Manu Ríos & Marc Forné ignite a Brazilian heatwave with a shirtless romp through Rio
Manu Ríos was the king of Carnival in Rio.

You can expect a weather forecast of sweltering temperatures with a 100% chance of Manu Ríos shirtless.
If you were in Brazil last week, no doubt you felt the heat as the Elite hunk partied his way through Rio de Janiero for Carnival.
The 27-year-old put his sweaty, ripped musculature on full display as he took in the sights, hit the beach, celebrated in the streets and amid the vibrant Samba schools that turn the annual pre-Lenten festival into “The Greatest Show on Earth.”
Ríos does Rio!

Manu Ríos & Marc Forné
While on his escapades, the Spanish stud was accompanied by his stylist-turned-business partner Marc Forné.
Face card squared!
After dressing Ríos for years, Forné joined forces with the actor to create the streetwear brand Carrer in 2023.
The Barcelona-based line recently dropped their spring/summer 2026 collection.
However, based on their vacation photos it doesn’t seem like either wore much clothes during their South American rendevous.
Brazil has been in party mode since February 13 with the 2026 Carnival celebration, which wrapped up this weekend.
Rio de Janeiro was the epicenter of the festivities, where upwards of 6 million partygoers were expected.
On Monday, Ríos shared a slideshow of images highlighting his and Forné’s week-long extravaganza.
Sharing an emoji of the Brazilian flag, Ríos captioned the gallery: “You have my heart.”
Elite reunion
While many of Ríos more than 9 million followers were quick to share their love for his pics, the one comment that stood out was from his ex-boyfriend on Elite, co-star André Lamoglia.
The Brazilian hottie wrote: “You liked it, didn’t you?! Come back anytime!”
Thankfully, the TV lovers exchanged more than words, as the former cast mates enjoyed some quality time in Rio together. Posing in a photo, the men reunited wearing matching sleeveless shirts during one of the week-long events.
Patrick and Ivan forever!
To get an even better sense of Ríos’ Carnival itinerary, Forné shared multiple posts from the duo’s Brazilian adventures.
“Thank you for another carnival together,” he captioned one of the galleries that included multiple snaps of his and Ríos enviable physiques.
With their vacation now over, Ríos got some good work news last week as Netflix renewed his medical drama series Breathless for a third season.
The second season saw the addition of gay Spanish pop star Pablo Alborán to the cast, so hopefully he’ll be back as well.
Meanwhile, Forné shared an image that seemed to perfectly encapsulate his and Ríos’ Carnival experience.
It’s safe to say everyone feels the same!
