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.

Boselli is listed on UCL's website as a research student, and according to his LinkedIn profile, he's been delivering math lectures, tutorials, tests and exams to second year undergraduate students in Mechanical Engineering for 10 months. Prior to that, he was a teaching assistant.

Boselli, a 26 year old who is originally from Italy, has a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on the computational design of steam turbines. He graduated from his engineering degree with honours.

As well as his academic career Boselli has almost 150,000 followers on Instagram and is represented by Models1 London.
