THE bromance was alive and well on set of Celebrity Splash.
Despite a 28-year age gap, it seems Olympic divers Matthew Mitcham and Greg Louganis struck up quite a friendship during filming of the reality show.
"He's the greatest diver that's ever lived,'' Mitcham, 25, said of his American co-judge.
Louganis, 53, and Mitcham will dive together for the first time in tonight's Celebrity Splash grand final.
The pair only practised once together, although Mitcham has been working solo to make sure he masters Louganis's signature dive, a flying forward one-and-a-half somersault pike.
"I was stoked to finally be doing a synchronised dive with one of the legends of our sport,'' said Mitcham.
"Greg is 53 and he's still got it. It blows my mind.
"I know I'm not going to be doing the 10m when I'm 53.''
Mitcham continued: "Greg has always been my diving idol, my diving inspiration. I'd always wanted to be like him.''
The Celebrity Splash grand final will see a host of familiar faces competing at Sydney's Olympic Park, including Tamsyn Lewis, Andrew Symonds, Nick Bracks, Adam Richards and Koby Aberton.
