Student Discovers Lecturer Is Hunky Male Model, World Wishes They Went To UCL

University College London is one of the best places to study in the world, ahead of the prestigious LSE as well as Cornell and New York University across the pond.

But that’s not why UCL hit the headlines this week.

It’s because one of its undergrad students discovered their lecturer was actually a hunky male model – while they were sitting in his class!

Student Arief Azli posted on Facebook: ‘That moment when you realised your maths lecturer is one of the top designer model #‎OnlyatUCL #‎UCLengineering #‎MechanicalEngineers #‎ModellingandAnalysisClass #‎Bromance [sic].’

He shared it alongside a pic of 26-year-old lecturer Pietro Boselli teaching the class Mechanical Engineering – as well as a topless modeling snap that he found online.

One commenter wrote on Facebook, ‘Are there any girls in your class? I'm sure they can't concentrate. Lol. Beauty with brain..eh silap. hottie with brain [sic]’

Another said, ‘oh god! he's so young as well. n he looks nyummy! hahaha [sic]

While another voiced the thoughts of the nation when he wrote ‘I knew I should have applied to UCL!!’

The Italian teacher in question has now become something of an internet sensation, with fans calling him ‘the hottest maths teacher in the world.’

To be fair, we challenge you to find a hotter maths teacher. We reckon it won’t happen.

Snooping on Pietro’s social profiles (namely LinkedIn and Instagram), we discovered he’s no longer a lecturer at UCL *sob* – because he’s too busy studying for his PhD in engineering!

He’s also a dedicated gym rat and says he’s ‘addicted to training’, which explains why his Insta is full of photos of him running, cycling, swimming and general gym-ming.

He was also crowned the European Fitness Model 2014 at a recent competition at London's o2 Arena.

Alongside pouty selfies, of course.

But we’re not the only ones to appreciate his good looks as he’s signed to Models1 – the same agency that represents supermodel Erin O Connor.

Has the internet just discovered the world’s next biggest male model?! Something tells us so…
