Hold your hearts: ‘world’s hottest maths teacher’ Pietro Boselli is officially putting his teaching career on hold to pursue a modelling career, to the surprise of basically no-one, ever.
Boselli rose to international fame after students at University College London, where he worked as a maths lecturer, began sharing photos of him online. After news that there was a bona fide hottie working in the unlikeliest of places spread internationally, Boselli grew a massive social media following – at the time of writing, he has over 800k Instagram followers, who are treated to visuals of the PhD graduate posing in a pair of indecently tight blue Speedos (see below).
Now Boselli will be fulfilling his modelling dreams and putting his teaching career on hold to model for Armani. Turns out, the Italian-born hottie has form in this area: fronting an Armani Junior campaign at the tender age of seven, and walking for Emporio Armani in 2008. Boselli is now the face of Giorgio Armani’s EA7 sportswear collection, 22 years after he was first scouted by the label.
While the academic world may have lost one of its brightest (and most attractive) stars, it might not be forever – rumour has it, Boselli wants to use his earnings from modelling to start his own engineering firm. Which would probably make him the first maths lecturer turned fashion model turned engineering boss that we’ve ever heard of.
