LONDON -- If you discovered your math lecturer was a very successful male model with thousands of fans you'd probably post it to Facebook, right?
That's what one University of London student did when he found out his Italian lecturer Pietro Boselli was not only an academic but also a male model discovered by designer Giorgio Armani.
Arief Azil posted side-by-side photos of the lecturer one with him in front of a whiteboard, the other of him modeling.
