This Italian water polo player has the girls, gays and theys begging for mercy

Have you ever seen a man so beautiful, you’ve had to stop what you were doing and sprint to the bathroom to…utter a respectful remark about how handsome he is?

Well, yes! During the Olympics, we’re seeing no shortage of gorgeous men. Each day seems to bring a new icon to our attention. Earlier this week, Sapphic icon Kim Yeji was the one to watch. Yesterday, we couldn’t stop talking about air rifle marksman Choe Dae-han. Today, we must call your attention to one Gianmarco Nicosia, the Italian water polo guard keeper whose glorious moustache sings a song of wine-drenched summers under the Tuscan sun.

This man is basically hot Mario—apologies to those of you who already find Mario hot in cartoon form, you are valid!

There’s just something about a man in water…

What do we know about Nicosia? Mainly that he’s very hot.

He’s a true team player…

And an animal lover!

Truly what more do you need to know? Gianmarco, we salute you. You may be a tall drink of water, but you still keep us thirsty.
