There’s a mysterious silver daddy getting everyone hot and bothered.

On Monday, a viral tweet showcasing an oiled up shirtless grey-haired gentleman sprawled out in nothing but silk underwear, sock suspenders and black lace-ups immediately took everyone’s breath away.

A second shot showed him standing erect with the revelation that he was now adorned in a jockstrap. Lawd have mercy!

“How can one person be this much?” the poster captioned the jaw-dropping images. “FYI he’s straight! ..So not only gay guys rock this kind of stuff.”

Of course, because of the time we are living in, the immediate question one might ask: is he real?

If AI influencers can take over The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere, nearly anyone these days can mock up a magazine cover and create a nearly perfect male specimen in minutes.

And taking the original posters information as fact, the model’s purported heterosexuality through many further for a loop.

So who is this silver daddy?

First things, first. This is not AI and is in fact one of the upcoming covers for issue #17 of magazine L’Homme Nu, lensed by photographer Marcel Plavec.

According to the publication, “L’Homme Nu is about tasty and tasteful male nude photography and naked gents with personality.” It’s also the more risqué brother publication to men’s style outlet The Perfect Man.

OK, so who is this gorgeous man?

The man of the hour is German-Danish male model Frank Christians.

The 55-year-old stunner has been serving Zoolander looks since the ’80s. He’s appeared on countless magazine covers, editorials, runways, and, yes, even the occasional sultry underwear spread.

15 years ago, he transitioned into hosting various TV programs in Germany. Christians returned to the modeling world at the age of 50 has been working nonstop since.

“In 2020 I restarted modeling at the age of 50 as a so-called ‘best ager’ which opened a new market for me,” he told Glamour.

Category is: Zaddy of your dreams.

What team is he on?

Sorry, fellas. It seems the original poster was correct as Christians does appear to be hetero. He’s a father of three and looks to be married to fellow model Maria Eberwein, with whom he occasional collaborates on shoots playing bride and groom.

In 2021, he shared an interesting Father’s Day post that definitely leaned into his daddy status, if you know what we mean.

As we mentioned, L’Homme Nu shows artful photos of men in the buff and Christians is not shy.

In his not safe for work editorial, he definitely lets it all hang out and revealed he first posed sans clothes at the age of 45.

And though he considers his calves his favorite body part, Christians revealed when he knew he was well endowed: “That you notice when you’re in a sauna and wonder why others have wandering eyes.” ????

God bless these straight men in the sauna!
