat and piled on the back and as it was going up the mountain who fell sideways over the side of it and was caught in the track and run over I think that guilt was something that I dealt with and to be one of three people sitting on the back of a snowcat and having someone fall off the side and die it's like you you feel like maybe it should have been you or it shouldn't have been him and I know for myself especially I was in the closet at the time I mean hadn't told anybody that I was gay and one who passed away I had remember wishing and feeling like had it been me that died instead everyone would have just remembered me in this great way and no one would've ever had to know this secret that I thought was like a dark secret and so I think I felt guilt that he had died and not me and he didn't deserve to and I did and things like that which aren't things that I still believe to be true but at the time I did what from him do you feel you would be able she like asked that would help provide him answer well it was I mean it was really interesting when you were saying everything about the passing of the torch and everything because after he passed I've basically dedicated my whole career to him and I feel like I'm coming at some point to a transition period and if I stepped away from that career if that would be okay with him when it comes to the longevity of this feeling is that you've carried this torch amazingly knowing that I think you can know that you are doing everything for him you have done everything for him and he knows that the people that loved him have made the effort to do those things now I think is a time for you to kind of branch I think that talking with who today kind of like reminded me that it's not just me and my pride and my ego and my career but I'm also doing it in his honor and I'm doing it for the LGBT community and I think that there's so much else that I am doing it for and I think that this experience with Tyler today kind of put it in perspective there Winter Olympics are coming up you have any plans for that yeah I mean I were in the middle of our qualification process which is crazy because the games were in a month but I go directly from here actually today to my last qualifying event and then our team is announced next week hopefully I'm part of it that's amazing well congratulations that's incredibly absolutely I'm gonna be watching I'll be rooting for you bring on the side of the mountain with pom-poms anyway that's so awkward my god haven't I get a TV show okay all right that was good it's been wonderful yeah me too absolutely anytime I'm always here to meet anything I feel drained I'm like sweating from him sitting there earlier hearing it all so yeah well thank you thank you bye that was crazy I had no idea if he was gonna pick up on the person that I was hoping to talk to to hoot and like the very first thing he said when he sat down everything just started to go that way and I don't know my mind's blown it was amazing Wow then going into the Olympics making the team if I do I would be bringing who with me and in spirit and I think that today gave me a sense of closure in a way and then in another sense also showed me that it's just not closed at all and his spirits still there so I'd be very excited to go back to the Olympics and to bring home with me [Music] there's something we've always been wondering about I went into this with one really important question and that was what if I might love life I already know so talk to in your office when you talk to dead people all their tireless unbelievable I'm barely breathing Jesus that was legit I'm saying hummingbirds oh my god I feel like I've talked about oh oh we don't talk about her now kidding premier of Hollywood medium February 28th [Music]
