Pietro Boselli was born in Negrar, Italy.

He moved to London in 2007 to get his Mechanical Engineering degree at University College London.

The 28-year-old won over the internet in 2015 when his stint as a hot math teacher went viral after a student shared his picture on Facebook.

Boselli said he taught a few subjects including Modeling and Analysis, Computing, and Thermodynamics.

He finished lecturing in 2015 and received his PhD.

Boselli now has his first major modeling deal with Armani. He’ll be the face of Giorgio Armani's EA7 athletic-inspired line.

It’s not the first time Boselli has worked with Armani. He was actually discovered by the designer when he was six years old in 1995.

He also worked as a runway model for Armani after he turned 18 and has worked on campaigns with Moschino, Equinox, and Vogue.

In February 2016, Boselli launched a website as well as a YouTube channel to keep his fans apprised of his latest adventures.

One of his passions is fitness. Boselli will often post about his routine on his website and Instagram. He says he sometimes goes to the gym two or three times a day.

It definitely shows.

He started swimming when he was five years old before getting into trail and cross-country running.

Now, he’s all about strength training.
