Gives 33% of his income to Charity, a nonprofit he created himself. Lived out of a van, by choice, for years while writing books and doing talks around the country to inspire others. Has Aspergers, and has mastered the art of public speaking. Is the only living human being to Free-Solo El Capitan or the like. Which is 1,000 meters, and did it in less than 4 hours. Later that same day he went hang-gliding. Meanwhile, I struggle to get out of bed somedays. Really gives you a contrast of people in this world.

here we go again bitching

[@jonathanng0603]

Please explain. I’m just stating a fact here mate.

[@leonjurcevic1672]

Jonathan Ng isnt most of this for his kind of flare rock climing

[@maciek8159]

Leon Jurcevic But his stuff is essential needs mostly. Water, food, shoes etc. Then for his profession he’s got the bare minimum. He doesn’t need a fancy gold watch or chain.

[@lauren8538]

Manic Rhymes an $80 harness? A $25 chalk bag? An easily over $200 pair of noise canceling headphones? Sure, his everyday items are bare and “normal” but let’s not act like this man isn’t willing to spend money on and/or endorse extremely expensive products.

[@fritz411]

Have literally been binge watching GQ Essentials (with rappers and musical artists) and Alex Honnold vids (filming free solo, ted talk, speed climbing, even the annoying oscar speech) for the past few days, so I was particularly surprised and hyped to see this. Thanks GQ, very cool!

[@jperry9488]

Fritz so are we all doing the same thing? I legit been talking about Alex all the time just randomly in convo, I just watched the YBN, MGK, and Yungblud essentials and now Alex is on the channel!!! But then as I clicked the vid I thought this same thing!!! 😭😭❤️

[@Somberless]

@@jperry9488 dude same thing happened to mr

[@TheRausing1]

Dude literally has chalk on his fingers. Some people talk, this dude really lives the life. Pretty inspirational honestly.

[@EricJohnson-iq9rz]

Definitely thought this was gonna be just him reviewing each of his fingers lol

[@tyasasongko]

😂😅

[@joezo]

Man this guy is awesome. Very rarely do you see elite athletes at the top of their game living humble lifestyles, and being so level headed.

[@andreromitelli]

Everyone featured on gq should be more down to earth like this guy

[@d_skrilla6479]

His hands are permanently chalked. No amount of O’keefes will sooth them things. But alex is a superhuman.

[@madanotgt6375]

If its not broken then dont replace it I like how he use his item to the fullest

[@atari_rx]

Alex is one of my favorite free spirited person out there. I was scrolling through GQ’s playlist of 10 essentials and he is the only one I wanted to watch. He is the epitome of someone who can find happiness in living simply and minimally.

[@nikitalavrenov8048]

Finally, a first guest who ACTUALLY WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE without these things.

[@zeromailss]

Probably one of the most genuine guy to ever existed, watching him just give me so much joy

[@spaghettiboiz]

Super bowl commercial with Alex Honnold for Pistachios?

[@lukeandrews6383]

spaghetti boiz imagine how good he is at opening them

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Feels so unpretentious, and genuine. One of the greatest athletes to ever walk this planet, and there seems to be no ego. Humble, down to Earth.

[@nickclegg3528]

It’s funny how literally he takes everything. Even the fact that he is looking at the people behind the camera rather than the camera itself. 😂

[@jorreaelbrecht6441]

the one person that really needs his essentials

[@EitherOrr]

No designer products, candles/perfume, jewelry, gaming console and all that flexing. The man just brought true life saving essentials.

[@timhallfarthing383]

I mean he's flexing *hard* not everybody can say "oh yeah the guys who made the prototype framed the one I used" "These are my own charity brand"

[@marcanthony4930]

I love how he prioritizes (or doesn't) the few possessions he has. It if works, he never replaces it. Everything is a story or an act of generosity. The one thing I cannot believe he doesn't get a sponsor for is an iPhone case, I mean of all the people in the world to sponsor a case for dropping your phone, it would be him!!!

[@janvalle8998]

He is so pure. I love it.

[@joeman840]

I wonder if he has trouble with TSA. His whole life is covered in white powder

[@bboxxstance]

after watching his documentary, just the sight of him makes my palms sweaty.

[@goldenboatcaptain]

loving all this alex honnold content - keep bringing it please

[@karnish4956]

The fame he has and the simplicity with which he lives! Truly inspirational all around.

[@mrfurious505]

Very humble guy. Love hearing his interviews on the JRE. Lives within his means and no reason to buy overly expensive items. Loved it.

[@krishkodali1841]

He doesn't let his success and game get to his head. Very humble and down to earth guy. Down to earth is a pun..

[@itsskylon6415]

If anyone has never watched free solo go do it now. It will blow your mind. Alex is such a humble guy.

[@hellolamby]

I can’t stop watching videos about him the last few days. Such an amazing athlete! And his doe-y eyes get me every time 😍

[@robertsal3543]

He is the least materialistic person ever. Alex literally lives life to the fullest, adventures all over and is quite honestly living the dream. I have so much respect for this guy!

[@krugerbud]

Alex "For now it still works" Honnold

[@Karma7711]

He has the biggest hands and the smallest iPhone

[@luchadorito]

Super comfy combo

[@BryceRogers_]

Watching this video on my SE. I totally understand his preference

[@isaacm.b7454]

Nobody: Alex: it still works...
